Math Skills for ML?

Question

I have a BS and MS in CS and at the time I did my MS focus in ML/AI.Fast forward so many years, my career has been focused on distributed systems stuff. I&rsquo;m interested in ML for fun, but pretty far removed. In MS, it was a lot of theory, calculus, proofs, etc. I haven&rsquo;t done deep graduate school math for years.My question is - how much deep math knowledge do I need to build some cool ML stuff these days?

Assuming that Machine Learning is a hype buzzword, you need not a lot. But from my view MathStat is more important than Calculus.
