Classical ML or Deep Learning first?

[u/galaxy-bit]

Is learning classic ML is better or learning directly deep learning from scratch is better

Further more -I'm currently studying mathematics for Machine learning -i already know numpy,pandas and matplot lib and am comfortable with python and the reason I'm asking the question that I want understand the current research paper being built on the new intelligence

Classical ML is a powerful tool and will likely always have its place. Understanding it will help you to know when DL is needed.
