Why Math Powers AI — A Tour of the Math Behind GenAI and Agents
FreeTH3PR2PNW3A Data/Business Analyst who can see where math lives inside a model trusts it more and explains it better to stakeholders.
- Tour where math hides in GenAI: vectors in embeddings, probability in next-token predictions, matrices in model weights
- See how an LLM's 'smart' guess is really a calculated probability over tokens
- Set personal math goals for the course
- Sketch a map of one real GenAI product (e.g. a RAG search assistant) and label the math it likely uses
- Spot the math step in a simple embedding-similarity diagram
- Write a short note: which math topic you most want to understand and why
- Micro-task: submit your goal note as a one-page PDF
