About the Course

Newly updated for 2024! Mathematics for Machine Learning and Data Science is a foundational online program created by DeepLearning.AI and taught by Luis Serrano. In machine learning, you apply math concepts through programming. And so, in this specialization, you’ll apply the math concepts you learn using Python programming in hands-on lab exercises. As a learner in this program, you'll need basic to intermediate Python programming skills to be successful. After completing this course, you will be able to: • Represent data as vectors and matrices and identify their properties using concepts of singularity, rank, and linear independence, etc. • Apply common vector and matrix algebra operations like dot product, inverse, and determinants • Express certain types of matrix operations as linear transformations • Apply concepts of eigenvalues and eigenvectors to machine learning problems Many machine learning engineers and data scientists need help with mathematics, and even experienced practitioners can feel held back by a lack of math skills. This Specialization uses innovative pedagogy in mathematics to help you learn quickly and intuitively, with courses that use easy-to-follow visualizations to help you see how the math behind machine learning actually works.  We recommend you have a high school level of mathematics (functions, basic algebra) and familiarity with programming (data structures, loops, functions, conditional statements, debugging). Assignments and labs are written in Python but the course introduces all the machine learning libraries you’ll use....

Very visual and application oriented and gives the context for machine learning and where linAL is applied in PCA and neural networks. The structure is really byte sized and fun to work with.

Not enough explanation when it came to eigenvectors/values/spaces. The first 3 weeks were very explanatory but for this being a beginner course I think longer videos with more explanation would be better.

The videos are easy to understand and really good. But I didn't like the graded assignments, they were hard to understand and sometimes there wasn't enough explanation.

In part brilliant, in part very bad. Some of the videos are too short and programming assignments are sometimes hard. A few videos on python and numpy will help.

To be honest the videos are too plain and boring too watch I think the videos should be more enjoyable and give a more understandable examples

Gives a very good understanding right uptil week 4, but then Eigenvalues and Eigenbasis could be better explained.

Very basic fundamentals could have done more. But overall a good course to gain insight into the topic

eigen vector and eigen values part is not explained briefly other than that course is just amazing.

I had to fix so many issues with indentation, a broken jupyter notebook, broken test files. Don't waste your time. And to force people into PAYING for a certification earned DURING A & DAY TRIAL is just shitty man. Seriously, go to hell. Why would I pay for a course that constantly broke, and spent 3 hours fixing? That's so beyond greedy and money ahead of education that it isn't even funny. Assholes.

This course was not helpful to me. I didn't really understand what I was achieving in the last lab and although I passed all the quizzes, I found myself going to external resources constantly for answers. It's this weird mix of overly simplified metaphors and then slides that truncate the mathematical steps they show which left me at least having to pause it and figure out what happened. IDK.

The intuition (for ML & DS) was not established; the explanations were often thin; maybe drop the "for ML and DS" part off the description?

Not possible without knowing Python 3 already. Also doesn't really talk about ML so I don't know how any of this is applicable to ML.

Los laboratorios de python son complejos para una persona que recien empeza a programar, un ejemplo de eso se ve en la tara C1W2

Completed all the way up through the last assignment in week 3 with 100% on all assignments and quizzes. Completed all but the very last question in the programming assignment with matching "Expected Output" and "All Tests Passed" , and pasted the "#grade-up-to-here into the cell second to last cell. I have submitted many times, receiving anywhere from 0-50%. Have emailed support, and never even received a generic response that it was received. Very frustrated and tempted to leave Coursera forever. :(

this course is not well structured for beginners, it is not taught well with details. the instructor goes over the concepts in short manner, then quiz you and also quiz you in python numpy library, the order of topics is not correct in my opinion

Graded quizes have questions that do not explain what format the answers should be in. ZERO support from Coursera when needed. So disappointed with this course thus far. Hopefully, it gets better as I go on.

Very poor explanation. The tutor more practises tongue twisters, than actually explains anything. You'll definitely need other sources of information to understand the topic.
