Gradient Descent Algorithm is a key tool in Data Science used to find the minimum value of a function. You would have come across gradient in Microsoft PowerPoint or Adobe Photoshop when you start your slide or image creation. But what we are talking about here is all mathematical stuff, and to be specific - concepts from calculus.

HaaS
I am not able to get on with my one-blog-post-per-week routine. I have a set of blog posts in various stages of writing, some just being a title to some being almost completed pieces. And I usually upload them on Fridays.
If I missed the Friday mood and deadline, I wait till next Friday to post. But now the gap between posts are increasing. So I thought I will do a small emergency post.
Today is Saturday and on Saturdays the road traffic is a bit lesser than week days. The peak congestion hours in Hyderabad are 10 am - 12 noon and 6:30 p.m. to around 9 p.m. And during these peak hours, a travel that take 30 - 40 minutes ends up taking 1 - 1.5 hours.
