I'm glad to hear that everyone will have full access to course materials. It makes me really proud of Michigan. Good luck with your class!

Hey I'm a recent Michigan alumnus and I've started learning data science for fun. One of the problems with a lot of the resources I've read online is that they don't go into enough detail about how the math works. I feel more comfortable using methods, such as PCA, when I have an idea what the method is actually doing. How do you plan to address the fact that you need to have some experience with linear algebra, stats and diff eq to have a reasonable grasp of how basic data science methods work?

Also, will people have to pay for the quizzes in your coursera class?

Thank you and go blue!
