Ask HN: Best way to get started with AI?
I'm in the same boat. For long time, I was interested in AI but at the same time intimidated by math. I'm relatively comfortable with discrete mathematics and classical algorithms and at the same time calculus and linear algebra is completely foreign to me. Also, I do not accept way to learn ML without good understanding of core principles behind it. So math is a must.<p>A few months ago, I stumbled upon very amazing YouTube Channel <i>3Blue1Brown</i> which explains math in very accessible way and at the same time I got feeling that I finally started understanding core ideas behind linear algebra and calculus.<p>Just recently he published 4 videos about deep neural networks:<p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aircAruvnKk" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aircAruvnKk</a><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHZwWFHWa-w" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHZwWFHWa-w</a><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ilg3gGewQ5U" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ilg3gGewQ5U</a><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIeHLnjs5U8" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIeHLnjs5U8</a><p>So my fear of ML was gone away and I'm very <i>excited</i> to explore whole new world for neural networks and other things like support vector machines etc
