Abstract

Machine Learning(ML) has an overarching impact, yet misconceptions about its fundamentals result in unrealistic expectations. This highlights the need for targeted educational research on how to effectively teach ML to both professionals and the general public. This thesis explores the knowledge required to learn ML, with a focus on mathematical skills, their impact on learning, and strategies for adapting instruction to different levels of math proficiency.
