Probability Theory
It is a discipline of mathematics concerned with the study
of random processes.
• It estimates the likelihood of future events, often
using a numerical scale from 0 to 1, where 0
represents impossibility and 1 denotes certainty.
• It plays a pivotal role in hypothesis testing, Gaussian
distribution, and the probability density function.
Statistics
It is concerned with the collection and processing of data.
• All machine learning models are built around
statistical concepts.
• It is essential to use statistics in machine learning
when working with classifications such as logistic
regression, discrimination analysis, hypothesis
testing, and distributions.
Coordinate Geometry
• It is the combination of algebra and geometry in
which algebra analyzes geometrical relationships
and geometrical figures are represented by
equations.
• It denotes points, lines, and curves using algebraic
equations.
• It applies to the data that is analyzed with an
ordered pair of coordinates.
Linear Algebra
The construction of linear equations is vital in developing machine learning
algorithms for analyzing and monitoring datasets.
Linear algebra plays a significant role in machine learning, influencing loss functions,
regularization, covariance matrices, and supporting vector machine classification.
Eigenvalues, Eigenvectors, and Eigendecomposition
Following are some fundamental concepts in linear algebra and play a crucial role
in various mathematical and scientific applications.
• It is used in a wide range of fields, such as physics,
engineering, and computer science.
• For example, eigendecomposition is used in
techniques such as PCA, feature extraction, and
image compression.
Calculus
It is used in to train and optimize mathematical models.
