About the Course

This intermediate-level course introduces the mathematical foundations to derive Principal Component Analysis (PCA), a fundamental
dimensionality reduction technique. We'll cover some basic statistics of data sets, such as mean values and variances, we'll compute distances
and angles between vectors using inner products and derive orthogonal projections of data onto lower-dimensional subspaces. Using all these
tools, we'll then derive PCA as a method that minimizes the average squared reconstruction error between data points and their
reconstruction. At the end of this course, you'll be familiar with important mathematical concepts and you can implement PC...

This is one hell of an inspiring course that demystified the difficult concepts and math behind PCA. Excellent instructors in imparting the these knowledge with easy-to-understand illustrations.

Now i feel confident about pursuing machine learning courses in the future as I have learned most of the mathematics which will be helpful in building the base for machine learning, data science.
