Hated Algebra in high school. Then years later got into programming. It's all algebra. Variables, variables everywhere.

Ehh I wouldn't say variables in programming are all that similar to variables in algebra. In a programming language, variables typically are just a name for some data. Whereas in algebra, they are placeholders for unknown values.

Machine Learning is basically a lot of linear algebra, which is mathematically equivalent to solving simultaneous equations.
