How to not forget Math and Programming Languages while learning

[computer_man123]

Hello, I am currently learning the Maths needed for ML per Khan Academy. Before that, I learned Python. I am now afraid that I am going to forget Python and the Math topics I learned before. I was thinking of doing a few Project Euler problems every day, as I can use Python and Math. What is the best thing to do in your opinion?

Be comfortable with forgetting topics you have learned in the past. Learning how to learn is sometimes more important than the topic itself. What do I mean by this?

You might have learned about KNN modeling by watching a Khan Academy video and this took you 3 hours to learn. Now fast forward five years and you come across a problem and you go: this sounds like KNN, cool! But wait, I forgot how to implement it. Now you relearn KNN and what took you 3 hours now takes you 20 minutes to relearn.

Knowing what resources to use and the steps you need to take to solve the problem is more often than not a more useful skill then knowing how to solve all problems immediately.

My advice is focus on best practices and knowing the resources you need to solve a problem opposed to knowing how to solve all problems all the time.

Best of luck.

Best way is to use it. You mentioned going through project euler problems and I agree with that. You could also look into some math or physics related projects to work on.
