The Mathematics of Data Science

Mathematics is the cornerstone of modern data science, unlocking insights from vast datasets.

Linear Algebra

Matrices and vectors from linear algebra enable data manipulation and analysis. Dimensionality reduction and regression analysis are made possible through linear algebraic techniques.

Probability & Statistics

Probability theory and statistics aid in understanding uncertainty within data. Techniques like hypothesis testing and Bayesian inference enable accurate predictions and informed decision-making.

Calculus: The Language of Optimization

Calculus techniques optimize models and algorithms for efficiency. Gradient descent is a fundamental calculus-based method for parameter fine-tuning in models.

Graph Theory

Graph theory analyzes network relationships in data. Understanding graph structures enhances insights in social networks and recommendation systems.

Machine Learning: Bridging Mathematics and Data Science
