I i want to learn the basic-intermediate maths needed for machine learning understanding. Is the like a good course for maths as we have this ML specialization course which is widely appreciated.

Hi @Subhan75,

You can take Math for ML and DL Specialization. It’s a nice series of courses for everyone who didn’t take Linear Algebra, Calculus and Probability & Stats courses at college or got rusty on these topics.

Just so you know what to expect: The Math for Machine Learning courses spend a lot of time on topics that are quite interesting mathematics, but don’t have much applicability to machine learning.

I know @TMosh’s opinion on this which I respect. I’d been trying to follow Imperial College London’s equivalent course (on Coursera).

To the best of my understanding I find it highly relevant-- yet this may consist of having ‘looked forward’, and then back again a bit. A sort of ‘when I was learning this wouldn’t it be wonderful to have this in my tool kit’ kind of approach.
