Course Overview

The Mathematics for Machine Learning: Multivariate Calculus course provides a brief introduction to multivariate calculus which is necessary for constructing several popular techniques for machine learning. The aim of the course is to provide an intuitive understanding of calculus, as well as the language required to look up concepts when candidates get lost. Candidates can still come away with the courage to dive into some more oriented machine learning courses in the future without going into too much detail. 

The Mathematics for Machine Learning: Multivariate Calculus course is the second one of the 3 courses in mathematics for machine learning specialisation. The goal of this specialisation is to bridge the gap then bring candidates up to speed in the underlying mathematics, develop an intuitive understanding, and relate it to data science and machine learning. The specialisation is pointed at what linear algebra is and how it applies to data in the first course on Linear Algebra. It will then draw attention to what exactly are matrices and vectors and how one can operate them.

Eligibility Criteria

Certification Qualifying Details

For getting certified for the Mathematics for Machine Learning: Multivariate Calculus course candidates should complete the whole 6 weeks of training. If a candidate is enrolled for free auditing he/she will not get a certificate of completion. Only candidates who subscribed by paying the fee will be awarded a certificate.

What you will learn

Mathematical skill

After the completion of the Mathematics for Machine Learning: Multivariate Calculus course candidates will learn these:

  • Candidates will gain skills like linear regression, multivariable calculus, vector calculus, and gradient descent. 
  • Candidates will learn and gain exposure to problem-solving skills. 
  • This will make the candidate prepare for real-life challenges and complexities faced in a business environment
