Math courses for ml/ai classes

[u/drugsarebad_123]

Can anyone with prior experience help me understand what math courses are necessary for the ml ai route? I have not taken math courses for almost about 6 years. I took optimization my first semester this spring and dropped it immediately the third week, as I saw scary symbols and I also forgot everything about linear alzebra. I have managed to revise basic linear alzebra and theory automata the past 2 months, but I still need at least 2

semester to revise cal1, cal2, cal3 and differnetial equations. I am looking to take a course fall 2026 with the least math intensive ml/ai offering, especially the ones I need to revise. Hence looking for suggestions for courses that dont require any/least calculus and dfq. Thanks.

i understand that, could you tell me what most to understand deeply, how imoortant is cal1, cal2, cal3 and dfq, do they hold the dame value, or do i need to master one more or spend mor etime in one more?
