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, learners will be able to: • Analytically optimize different types of functions commonly used in machine learning using properties of derivatives and gradients • Approximately optimize different types of functions commonly used in machine learning using first-order (gradient descent) and second-order (Newton’s method) iterative methods • Visually interpret differentiation of different types of functions commonly used in machine learning • Perform gradient descent in neural networks with different activation and cost functions 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 Good Course for Beginners that have no knowledge of mathematics but it makes harder when come to Lab. Everything is perfect but Labs are very Difficult to understand

Enjoyed learning calculus from prof. Serrano. I mostly enjoyed the programing exercises, I wish this is how it was taught to us in school. But better late than never.
