The theorem that most YouTube ML tutorials get wrong
Learn Stone–Weierstrass the way it was meant to be taught.
We are delighted to announce that production of our Real Analysis Module II course is now complete. The course will be released this Wednesday on the QF Academy e-learning platform as a fully self-paced foundational course.
You can download the syllabus here and watch a six-minute preview of one of the lectures below covering the Stone–Weierstrass Theorem, a cornerstone of mathematics with wide-ranging applications, including machine learning. Many machine learning tutorials on YouTube attempt to cover this topic, but they often lack the rigour and precision required for genuine understanding. They tend to rely on oversimplification and surface-level examples that miss the true depth of the theorem. Our course, by contrast, provides the essential foundations and context you need to grasp it in full depth.
Premium Substack subscribers will get access to the full lecture preview and problem sheets on Wednesday.
If you’d prefer to audit the course without committing to our platform, a paid Substack subscription (from $5/month) is a great option to access lecture videos and problem sets. Please note that quizzes and solution evaluations are only available through the QF Academy e-learning platform.
Many thanks,
QF Academy team
