# Overview

## Introduction

Machine learning and deep learning approaches have been fundamental to many groundbreaking insights into biomedicine. The point of this section is to get you familiar with fundamental concepts underlying many powerful algorithms -- basically, you're getting some crash courses. This section is by no means comprehensive and you're expected to  proactively seek other external resources to get more intuition on this stuff. But don't worry, we'll share a few potentially helpful resources in the following sections. 

**Note that this is a really challenging domain, so definitely don't beat yourself up if you don't get it the first (few) times. Have fun learning!** [🙂](https://emojipedia.org/slightly-smiling-face/)
