Should I go back and learn more on statistics before I learn the machine learning course ?

Question

I feel like I need to go back to my textbook and refresh my memory on statistics before I go on with learning machine learning.

and also some linear algebra and calculus is needed (calculus you will learn in 11th i guess) but if you want to skip calculus so its ok(for sololearn course )

[calculus ] if you want to give it a try

after learning calculus see for gradient descent https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZHQObOWTQDNU6R1_67000Dx_ZCJB-3pi

Answer 2

Absolutely, you need to. Machine Learning basically uses basic mathematics and statictics and usually, data returned must be run thriugh some form of graph or something. Not just Statictics, get a good grasp of Mathematics before you major the course.
