Learner Reviews & Feedback for Mathematics for Machine Learning: Multivariate Calculus by Imperial College London
About the Course
very beginning with a refresher on the “rise over run” formulation of a slope, before converting this to the formal definition of the gradient of a
function. We then start to build up a set of tools for making calculus easier and faster. Next, we learn how to calculate vectors that point up hill
on multidimensional surfaces and even put this into action using an interactive game. We take a look at how we can use calculus to build
approximations to functions, as well as helping us to quantify how accurate we should expect those approximations to be. We...

Great course to develop some understanding and intuition about the basic concepts used in optimization. Last 2 weeks were a bit on a lower level of quality then the rest in my opinion but still great.

Excellent course. I completed this course with no prior knowledge of multivariate calculus and was successful nonetheless. It was challenging and extremely interesting, informative, and well designed.

Some complex topics were explained a bit too fast. The course on Linear Algebra was better.

The last module is quite fast and ambiguous, but besides that, everything is perfect.
