Personally, I found it took me much longer. I watched Karpathy's lectures, took notes and stewed upon the ideas, and read a bunch of other materials such as blog posts and research papers to try and truly comprehend some of the concepts mentioned in the course.

I found myself knowing how to create CNN's, but the why of the entire process still feels under-developed. But I'll admit it could be because my understanding of Calc and Linear Algebra was far more under-developed back when I was studying the course than it is now.

What did you read/do to develop your calc and linear algebra skills? I feel like I know calc and linear algebra fairly well on paper, but I'm unsure how to translate that to the computer.
