6 machine learning prerequisites for beginners

Machine Learning places immense power in the hands of its practitioners

High-school algebra and linear algebra

Focus points include linear equations, logarithms, tensors, matrices and their multiplications and functions.

Probability 

Probabilistic models and the theory of chance is considered to be a bedrock for statistics, which in turn is fundamental for machine learning.

Statistics

Combining probability with the good old mean, median, mode, variance, standard deviation etc is needed at the outset.

Calculus

It is used scantily at the basic level; knowing gradients and partial derivatives allows you to make sense of backpropagation.

Programming Language

Machine learning has flourished mainly because of the capabilities provided by powerful programming languages like Python.

Elementary trigonometry

Trigonometry basics are specifically required for understanding a activation function called tanh in neural networks.
