I recently wrote an article with the resources on how to start with the mathematics behind deep learning. Loved your article. I'm also in between a transition too 😂. After 6 months of internship it made me realise MAANG is not for me instead I wanna go for a research career

Good luck on your journey!

Really appreciate the way you laid out all the plans and the current one but I'm curious why do you want to start with calculus. BTW Professor Leonard calculus is awesome
