This paper focuses on the mathematical underpinnings of the “Machine Learning” course, systematically exploring the critical role of mathematical theories in machine learning and their value in practical applications. The research centers on core mathematical topics, such as linear algebra, probability theory, optimization theory, and calculus, delving into their specific applications in machine learning algorithm design, model optimization, and performance evaluation. Based on a “problem-driven” and “case-based teaching” approach, this study proposes a methodological framework that deeply integrates mathematical theory with machine learning practice, and its effectiveness is validated through typical application scenarios. The results demonstrate that strengthening mathematical foundations, optimizing theoretical instruction, and emphasizing practical applications can significantly enhance the performance of machine learning algorithms and their applicability to real-world problems. This research not only provides new perspectives for the theoretical development of machine learning but also offers theoretical support and practical guidance for the application of related technologies.
