Top challenges with learning Data Science & Machine Learning
It is hard to be a successful Data Scientist or ML Engineer without understanding the three main founding pillars - Math, Statistics, and Programming.
Every good data science or ML course in the market asks for a good understanding of Python programming, linear algebra, calculus, etc. but there is no course that explains why you need these and how they are used.
Most folks go on a snooze fest😴 when learning theoretical concepts of Math and Statistics.
How this course solves these challenges for you
This course covers all the pre-requisites and prework listed by the official Google’s ML course and more.
I am delivering this course to not only get you started in data science but to give you a strong foundation that will further help you in breaking down hard problems.
To save you from boredom, I have added interesting examples, quality videos, and practical code-based verifications that will keep you engaged.

To clarify your doubts
Answers to some of your questions
Are there any prerequisites for this course?
A computer (Windows/Mac/Linux). You must know basic school-level arithmetics. That's it! No previous coding experience is needed. All tools and software used in this course will be free.
Who is this course for?
- An aspiring data professional who is looking to build some solid foundations for data science.
- You are aiming to become a Data Analyst, Data Scientist, ML/DL Practitioner.
- You want to learn how to analyze data with python, pandas, numpy, and matplotlib.
- You want to learn how linear algebra and calculus train ML models.
Is it even necessary to learn math and statistics?
We feel you do need to have a decent understanding of how math drives data algorithms. You don't need to be a Gold Medalist. But without understanding the working of an algorithm(which is mostly math-based), you'll have a hard time growing beyond a certain level.
I hate math and I find it boring. Is there a workaround?
I have tried my best to make the lectures as intuitive as possible. Not only have I taught the concept, but I also walk you through real-world examples of where it is used in Python.
Do you provide a certificate after completion?
Yes, we definitely do.
Can I download the videos?
Definitely. You can download any and all lessons for personal use. I understand how important time is when you are commuting, flying, or in a poor network zone.
Why are you using Python?
Because I haven't found a more versatile and easy-to-learn language that gets the job done.
How long will I have access to the course?
You have access to the course for at least 2 years. You'll need to renew it after 2 years if you'll still need it.
