Can you explain the mathematics behind these algorithms?

Sure! Algorithms often rely on mathematical concepts like statistics, linear algebra, and calculus. Which algorithm are you interested in?

I'm curious about machine learning algorithms. How do they use mathematics?

Machine learning algorithms use statistics to make predictions based on data. For example, linear regression uses linear algebra to find the best-fit line.

What about neural networks? How do they work mathematically?

Neural networks use matrices to represent data and weights. They apply functions like activation functions to transform inputs into outputs.

Can you give an example of an activation function?

Certainly! The sigmoid function is a common activation function that maps any input to a value between 0 and 1, making it useful for binary classification.
