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.

Overall a good course - but there is room for improvement here. At the beginning of the course it was stated that high school algebra was sufficient. But I felt like too many videos were spent on solving simple linear equations - the course assumes the learner should know this. On the other hand the more complex topics like eigenvalues, eigenvectors and eigenbasis were covered in less than 10 minutes! Yes, less than 2 videos for the more challenging parts of the course. Then a fairly difficult quiz for techniques and concepts that were barely touched in the videos. People like me expect a paid course to be more self-contained. I also felt like other videos were rushed. The instructor brings up really interesting geometric properties of the dot product, cosines etc but it is just gone through way too fast, too fast to digest or appreciate it, draw other connections etc. There needs to be more connection to the ML/AI world. How is solving linear systems going to help me in day to day ML practise? If eigenvectors are relevant to PCA, then please make a video about that (the intro doesn't count). Markov matrices are brought up in the final section as a motivating example, but again, we need videos explaining this please! That stuff is interesting and we want to see applications. Now for the "positive" comments. I think Luis is a great teacher overall, and I really liked the way there were visualisations, both in videos and in other sections. Playing around with vectors you could move around was great. The quizzes were mostly good and made you think carefully and practise the concepts. The labs helped see the practical side of the concepts. The course covers good ground.
