A month ago I was in the same place- I would start reading a short blog posting on RNNs/ConvNets/etc., and within 2-3 paragraphs my eyes would glaze over from the math and other foreign terminology. Frustrating. To try and fix this I am "auditing" the Stanford course on ConvNets: http://cs231n.stanford.edu/syllabus.html

I'm about 2/3 done with the homeworks, and I understand this stuff now. I'll never be a data scientist, but I know enough to implement these networks on my own, and to understand blog posts like this. It's a lot of work for one course, much more than I remember from my own undergrad years. I had to revisit Calculus & Linear Algebra too. But if you're genuinely interested in this stuff you can pick it up.

"I had to revisit Calculus & Linear Algebra too" - what resource would you recommend for this? after being a web developer for a couple of years i find myself rusty and unable to find good resources for this. Trying to get into machine learning but i've forgotten most of the math
