Learner Reviews & Feedback for Data Science Math Skills by Duke University
About the Course
successful in almost any data science math course and was created for learners who have basic math skills but may not have taken algebra or
pre-calculus. Data Science Math Skills introduces the core math that data science is built upon, with no extra complexity, introducing unfamiliar
ideas and math symbols one-at-a-time. Learners who complete this course will master the vocabulary, notation, concepts, and algebra rules
that all data scientists must know before moving on to more advanced material. Topics include: ~Set theory, including Venn ...

Hi it is very helpful to me. Concept is properly explained. I enjoyed learning process. Expect some more courses on data science as well as on python which involves real time application.Thanks a lot.

This is neat little course to revise math fundamentals. I generally find learning probability a little tricky. This course helped me a lot in better understanding Bayes Theorem. Thank you professors.

no discussion or ongoing grade at least in the beta course. Generally pretty good, a little slow and simple to start

second lecturer for the Bayes Theorem and Bionomial Theorem was not as easy to understand as the first professor.

The probability section needed more worked examples.
Translating word problems into equations is a hard skill

+ Very well explained.
- Correct answers in the tests are sometimes missing numbers, which can be confusing.
