About the Course

Newly updated for 2024! After completing this course, learners 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 Mathematics for Machine Learning and Data science is a foundational online program created in by DeepLearning.AI and taught by Luis Serrano. This beginner-friendly program is where you’ll master the fundamental mathematics toolkit of machine learning. 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 plugins and visualizations to help you see how the math behind machine learning actually works. Upon completion, you’ll understand the mathematics behind all the most common algorithms and data analysis techniques — plus the know-how to incorporate them into your machine learning career. This is a beginner-friendly program, with a recommended background of at least high school mathematics (functions, basic algebra). We also recommend a basic familiarity with Python (loops, functions, if/else statements, lists/dictionaries, importing libraries), as labs use Python and Jupyter Notebooks to demonstrate learning objectives in the environment where they’re most applicable to machine learning and data science. If you are already familiar with the concepts of linear algebra, Course 1 will provide a good review, or you can choose to take Course 2: Calculus for Machine Learning and Data Science and Course 3: Probability and Statistics for Machine Learning and Data Science, of this specialization....

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.

A very good course for any beginner, gives you a good overview of the essential concepts with profound practice. I would recommend to add more content on how a particular concept is used in ML. Eigen vector section can be improved. Overall, perfect to learn Linear Algebra for Machine Learning and Data Science.

I enjoyed the course, but felt the last lectures on eigenvalues, etc. could have been expanded on a bit. The coding lab had some good exercises, but the instructions on pagerank application exercise were confusing: it seemed like there were constraints on the values for the P matrix beyond those specified.

It is expected that you will be doing a lot of research or already have linear algebra knowledge and want to refresh your memory or do some programming-oriented algebra. Since I am studying linear algebra for the first time, I intend to take another course to enhance my knowledge of the subject

It is really good introductory course, refreshes all your basics of linear algebra. I had to unlearn some of prejudices in order to understand the concepts clearly. I expected a little more deep dive like Markov matrices applications, being said that it is really helpful.

Course material was interesting and most of it was easy to follow. The section on Eigenvectors and Eigenvalues could have been much better explained. The examples skipped steps, and could have been more thorough. I had to do a lot of reading on my own.

The teaching is very good, assignments and labs helped me to gain more information and practice. But, some of the lectures could have been taught better in more simple terms and with some more good examples. Overall I had enjoyed learning with this course!

Course is good, but it is not for beginner for sure as you must need prior at least intermediate level experience. If you are starting fresh and do not remember linear algebra from schooling i would suggest not to take this course before reading about it.

A good course that explains the concepts of linear algebra in an understandable manner. There were certain modules that I had some trouble understanding but pairing this course up with some research of my own and 3b1b's youtube playlist was very helpful.

The course was absolutely rewarding , Mr Serrano explained and covered it well.

But I noticed there were a few details that he forgot to mention that I went searching for on google.

Otherwise,I really liked this course and I actually learnt many things!!

The videos and theory are great, very edible for a beginner. I can not say the same for the programming modules that I found confusing. I often used other resources to understand the concepts and solve the problems. However, I recommend this course.

The only issue I has was that I am not a super experienced coder and sometimes I got stuck with simple parts in the workbook. More resources to help with the coding aspect would be nice but overall I learned a lot. Even though the struggling bits.

The course was excellent in terms of teaching, practice quizes and Assignment Quiz.

The only problem is the programming assignment where some of the application oriented concepts are not familiar to me and don't know how exactly few codes worked.

Excellent course for introduction to Linear Algebra. However, the important part which is Eigen vectors, was not very well explained, and should have had given more time in my opinion which would have developed better understanding about it

I like this course because of the high quality in teaching linear algebra and Numpy to solve some problem . Also I learned Matrix as well as and I'm glad to participating in Linear Algebra for Machine Learning and Data Science course .

There are some errors on prompts and notebooks that made it difficult to understand some topics (until I get that the error was not being made by me). But in general, it was an excellent experience for me.

I am grateful for this course. However, IMHO, eigenvalues and eigenvectors could be explained in a more clear way. I would consider revising the last two pieces of video and recording them again.

it's was a great experience and the explanation was easy to understand. I want to thank everyone who works on this course. but I have an suggestion that labs supported with visual content like videos

Some stuff left unclear & issues in some notebooks, otherwise great, I appreciated all the graphs explanations that made the course more understandable than when I had learned it at school

A bit more detail into the complex topics of eigen values and eigen vectors would have been helpful. Also notebooks could have been oriented more towards the practical use of the concepts.

I enjoyed the course very much but I found that week 4, especially the Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors explanation were not complete. This section can be definitely improved.

Well explained and well paced. I had more trouble at the end with the Eigenvectors series. Since I had no prior programming, I did not do well with the Python labs.

Great course with easy to understand material but it doesn't have any videos in programming lab section and is confusing in some parts in the beforementioned labs.

I face some difficulty at the python part, since I have a tiny knoladeg at that part other than this every thing was really good! I enjoyed the course.

Opened my eyes about the concepts i've learned in my UG studies...which i've been wondering how to implement practically, especially in ML and DS : )

It's a great course with professional professors but there is one problem i hoped they made lab lessons videos but overall I loved it.
