it's vector calculus and linear algebra all the way down

the rest is figuring out how to approximate approximations to statistically mostly correct estimators of models that are vaguely inspired by hilariously simple neuroscience garbage

yeah. math is hard. that's why the classes are like 20 weeks long each

and reading doesn't really do poo poo for really understanding and being able to apply that stuff. you've got to actually do some exercises and whatnot. otherwise you're just going to be spending all your time being all "why are we doing this eigendecomposition thing here?" instead of "oh yeah if the eigenvalues are > 1 then iterations are obviously gonna diverge. duh"
