Principales reseñas sobre ALGEBRA AND DIFFERENTIAL CALCULUS FOR DATA SCIENCE
Excellent introduction and review for those of us who took these courses some years ago! Really appreciated the clear teaching, which is so important for learrning math.
The lectures are very clear and thorough. I really appreciate the effort and thoughtfulness put into this course.
Excellent course. I never did university calculus, and this was a great way to test my understanding and prompt additional learning as I attempted the quizzes.
Thank you!
Really enjoyed the content and the whole structure of the course. It's been a few decades since I did calc and this was excellent!
