most of the courses on coursera are for uninitiated and have very shallow content (there are some rare exception). So if you like you can search for a good book or some video lecture from good university. like this is for statistical learning " https://online.stanford.edu/courses/sohs-ystatslearning-stat...

#72Here is a list of all Coursera courses sorted by ratings: https://www.classcentral.com/provider/coursera?sort=rating-u... You can also filter by subjects i.e Computer Science, Data Science. Humanities, Mathematics, etc. Disclaimer: I am the founder.
Is there a plan to get more advanced courses? I'm asking because there seems to be an extreme bias towards beginners courses, or content that is rather limited in breadth and depth compared to what a university might teach during a full masters degree. ie, there's about 50 security intro courses (with lots of overlap of course), one "advanced" course that's been delayed for long and isn't all that advanced (Crypto II…

#75Let me recommend you an udacity course instead. This is hands down the best course I've ever taken in my life: AI for Trading https://www.udacity.com/course/ai-for-trading--nd880 Includes an introduction to finance/markets, and goes into strategies, multi-factor models, and deep learning. Great projects too!
Or did you really write it twice?

#77Don't let the idea of doing 'basic' calculus turn you away as it is an incredibly tough course. The reason it can be so challenging and the reason I find it so incredible is that it teaches Calculus through the lenses of Taylor Series. Very different to other Calculus courses and as someone who hated my first year university maths course it's helped me really come to appreciate the beauty of it!
Here's the link to the first course of 5:

#79I think the pacing is great even for people who are not yet into DSP; every lecture teaches fundamental concepts that build on top of each other, and many insightful examples are given (listening to waveforms, looking at spectrograms). I'm now in week 5 (I just watch the lectures at my own pace, e.g. so far I don't need the programming part of the course), and I've already learned a lot.

* Multivariable calculus (a linear algebra based approach, and a very nice intro to differential forms)
* Applied dynamical systems (ongoing, started recently)
