Motivation
Learning the theoretical background for data science or machine
learning can be a daunting experience, as it involves multiple elds of
mathematics, and a long list of online resources.

Resources
I will divide the resources to 3 sections (Linear Algebra, Calculus,
Statistics and probability), the list of resources will be in no particular
order, resources are diversi ed between video tutorials, books, blogs,
and online courses.
Linear Algebra
Used in machine learning (& deep learning) to understand how
algorithms work under the hood. Basically, it’s all about
vector/matrix/tensor operations, no black magic is involved!
Calculus
Used in machine learning (&deep learning) to formulate the functions
used to train algorithms to reach their objective, known by
loss/cost/objective functions.
Statistics and Probability
Used in data science to analyze and visualize data, in order to discover
(infer) helpful insights.
Bonus materials
