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.

The course is really nice! I enjoyed it! One thing I may recommend from my side is to add more explanation videos for week 4 (the one with eigenvectors and eigenvalues). Understanding the topics involved and their real-life application is far from intuitive. And completing the quizzes/labs was more difficult than for other weeks

The course started from the very basics so it was really easy to follow along . The content was structured into very short videos and quizzes therefore its very convenient to follow with a busy schedule. Finally, I would recommend this for anyone interested in machine learning with the self paced environment its perfect.

Although I prefer rigorous mathematics, I still find this course amazing at demonstrating the application of linear algebra in machine learning. As for me, the most exciting part of the course is the principal component analysis - It is awesome to see an application of the principal axis theorem for the first time.

Apart from Python Assignments (Week 3 and 4 are very difficult), This course is really a Friendly introduction to Linear Algebra, which gives a basic and concrete understanding of how linear Algebra is used in Machine Learning. This basically helps the learner how to interpret the data in the form of Math.

This was basically a revision for me, but I really enjoyed the course, especially the way Mr. Luis Serrano is approaching and visualising the concepts. It's also nice to always relate each concept to real-world application. Learning Maths this way is much more funny and easy to understand.

Perfect pace and level of difficulty. Coding assignments are really well structured. Material shared is easy to be used as a reference in future. Time was well spent in refreshing my linear algebra knowledge and learning about how to use NumPy to handle linear algebra.

Amazing course. Learnt a lot. All thanks to the Coursera for providing me with Financial Aid which allowed me to have full access to this course and have some real world experience of Machine Learning through the Labs. I look forward to continue with Calculus for ML.

One should enroll in this course to explore the fundamentals and practical applications of Linear Algebra, even if you received a good grade in college but never learned it. I never expected to learn Linear Algebra the way Luis Serrano teaches it in this course.
