op: no you don't

if you waited this long for it to be "cool" then you are just chasing a trend and you're not up for the math

maybe what you actually want is to be able to bullshit sufficiently about these topics to put them on your resume?

why? what is your motivation for learning this thing? what if i told you that behind all the fancy math, it is mostly horseshit, and people will move on to the next thing within 5 years or so once all the promises don't pan out?

normally wikipedia math is incomprehensible, but the article for singular value decomposition actually seems pretty good. read that, and by "read" i don't mean read the words and skip over the equations like i always do. you have to go through the equations symbol by symbol and make sure you understand what they're saying. when you see a math term whose definition you don't know, click on the term and read that article too, in the same fashion. if the article is too obtuse, look up the term in your linear algebra textbook instead. note that this process will probably have you (re)learn most of linear algebra, but it sounds like that's exactly what you're asking for, and there isn't really any shortcut to it
