Day 5 of learning mathematics for AI/ML. Topic: solving problems related to matrices. I read the comments in my previous post which also made me realise that I am actually following a wrong process. Mathematics is a practical subject and I had been learning about the basic terminologies and definitions (which are crucial however I found that I may have invested much time in it than I should have). A lot of people have corrected me and suggested me to practice some problems related to what I am learning and therefore I decided to pick up maths NCERT textbook and solved some questions from exercise 3.1. The first question was really easy and thanks to basics I was able to solve it effectively. Then I was presented with a problems of creating matrices which I created by solving the condition given. I had to take some help in the very first condition because I don't know what to do and how to do however I solved the other questions by my own (I also committed some silly calculation mistakes however with much practice I am confident I will be able to avoid them). Many people have also suggested me that I am progressing really slow that by the time I will complete the syllabus AI/ML would have become really advanced (or outdated). Which I agree to some extent my progress has not been that rapid like everyone else (maybe because I enjoy my learning process?). I have considered such feedback and that's when I realise that I really need to modify my learning process so that it won't take me until 2078 or billions of year to learn AI/ML lol. When I was practising the NCERT questions I realised "Well I can do these on paper but how will I do it in python?" therefore I also created a python program to solve the last two problems which I was solving on paper. I first imported NumPy using pip (as it is an external library) and then created two matrix variables which initially contains zero (which will be replaced by the actual generated number). Then I used for loop to generate both rows and columns of the matrix and assign my condition in the variables and then printed the generated matrix (which are similar to my on paper matrix). Also here are my solutions for the problems I was solving. And I have also attached my code and its result at the end please do check it out also. I thank each and every amazing person who has pointed my mistake out and helped me come on my tracks again (please do tell me if I am doing something wrong now also as your amazing suggestions help me a lot to improve). I may not be able to reply your all's comment however I have read every comment and thanks to you all I am on my way to improve and fastrack my learning.
