About this course
In this unit, we will learn about the fundamentals of differential calculus and why they are important for data science. First, we will analyze functions using the concepts of limits and derivatives. After a conceptual understanding of these concepts, we will learn how to calculate derivatives using the NumPy library and assess our skills with a quiz and project.
