Introductory mathematics in R and Python

This repository contains a series of tutorials designed to help R users explore introductory mathematical concepts.

Aim:

The aim of this repository is to provide resources to help R users who are interested in practicing machine learning but do not come from a mathematics background/ have forgotten all their specialist mathematics knowledge (i.e. designed to help someone like me).

This repository also has a secondary aim of promoting code agnostic practices, by highlighting how the same functions can be performed in both R and Python.

Authors:

Dr Erika Duan (all code and notes)
Dr Chuanxin Liu (for fixing my occasional coding bugs)
