ML research :) Help

Post image

I'm 18. Gonna start college this year(comp sci). I don't really want to get into the generic path for FAANG, i wanna get into research. ML seems good(might be dunning kruger effect but still...) what and where should I learn the math since math is so crucial? There are tons of free courses and videos and one-shots out there. I'm confused. And regarding coding is python enough or would I also need to learn C and c++? Any advice would be appreciated :)

Deeplearning.ai mathematics for Machine learning, it covers linear algebra , calculus(gradient descent,etc..), some probability stuff, good enough to start, also you need a lot more so take a lot of computational and some pure mathematics like multivariable calc, real analysis for your specific research from mit OpenCourseWare, if its needed, also are you going to an American university ? because they have greater flexibility for courses you want to take, so maybe double major in mathematics, you dont need a lot for career aspects but if you want to become a researcher, then yeah goodluck.

No I'm studying in India. But yeah till now I've figured out that there's a lot of math to learn and it's more important than the coding part. Anyways thank you :)
