+  - [1.2. *Resources:*](#12-resources)
+
+# 1. Getting started
+
+## 1.1. **Prerequesties**
+### 1.1.1. **Mathematics Fundamentals:**
+- Algebra
+  - Variables, coefficients, and functions
+  - Linear equations
+  - Logarithms
+  - Sigmoid function
+
+- Linear Algebra
+  - tensor and tensor rank
+  - matrix multiplication
+
+- Trigonometry
+  - tanh (discussed as an activation function; no prior knowledge needed)
+
+- Statistics
+  - mean, median, outliers, and standard deviation
+  - ability to read a histogram
+
+- Calculus *(Optional, for advanced topics)*
+  - concept of a derivative (you won't have to actually calculate derivatives)
+  - gradient or slope
+  - partial derivatives (which are closely related to gradients)
+  - chain rule (for a full understanding of the backpropagation algorithm for training neural networks)
+
+### 1.1.2. **Programming with Python and Libraries:**
+- Learn Python and mainly [these things](https://developers.google.com/machine-learning/crash-course/prereqs-and-prework#python-programming)
+- libraries like **NumPy** and **Pandas**.
+
+### 1.1.3. **Machine Learning Algorithms:**
+
+- Understand supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning.
+- Study algorithms such as Linear Regression, Logistic Regression, Clustering, KNN, SVM, Decision Trees, Random Forests.
+- Explore concepts like overfitting, underfitting, regularization, gradient descent, and confusion matrix.
+
+### 1.1.4. **Data Preprocessing:**
+- Handle null values.
+- Standardize data.
+- Deal with categorical values and perform one-hot encoding.
+- Apply feature scaling.
+
+### 1.1.5. **Machine Learning Libraries:**
+- Get familiar with popular libraries like **scikit-learn**, **Matplotlib**, and **TensorFlow**.
+
+### 1.1.6. **Practical Experience:**
+- Participate in Kaggle competitions and practice on real-world datasets.
+- Explore projects on GitHub for learning from others' code.
+
+## 1.2. *Resources:*
+- **Maths:**
+  - Linear Algebra notes by P. J. Cameron ([Link](http://www.maths.qmul.ac.uk/~pjc/notes/linalg.pdf))
+  - Statistics and Probability resource ([Link](https://www.mathsbox.org.uk/twi/astats.pdf))
