Summary

In this chapter, we worked through many different conceptual elements, including an overview of some basic mathematical concepts, which serve as a base for the machine learning concepts.

These concepts will be useful when we formally explain the mechanisms of the different modeling methods, and we encourage you to improve your understanding of them as much as possible, before and while reading the chapters, to better grasp how the algorithm works.

In the next chapter, we will have a quick overview of the the the complete workflow of a machine learning project, which will help us to understand the various elements involved, from data gathering to result evaluation.
