📈
Linear Regression
First ML model with scikit-learn
🚢
Classification - Titanic
Binary classification challenge
EDA Visualizations
📅 Day 2: Deep Learning
🔢
Mathematics for Deep Learning
Linear algebra, calculus basics
🔥
Introduction to PyTorch
Tensors, autograd, basic operations
🧠
Deep Learning 1 & 2
Neural networks, backpropagation, training
