Great course to develop some understanding and intuition about the basic concepts used in optimization. Last 2 weeks were a bit on a lower level of quality then the rest in my opinion but still great.

Excellent course. I completed this course with no prior knowledge of multivariate calculus and was successful nonetheless. It was challenging and extremely interesting, informative, and well designed.

The last 2 modules have very promising content, yet the instructor did not do well enough. I found myself totally lost in the confusing explanation of David, although I've already have experience in Multivar Calc and take this course just as a refresher.

David Dye made the whole course much worse. Hard to understand sometimes due to not vocalizing properly, shows graphs without pointing in any way so the explanations are not clear, and then just says "thats pretty neat!" at the end.

Weeks 5 and 6 could be greatly improved in terms of clarity and quality of the explanations. More solved examples would be very helpful and appreciated. On the other hand, weeks 1 to 4 met the expectations and were very ilustrating.

Such a easy course, if you totally a novice in multi-variables calculus, you could take this course, Whereas, if you are familiar with calculus, it will be quite easy for you.
I hope more programming assignment about Machine Learning

the connection seemed poor between weekly targets. it was super easy at first and became very difficult at last, honestly i do not think this is designed for students with no relavant foundations in math or machine learning.

The instructor for this course actually tried to explain the concepts, unlike the other two courses in this specialization. However, no one is available to answer questions.

I feel that the course was too fast paced. I had to constantly refer to many other website like khan academy and 3b1b. The course skipped many details and lacked intuition.

You will get some intuition of mathematics used in Machine Learning as well as there will be less fear in doing ML courses if you would complete this course.

Course would be prefect if there would not be technical issues with opening notebooks. It slows me down by 1 week. But content was really relevant to ML.

Overall average course. Not that much good as expected because of David Dye. He was teaching very poor in this course as compared to course-1.

I think the first teacher is better than the second one. The content by the second teacher can be more clear and go even deeper / analytical!

Last 2 weeks completely diverged. Failed to converge. I wish content was more elaborate.First course of this specialization was far better.

Role of discussion forum is very less. Please improve on that to have healthy participation. Otherwise, course content is really good.

first 4 weeks were good. Starting from week 5 course explanation was bad. Was required to watch other videos.

Lecture videos are quite sparse, and the quizzes test things that they don't teach you in the lecture

A bit fast paced, could be much more beneficial with some added explanations.

The basics is explained so light, that you wonder if it is of any use.
