I think Math for ML is __fantastic__. And based on the curriculum Jason has published for ML, it seems very __very__ promising. I've done a fair bit of ML @ Cornell, so I've had exposure to …

MathAcademy really is fantastic. I've done 5300 xp so far (80+ hours), and am almost finished with their Math for Machine Learning. It's remediated a lot of things I've struggled with d…

From personal experience in Gauntlet, I've learned nothing from the actual program. However, I am an Ivy League CS alum. And there are several peers from my Uni in the program. Also, many of the …
