Mathematics of AI and Machine Learning: Multivariable Functions, Gradients and their Applications

In this lecture, we start learning how to apply the concept of a derivative to minimise or maximise functions gradually. Then we take a sneak-peek into more advanced calculus, introduce multi-variable functions, and learn how to compute their partial derivatives. This knowledge allows us to access the mathematical concept of a gradient, which we compute for several essential functions used in machine learning. Learning these crucial concepts is accompanied by several coding exercises, learning first hand ho
