1/ I’ve thought for many years that strong verbal skills probably contribute to strong coding skills. “Code should read like a book!” was something a mentor told me that really stuck. Perhaps surprisingly- I’m not great with math- especially linear algebra of all things.https://twitter.com/fchollet/status/1208079432373563392 …

Oh and I have to point out as well that this is exactly the stance
@FastAI takes. It’s one of the many things that really stand out about how they approach teaching the subject matter. It really is empowering.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Linear algebra and calculus an important pre requisite in your opinion? Or do you reckon you can get pretty far just by applying and building upon code in the wild.

1/ I don’t think either are required and agree with
@fastdotai that algebra suffices. The core concepts from linear algebra and calculus that are most useful to know are very easy to get the basic gist on quickly (derivatives and matrix multiplication). - Show replies
