Course Importance

This course is an introductory course into the statistically aspects of Machine Learning. It also sets a foundation of Machine Learning and its practical applications. Covers some concepts in detail but does not cover all fundamental concepts in Machine Learning. A little more on the mathematical side of ML. Even the quizzes and exams are straight up probability and statistics question based on ML.
