If you want to invent new machine learning methods, you’ll need to know a good deal of calculus, statistics, and linear algebra.

If you only want to use existing methods (as shown in the MLS and DLS courses), you only need to use combinations of existing library functions. Those libraries implement all of the complex math for you.

You can start with this book. It is available for free online. Then practice some and find out what you’re lacking. Then google that topic and learn it.

You can use this loop, over and over again, :), …

Those are the topics.

Calculus would include partial differential equations - but nothing regarding integrals.
