About Mathematics for Data Science 1

Maths 1 is the foundation the statistics and machine learning courses are built on. It moves quickly from sets and functions into single-variable calculus and then into graph theory, which feels like a different subject entirely but shares the same habits of proof and notation.

Topics covered

  • Sets, relations and functions
  • Sequences and series
  • Limits and continuity
  • Differentiation and its applications
  • Integration
  • Graph theory: paths, trees and traversal

Where marks go: Notation is where most marks are lost: a correct idea written in the wrong notation reads as a wrong answer, and the graph theory section punishes guessing.

How to use these Maths 1 DS notes

  1. 1Read with the official Maths 1 DS course material open beside you. These notes are a second explanation, not a replacement — where they skip something, the course content is the authority.
  2. 2Work the examples yourself rather than reading the solutions. Notes you have only read feel familiar in the exam without being usable.
  3. 3Keep one condensed set for the final days before a quiz, and do not try to re-read everything.
