we recommend that students meet the following prerequisites:Mastery of intro-level algebra. You should be comfortable with variables and coefficients, linear equations, graphs of functions, and histograms

Any book suggestions to getting up to speed in this area?

If you're looking for books, have a look at Schaum's Outline of Precalculus [0]. Khan Academy [1] is also good and there's this MOOC on coursera called Data Science Math Skills [2].

Khan Academy probably has this covered.

A shame Google doesn’t just link to the Khan Academy course.

I always liked the Saxon books[1], since they involved so much spaced repetition if you did the problem sets that it beat the symbolic manipulation into your long-term memory.
