Mathematics for AI: The Hidden Language of Machines

Why Is Mathematics Essential for AI?

Many people dive into AI using pre-built libraries like TensorFlow, PyTorch, and Scikit-Learn, but these tools often act as "black boxes," hiding the mathematical operations that make AI work. Without understanding the underlying math, it’s challenging to fine-tune models, optimize algorithms, and innovate new AI solutions. This book demystifies the math behind AI, helping you go beyond the basics and gain a deeper, more intuitive understanding of how AI truly functions.
