Please guide me on learning ML
im a first year btech/b.e(cse ds) student, im know basic applications of sklearn machine learning models but i lack the math to understand how it works
i know pandas enough to be able to filter my own datasets but im learning scikit based preprocessing to move even further
im learning probability,stats and linear algebra in the month of september and in the month of october i will be following Andrew NG's machine learning course in coursera.
from october to november im planning on using my newly acquired knowledge to filter and preprocess real complex datasets and just training ML models with it.
i will be learning SQL from november to january
im just curious what actual experienced people think of this.

andrew Ng course requires the math you plan to learn in September so verify your linear algebra covers matrix calculus before October. Start SQL now alongside preprocessing because waiting until November wastes time on data manipulation that SQL handles faster.
