Mathematics for Machine Learning

Just enough maths, taught visually and with code.

Next intake starts 3 November 2026

Overview

The linear algebra, calculus, probability and statistics that machine learning actually uses. Every concept is shown visually and implemented in Python so it sticks.

Who it is for

Learners heading into Machine Learning or Deep Learning who want firm footing.

Prerequisites

Secondary school mathematics. Python for AI is helpful but not required.

What you will be able to do

  • Work with vectors, matrices and transformations
  • Understand gradients and how optimisation trains a model
  • Reason with probability distributions and Bayes' rule
  • Apply statistics to evaluate data and models
  • Read the maths in ML papers and documentation

Curriculum

6 modules · 6 weeks
  1. Vectors, matrices and dot products
  2. Linear transformations and eigenvalues (intuitively)
  3. Derivatives, gradients and gradient descent
  4. Probability and common distributions
  5. Statistics: estimation, hypothesis tests, confidence
  6. Putting it together: a linear model from scratch

Tools you will use

PythonNumPyMatplotlibDesmos
Final project

What you will build

Implement and visualise gradient descent on a real dataset from scratch.

Your project is your assessment and the start of your portfolio. Complete it to earn your certificate.

Choose your class time

Every class covers the same lessons with the same tutors. Take it on campus, live online with recordings, or mix both week by week at no extra cost.

Weekend classes have fewer hours each week, so they run longer to cover the same course. Public holidays are made up on the following Friday. Next intake starts 3 November 2026. See all class times and intakes.

Questions about this course

Is the online class the same as the campus class?

Yes. Same tutor, same lessons, same project and the same certificate. Online classes are live, and every class is recorded within 24 hours.

Why does the weekend class take 9 weeks?

Weekend classes run 8 hours a week instead of 12, so they take a little longer to cover the same course. Morning and evening classes take 6 weeks.

What if I miss a class?

Watch the recording, then bring your questions to mentor office hours after class. If you need a longer break, you can move to the next intake.

Can I switch between campus and online?

Yes. Choose hybrid and switch week by week. There is no extra fee.
