What you need to know before you get started: A brief tour of Calculus Pre-Requisites
We have previously seen that calculus is one of the core mathematical concepts in machine learning that permits us to understand the internal workings of different machine learning algorithms.
Calculus, in turn, builds on several fundamental concepts that derive from algebra and geometry. The importance of having these fundamentals at hand will become even more important as we work our way through more advanced topics of calculus, such as the evaluation of limits and the computation of derivatives, to name a few.
In this tutorial, you will discover several pre-requisites that will help you work with calculus.
After completing this tutorial, you will know:
- Linear and non-linear functions are central
