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.

This was a very succinct and comprehensive course and at times I felt a bit fast paced and consequently the assignments harder to solve

Good course. Clarity of content in the last two weeks (i.e. weeks 5 and 6) can be improved. Overall a fantastic learning experience.

Great overall, but some of the teaching falls short of clarity, too much hand waving, and programming exercises can be obtuse.

This is a nice course for beginners, as it relies on intuition for the explanation. Also, this has very interesting exercises.

it is pretty good for week1 to week4, but week5 and week6 are too complicated, I think the course should explain more details.

Can be hard in some parts. But it's not instructors fault as they had to put a lot of material into relatively short course

Interestin to refresh notions you already learned. Probably a bit difficult if you're totally new to multivariate calculus

Pretty good course, very inspiring. The quality drops in last two weeks; need to refer Khan's videos for further clarity.

Sometimes I need more explanation, I needed to find another resources to clarify what I haven't understood at that time.

I think I've improve my understanding of mathematics for ML, mainly, I've understand much better the concepts involved

More focus on concrete data centric machine learning instead of abstract function definitions would have been helpful

more on optimization techniques like in-depth concepts of gradient descent would have helped, rest was great

It seems that the lecture is not quite closely connected with the quiz, which may bring great confusion.
