# Intros 

I don't mean to waste anyone's time with formalities, so the information shared here will simply be related to learning! No other personal info required.

The point of providing intros for the study group is **to identify our strengths and weaknesses.** 

For example, people with math backgrounds might be super comfortable with helping others with the math demanded from us in AI, while people with data science backgrounds might be comfortable with teaching us some things about NumPy, etc! 

Any and all knowledge sharing is highly encouraged, even if it may not seem relevant to AI at first. 

Those of us who are experts in one area might even be comfortable enough to give a quick presentation on a topic or offer help in other ways too! 

Template for the intro can be copy and pasted from here:
