• Why Machine Learning Needs Mathematics: Rewriting Learning as Loss MinimisationRegression and classification both reduce to a single optimisation problem, empirical risk minimisation. We show where linear algebra, calculus and probability enter, with complete proofs for least squares and gradient descent.Computer ScienceMathematics for Machine LearningUndergraduatemachine learningempirical risk minimisationleast squaresgradient descentmaximum likelihood~23 min
