Wellll... A few weeks back I started working on a tutorial for our lab's Code Club on how to make shitty graphs. It was too dispiriting and I balked. A twitter workshop with figures and code:
When are you doing pie charts?

More from Data science
I have always emphasized on the importance of mathematics in machine learning.
Here is a compilation of resources (books, videos & papers) to get you going.
(Note: It's not an exhaustive list but I have carefully curated it based on my experience and observations)
📘 Mathematics for Machine Learning
by Marc Peter Deisenroth, A. Aldo Faisal, and Cheng Soon Ong
https://t.co/zSpp67kJSg
Note: this is probably the place you want to start. Start slowly and work on some examples. Pay close attention to the notation and get comfortable with it.
📘 Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning
by Christopher Bishop
Note: Prior to the book above, this is the book that I used to recommend to get familiar with math-related concepts used in machine learning. A very solid book in my view and it's heavily referenced in academia.
📘 The Elements of Statistical Learning
by Jerome H. Friedman, Robert Tibshirani, and Trevor Hastie
Mote: machine learning deals with data and in turn uncertainty which is what statistics teach. Get comfortable with topics like estimators, statistical significance,...
📘 Probability Theory: The Logic of Science
by E. T. Jaynes
Note: In machine learning, we are interested in building probabilistic models and thus you will come across concepts from probability theory like conditional probability and different probability distributions.
