Msc in AI. Math background worries

Hi everyone,

i got an offer in AI.

I graduated with a bachelor in electronics engineering 5 years ago.
Being away from classes for that long (math wise) and the fact that i have a bachelor that is not in AI (AI related courses wise) makes me worry a bit.

I can study all day long, no problem there. Will it be enough to catch up?
I also have about 8 months to refresh my skills till the beginning of the Msc.

Any thoughts / experiences would be greatly appreciated.

I would think there would have been (much) more maths in EE than you will do in an AI MSc. Perhaps get some of the recommended course books in advance and see how they go.

And maybe this will help?

Hi Jneill,

thanks for the pdf it looks a good way to start.
I have also thought of the recommended books but i also wanted to hear any experiences or suggestions whether the daily study is sufficient or not.

So any thoughts on that?
Nobody studied in a different field than their bachelor to tell me if daily studying is enough?
In different studies than mine is good too
