Welcome to Introduction to Machine Learning—the course where we bravely attempt to teach you how to “make machines intelligent,” while most of your time will actually be spent making peace with matrices, probabilities, and bugs you swear shouldn’t exist. Why take this course? Because apparently “knowing ML” is the new résumé line that magically unlocks jobs, grad school, and eternal glory—or at least gets you to sound smart at dinner parties when you say things like “well, the model didn’t generalize.” Why does it matter? Because whether you like it or not, ML already decides what you watch, what you buy, and maybe even who you’ll date—so you might as well learn how it works, instead of just letting the algorithms run your life unchecked.
