I would start with the nano degree program if you don't have any prior knowledge of ML.
Udacity has a Linear Algebra review course, but I don't believe it is public for now. I had taken a linear algebra course before I took the GT ML class, but I wasn't a expert by any means. I don't believe you will need a deep understanding of linear algebra before taking this class. Singular value decomposition might come up. I think if you are familiar with everything in the following pdf you should be fine.

If you are motivated, you will do fine. Good luck!

I'm pretty sure they have hired at least one farmer at their Texas site.

This reminds me of Wilson, Arkansas but that town sold for quite a bit more.

I typically hate ranking lists like this, since I believe student completion rates are more important than enrollment. However, I did find some joy in finding a new MOOC I could add to the backlog of courses I need to take.

I like Real World Functional Programming by Tomas Petricek if you are already doing C# development.

I don't think it's far to compare any city to New Orleans. I think everyone from the South is a little bit jealous of the culture of New Orleans. It's just a amazing place.

FAKE is awesome. The entire F# ecosystem is pretty impressive.

It will be a sad weekend in Memphis. There are no words to describe what he means to that city. We lost a legend.

I have only used F# for a couple months, but I have a decent background in ML thanks to the Dan Grossman's incredible programming languages course.

I would say that if I can use F# Data or Deedle on a project, I will. Those tools totally make it worth learning a little F#.

I think the TAs/graders will start to scale. There are some amazing TAs in this program. From my experience, I think some of the best are also current students in the program. I think the network effect of having so many students will have a big impact. I think you will start seeing companies encouraging employees to be TAs just for the ability to screen for potential employees.

I did the same with my twin. It's quite common from my understanding.

If you are interested in some studies on HIPAA compliance, I would suggest reading the work by Dr. Annie I. Antón on requirements engineering.

HIPAA is seriously complex piece of legislation.

I write software. I'm a master's student at Georgia Institute of Technology. My academic interests are in the fields of Machine Learning and Systems programming. I work in the financial industry as a developer. I mostly write C# at work.
I enjoy working with the ML family of functional programing languages(F#, SML, oCaml). I dabble in a little Haskell, C, and C++.
