Anyone know how many hours per week will be required? I am finishing up my 3 year distance learning MSc this month, so will have around 20 hours per week for these two courses. Hope that will be enough.

#22Note for anyone signing up for this who has been in industry for a while: the prerequisites for this class really are prerequisites and it can be quite difficult to follow along if you're too busy trying to get your head around the basic math. You can check out the existing lectures on iTunes U to see what I mean. Completing the Khan Academy playlists for Linear Algebra and Probability would be pretty useful if you w…
I took a look at the ones already online and downloaded them a while back. Also went through Khans stuff on the areas you mentioned after i realised i needed just a refresher on a few of the areas. After the refresher following the lectures was much easier.
I did a bachelors and a masters in comp-sci at usyd and unsw in aus, it was good but i remember not getting into the depth that the stanford lectures did so im quite excited to get back into it. Also decided to take some time of work to work on a few of my own things so got alot of time to have fun with the materials.
BTW thanks to standford for this material, its totally awesome :)

#23Like a few other people here, I took this class recently. I did well, but I don't feel like I truly understand material until I teach it. That being said, if anybody here has questions on the material, I'd love to help you out in some way. Unfortunately, there is no personal messaging feature on HN, so we might have to resort to emails (or maybe a subreddit?). I realize there is an official class forum, so please tel…
Wow ... our own TA! That would be neat.
I just started watching this course on iTunesU and was wishing I had someone to ask basic clarification questions to.
Would using Convore be appropriate for this purpose?
EDIT: I created one ... ml-class (HN support group) http://t.co/0Ahtgw5

The video on the page mentions an average of ~10 hours per week.

I was watching some older Andrew Ng Intro to ML lectures [1], and found Gilbert Strang's linear algebra [2] movies super useful as background. You'll definitely want to feel strong on linear algebra before taking the class.
