Question 1

Should I learn Python or math first for machine learning?

Accepted Answer

Either order works — pick whichever blocks you less today. If equations scare you, start with Python from Zero and meet the math when you're curious what the code means. If code scares you, start with the math courses (they begin at arithmetic and need no programming at all) and pick up Python when you want to run what you understand. The two paths are designed to meet at the Machine Learning course.

Question 2

Can I learn machine learning without knowing Python?

Accepted Answer

You can understand machine learning — models, losses, gradients, evaluation — entirely through the math courses, which use interactive figures instead of code. To eventually run and build models you'll want Python, and Python from Zero teaches it with no installs: read-and-predict lessons with auto-graded practice, ending at real gradient-descent code.

Question 3

How much math do I need before starting Python for machine learning?

Accepted Answer

None. Python from Zero assumes no math beyond arithmetic and no programming experience. The math track likewise starts from whole numbers and fractions. Whichever door you pick, the ground floor is the ground floor.
