About the Course

Are you interested in Data Science but lack the math background for it? Has math always been a tough subject that you tend to avoid? This course will teach you the most fundamental Calculus concepts that you will need for a career in Data Science without a ton of unnecessary proofs and techniques that you may never use. Consider this an expressway to Data Science with approachable methods and friendly concepts that will guide you to truly understanding the most important ideas in Differential Calculus. We will review some algebra basics, talk about what a derivative is, compute some simple derivatives and apply the basics of derivatives to graphing and maximizing functions. This course is designed to prepare learners to successfully complete Statistical Modeling for Data Science Application, which is part of CU Boulder's Master of Science in Data Science (MS-DS) program.

Giving a 5 star review because of the videos that were produced, they really taught in a consise manner. However, I think that the Calculus section could have had more videos and more examples.

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!

Excellent course. I would recommend that the videos spend an additional minute preparing the student for the upcoming quiz by virtue of a pertinent example that incorporates the algebra, etc. that the quizzes require. The videos as they are do not cover all of the techniques required to complete the quiz. Also, it might be worth it after taking the quiz, to show step by step how the course solves a problem for any problem the student gets correct, so as to compare the approaches used.

A good, quick review of some fundamental but important principles of algebra and differential calculus. I would not recommend this course to someone who wants to learn these subjects and has not studied the subjects before. If you've studied them before, though, the course does a good job of helping you recall some key points.

Nice refresher covering enough topics to remind me of some additional theory which I could look up. Be careful with the camera zoom though :-) But that has probably been mentioned a multitude of times by now. Thanks for providing this course!

The videos could be centered better. Having access to notes or downloadable slides could also be helpful as future references.
