I was never interested in neural networks and ML. Nevertheless, when I saw an advertisement about Alexander Pevzner's course, I suddenly felt desire to get in touch with this area. I "interrogated" Alexander a lot before registration, because I had many doubts. What if my interest would disappear and I would leave the course?
However, everything was good. The first few lessons, my brain was surprised, woke up and remembered the course of mathematics on the matrices and derivatives. Then, I got involved. Now, I firmly plan to continue studying at the next level of Alexander's courses.
