Dear GNeuralNetworkers,
it is very exiting to have heard of this community and start to be part
of it.
Unfortunately, I must admit that my mathematical background is limited and
rusted. Thus my question:
Which mathematical fields would you recommend to revise/learn and to
which level of deepness?
Would you agree or extend the syllabus of the Machine Learning Nanodegree of
udacity.com, which I copied here for convenience from
https://www.udacity.com/course/machine-learning-engineer-nanodegree--nd009 ?
- Intermediate statistical knowledge
- Populations, samples
- Mean, median, mode
- Standard error
- Variation, standard deviations
- Normal distribution
- Precision and accuracy
- Intermediate calculus and linear algebra
- Derivatives
- Integrals
- Series expansions
- Matrix operations through eigenvectors and eigenvalues
Would anyone by interested in co-writing free (libre) accompanying materials
for understanding and using machine learning algorithms with gneuralnetwork,
including cute examples?
Little cute projects like this have some traction

A more extensive syllabus on math background can also be found in the
Introduction to Machine Learning - Cambridge University Press 2008
available online at http://alex.smola.org/drafts/thebook.pdf
but not under a free (libre) license.
Do you know any other good resource on math background?
