Machine learning free crash course by google

In this machine learning course by google you have not required  any prior knowledge of machine learning.

You need some Basic mathematical algebra concepts, Tensor flow basics and some basic knowledge of Python programming which is I describe below which help you learning better about machine learning.

I am sure this course will help you learning about machine learning fundamental which increase your interest in machine learning.

What is tensor flow?

Tensor flow is open source library for data flow programming across a range of tasks. It is symbolic math library and is also used for machine learning application such as neural networks.

It is used by google and released under Apache 2.0 open source license.

for knowing about it or use it you can visit its official site https://www.tensorflow.org/.
