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....

Extraordinary course. With clear explanations and animation video. I learned Probability and statistics before but forgot a lot. This course helps me reinforce my knowledge about this subject as well.

It is really way below level of the expected. It is totally a disappointment for me. I hope they design whole specialization from start. I am bored. I will not tell the necessary things to improve course anymore. The bad side is they will belive that their course is well because of the 4.6 rating but i believe this spec does not reflect the level of deeplearning.ai. I hope they realize it.

I enjoyed taking this course. The material was carefully crafted, and the labs and assignments were beneficial. If you are familiar with probability and statistics, you can easily navigate this course. However, if this subject is new, you may need to consult a reference book to complement the video lectures with book readings and exercises. In this case, the time to conclude the course may need to be extended (i.e., you must set your goals accordingly.) Overall, I am delighted with the course, and I want to congratulate the instructor and his supporting team for offering us this course.

This course on Coursera exceeded my expectations. The 'Probability and Statistics for Machine Learning and Data Science' course is both thorough and accessible, making it perfect for learners at various stages. The interactive elements and hands-on projects enhance the learning experience, making the theoretical knowledge applicable to real-world problems. The instructors break down difficult topics into manageable sections, and the course structure is well thought out. I feel much more prepared to tackle machine learning challenges after completing this course.

I took this to help prepare for my master's courses in ML, and I have to say, this helped me a lot. I was really surprised at the level of overlap from my master's courses and the content in this course. I think it did a really nice job explaining the notations, which I think is one of the biggest hurdles as to understanding statistics. I am very satisifed after taking this, and the items I learned in this course absolutely have application for the rest of my degree.

Excellent course with detailed training videos, illustrations & labs. Good mix of mathematical concepts with Python code. Would highly recommend for a mathematical student to start with Machine learning. Special thanks to Louis (instructor) for the design & presentation of the course.

Super course. Very detailed and easily understandable. But not for beginners. The best advantage is that, this course is an one part of entire course which has three parts in total(another courses). This can complete your math skills in ML and DS.

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
