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: • Describe and quantify the uncertainty inherent in predictions made by machine learning models, using the concepts of probability, random variables, and probability distributions. • Visually and intuitively understand the properties of commonly used probability distributions in machine learning and data science like Bernoulli, Binomial, and Gaussian distributions • Apply common statistical methods like maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) and maximum a priori estimation (MAP) to machine learning problems • Assess the performance of machine learning models using interval estimates and margin of errors • Apply concepts of statistical hypothesis testing to commonly used tests in data science like AB testing • Perform Exploratory Data Analysis on a dataset to find, validate, and quantify patterns. 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....

Thanks DeepLearning.AI for creating this specialization. I went from the guy that everytime i hear the word 'math i'd freakout to 'math is my lover'. Once again thank you for everything

I really enjoy this course, lern a lot of things, the content is very helpful and the quality of the video is good and the novel here, are the of the professor's examples to illustrate the concepts, however I would like to do a critic review about this course, I have would like to go deep in some concepts or prerequisites like t-student distribution, central limit theorem, law of large numbers , beta distribution and dirichelt distribution, I consider very important concept for the course thanks you very much, Profe Luis Serrano

Indepth and apt knwoledge about probability and statistics and their use-case in real life situations such as using confidence intervals which help you to understand the variablility, precision and reliability of your estimates. Also it has hypothesis testing that allows to verify your hypothesis based on data. Overall a very good course.

Very thorough and easy to comprehend approach to learning statistical and probability theory which is important foundational knowledge, not just in ML but any field of data analytics!

I think graded quiz was good, but the programming assignments could be made more challenging to have a good understanding of python and math simultaneously.

Cannot finish this course, as my Python skills are lacking - yet, the course was advertised as for "beginners". I tried to submit my first programming assignment about 30 times, no success. Very disappointed.

My week 1 assignment is running perfectly fine, but when submitted for grading, it is showing error that the CSV file is not found. I have the following questions: 1. I can see the CSV file, so why is it not loading. 2. If it is not present, how come sections 2 & 3 are successful 3. Why only sections 1 & 4 are issues? 4. I have submitted a ticket for it, but still no response. Kindly check and let me know.
