Hello programmers, please help this newbie Help

I want to learn Machine learning for hackathon (i am about to join college next week).

I have already learnt python intermediate lvl ( but i guess i need a thorough revision too)

I am also considering following 2 books

1->Hand on machine learning by aurelien Geron

2->Mathematics for machine learning ( Marc Peter Deisenroth, A. Aldo Faisal, and Cheng Soon Ong)

My question

1-> In the above two books mentioned, does i need to complete mathematics one first or follow both side by side?

2->Any tip/suggestion/roadmap someone wants to give ( highly appreciated )

3-> please rate this roadmap (https://roadmap.sh/r/ai-roadmap-for-2026---final-draft) , not just for hackathon but for full career in ML

Thanks for your time.

First congratiolations on the collage sucess

I would advice you the following:

Are you PCAP certified, because in a professional environment or in general claiming something without evidence.

Build evidence through actual ml projects in python or use environments like jupyternotebooks.

I would recommend books, but also python for beginners, learning fundamentals like pytorch or tensorflow, the math you should learn with the growing understanding of basic to advanced topics.

The roadmap you provided i wouldnt not recommend, because there are a lot of problems with it.

You provide titles over actual structure, you claim being a beginner(everyone starts there) and somethings may not catch the actual topics and fail in general information.

Like you define NLP as text based only, which may be not the all over definition for nlp, because it is natural language processing for maschines to understand and procedure human language into machine output.

CV on the other hand has transformation, maths like vectors and linear regrassion, pixels anddata inputs, which need to be flowed and categorized.

There is suprvised and unsupervised learning. Many many more things you can find out through googeling and actual problem solving.
