Should You Take Data Science Classes for Quant Finance?

Should you take a data science or machine learning course if you intend on working in quantitative finance? Yes! But there is something to be aware of. I would recommend taking a probability and statistics course before you take any machine learning or data science. The foundation of machine learning is traditional statistics (ML is just a sub area of statistics). By taking some basic statistics and probability courses you'll better understand what problems you are trying to solve and the weaknesses of the different methods.
