Does anybody know a course on machine learning with python that doesn't need that much mathematical knowledge? Because in every course I find I need to know advanced mathematics yet I am still in grade 10 and haven't studied it yet.

    And that's how you become the guy that everyone want's to copy his homework from.

    Study now out of interest and be the king later!

    If it's something your interested in, then definitely go and study it yourself. There's no rule that says you must wait for your school to teach you.

    @J-2FA @ObsidianBlk But how do I learn the maths required, it's too advanced, it's the maths that data science students in university learn.

    @HRT-713 I'm not going to lie... The math behind machine learning is... A bear! Looking at the math for a simple feed forward neutral network nearly gave me a nose bleed. You're looking at learning calculus... Which can be quite a task at your level (hell, it's a task at any level). You can still learn it. The internet is an amazing place for all of the learning material you need... You just need to take the time to look, listen, and learn.

    That said, if you can already read python (or any computer language with a neutral network program libraries) look at existing source code. See how others are achieving the results you're looking for. Start small, though. You have plenty of time. You're not going to create the world's first true AI in a week... Hell, you will be very hard pressed to program a NN that can play Mario in that amount of time. Start with small things. Understand how they work. Replicate them for yourself. Experiment.

    All together, it'll click! Eventually!

    I'm in 9th grade and I have started to learn the math that is required. Just push yourself and you can do it.

    @HRT-713 get some books and learn the math. Not that hard

    @ThaOneDude what resources are you using?

    @HRT-713 my dad had some old textbooks that my dad used. Also you should check out ohio state university's online calculus courses on coursera they r great.

    Machine learning is maths there is no way around it.

    That's no different than asking if anyone knows of a good college English textbook that doesn't require knowledge of English.

    Machine learning is applied calculus. Learning and using it naturally requires knowledge of calculus.

    Google bro, go look up some pre Calc, Calc, and Stat textbook pdfs

    Same situation here.
    From YouTube, I have gained that you need calculus for the 'learning' part.
    I also gained that by doing that, I got ads for machine learning courses on Udemy for a month.

    AFAIK, every python course on machine learning is math-less.

    include stuff, add data, do some textbook-level sanitizing of the data, run the thing and that's it.

    Then spend a month fine-tuning the thing.
