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.

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

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.

Section on Eigenvalues is terrible. Makes zero sense. You never once even mention the word "eigenbasis" in the curiculum and now it's on the quiz. "contrust the eigenbasis". WTF is "contrust"? What am I paying you for if not to explain these things. "Google it." is a lazy answer. I'm taking these courses so I can build an AI education platform that makes you obsolete.

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. :(

Sin ninguna duda aprenderás más en youtube, que aquí. Lo unico que puedo decir es que cada día que pasa me arrepiento de haber tomado este curso, pensé que sería distinto. Los laboratorios son lo peor, solo es texto y nada más. Incluso puedo decir que existen mejores cursos que te explican el área matemática junto con la programación a la par, en cambio aquí la toman por separado, deficiente... No lo recomiendo por ninguna manera. Mejor anda a youtube y encontraras mejores cosas

The course is too basic and too shallow. Usually, I am thinking that explaining things in a simpler way is better. Though the course completely ignores academic abstractions therefore I cannot recommend it for people without math background. As a refresher was not that bad.

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

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.
