Comment on Ask HN: As a professional, does it worth it to learn the math behind NN?

Comments

Since you're working in the field - yes, obviously. It's not even that much math - the building blocks are fairly straightforward linear algebra and calculus.

Here's a nice, fairly detailed, summary - https://explained.ai/matrix-calculus/. But if you haven't taken undergraduate level single/multivariable calculus and linear algebra, I would take them from MIT Opencourseware even if it's just to fight off the impostor syndrome a little bit.

thank you! on a quick look, that seems straight to the point, for someone who had calculus and linear algebra in 2006.
