📂 Phase 0 — Overview

The starting point of the entire journey. This phase gives you:

• A bird's-eye view of what Machine Learning is
• How the phases connect to each other
• What tools and libraries you'll use throughout the course
• Setting up your development environment (Python, Jupyter, VS Code)

💡 Don't skip this. Understanding the full map before starting prevents confusion later.

---

📂 Phase 1 — Foundations: Python Basics

15 lessons building your complete Python and data science toolkit.

Python Core (Lessons 1–7)

• Variables, data types, operators
• Control flow — loops, conditionals
• Functions, scope, return values
• Data structures — lists, dicts, sets, tuples
• Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)
• Error handling and debugging
• Comprehensive review

NumPy (Lessons 8–9)

• Array creation and operations
• Indexing, slicing, broadcasting

Pandas (Lessons 10–12)

• Series and DataFrames
• Data cleaning and missing values
• GroupBy, merge, pivot tables

Visualization (Lesson 13)

• Matplotlib and Seaborn
• Line, bar, scatter, histogram, heatmap

File Handling & Modules (Lessons 14–15)

• Reading/writing files (CSV, JSON, TXT)
• Importing and creating Python modules

📂 Phase 2 — Machine Learning Basics

Two sub-sections covering theory and practice.

Introduction to ML (6 Topics)

Topic	Key Concepts
Types of ML	Supervised, Unsupervised, Reinforcement Learning
Batch vs Online Learning	Offline training vs incremental updates
Online Learning	Mini-batches, learning rate, concept drift
Instance vs Model-Based	KNN-style memory vs learned models
Challenges in ML	Overfitting, underfitting, bias, data quality
ML Development Life Cycle	Problem → Data → Train → Evaluate → Deploy

Practical ML (3 Topics)

Topic	Key Concepts
Tensors	Scalars, vectors, matrices, batches; PyTorch/TensorFlow basics
Toy Project	End-to-end mini ML project (Iris / Titanic / MNIST)
Framing an ML Problem	Defining tasks, metrics, constraints, and data needs
