I would actually suggest another set of MIT courses that I think are more relevant:

Linear Algebra http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/mathematics/18-06-linear-algebra-...

Probability and Statistics http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-comput...

and finally

Machine Learning http://courses.csail.mit.edu/6.867/
