Whom do you think Mathematics for Machine Learning benefits? In my personal opinion the only audience for a plethora of courses and articles available in that regard is useful mostly to the people that recently went through college level Linear Algebra.

I'd like more resources geared for people that are done with Khan Academy and want something as well made for more advanced topics.

The Mathematics for Machine Learning course doesn't assume knowledge of Linear Algebra, but covers the basics of Linear Algebra you'll need along with the basics of Multivariable Calculus, Statistics, Probability, etc. it does however, assume knowledge of high-school math and Single Variable Calculus. If you've been out of school for while, our adaptive diagnostic exam will identify your knowledge gaps and create a custom course for you that includes the necessary remediation.

If you're REALLY rusty (maybe you've been out of school for a while 5+ years), or maybe you just never learned the material that well in the first place, then you might want to start with one of our Mathematical Foundations courses that will scaffold you up to the level where you can handle the content in Mathematics for Machine Learning.

The Mathematics for Machine Learning course would be ideal for anyone who majored in a STEM subject like CS (or at least has a solid mathematical foundation) and is interested in doing work in machine learning.

Appreciate the reply, hopefully subscribing to your service beginning of next year (after I am done with Khan Academy math).
