[Lim Woong] The mathematics we need

Every summer, I teach an introductory machine learning course in an international summer program. This year, the class brought together students from more than 10 countries. Most were first- or second-year undergraduates curious about how machine-learning algorithms work and how artificial intelligence connects to their own fields of study. At the end of the course, I ask students to write a short memo for the next cohort. Nearly all say they need to improve their Python skills. Many also leave
