Quick question, do you do much machine learning in your current job on complex and large datasets? I find that the people who claim that machine learning is not math heavy are not solving the actual hard ML problems. Ofcourse it will be easy if your problem maps well to some framework, where jamming your data into a model produces useful outputs, but theres plenty of problems where you cant do that, and the second that happens, you need to understand the algorithms. Its similar to using some javascript framework, where you can plug in solutions great, until you need to do something outside the framework.
