    Calculus is a big topic, but by and large, there are quite specific aspects of calculus that come into machine learning and in particular deep learning algorithms. This article is not intended to explain how and why things are as they are; rather it’s my own personal cheat sheet for when I need to remember…

    In September & October I was fortunate enough to attend the Data Science Intensive Program (DSI) in Cape Town. In a word: WOW!

    I’ve just worked through Imtiaz Ahmad’s Master SQL for Data Science on Udemy and it was a thoroughly enjoyable, morale-boosting experience!

    Today I’m ploughing my way through the edX Introduction to Linux and found myself wondering “whyyyy??”. It’s all quite entertaining and nifty, but how will I be using this later?

    I had an email today from a reader (“K”) who tried the Learn Python Challenge on Kaggle and (as does happen!) got to about Day 4 and then abandoned ship and went in search of more new stuff… The question is how to keep on going – when you get stuck, bored, de-motivated or perhaps even…

    Having just returned from one of those “no screens” holidays, I’m feeling super-balanced about life again (and also a little afraid that I may have forgotten everything I’ve been learning)!
