What Google Recommends You do Before taking their ML or Data Science Course
First steps to learning data science & ML — foundations of DS & ML
Be it Andrew Ng’s ML/DL course on YouTube or any Data Science Bootcamp, you will need a certain degree of mathematical and statistical knowledge to not only understand but make a long-lasting, robust career as a data professional.
This is a short and precise guide for all autodidact and beginners in the field of Data Science and Machine Learning.
A common question that pops out from all my training programs, LinkedIn courses, videos on YT, or newsletters is that when they start learning DS/ML, after a certain point, they feel lost in mathematics or statistics and sometimes programming.
And I have always recommended learning or refreshing some mathematical concepts that underpin ML as it helps you build intuition which keeps you curious throughout your learning journey.
To back this claim, here are the prerequisites and prework Google recommends before taking their Machine Learning Crash Course:
