    About the Course

    This course offers a brief introduction to the multivariate calculus required to build many common machine learning techniques. We start at the
    very beginning with a refresher on the “rise over run” formulation of a slope, before converting this to the formal definition of the gradient of a
    function. We then start to build up a set of tools for making calculus easier and faster. Next, we learn how to calculate vectors that point up hill
    on multidimensional surfaces and even put this into action using an interactive game. We take a look at how we can use calculus to build
    approximations to functions, as well as helping us to quantify how accurate we should expect those approximations to be. We...
