Machine Learning using C for Linear and Logistic Regression

The applications of machine learning transcend boundaries and industries so why should we let tools and languages hold us back? Yes, Python is the language of choice in the industry right now but a lot of us come from a background where Python isn't taught! The computer science faculty in universities are still teaching programming in C – so that's what most of us end up learning first. I understand why you should learn Python – it's the primary language in the industry and it has all the libraries you need to get started with machine learning. But what if your university doesn't teach it?
