Took the class with the intention of practicing concepts and getting a taste of how University of Colorado Boulder conducts their online classes, because I was interested in the Master of Science in Data Science. The class was good, could have been better, but that's not issue. Several students, including myself, are complaining on the group forum because there's a programing error on the last quiz. We are unable to submit the answer and thus we get and automatic fail on the test. It's been over a week, my deadline to complete the course is about to expire and no one from the school has answered a single word. Apparently I'm going to fail a class, because the quiz doesn't work and the moderators are MIA.

There are significant issues with the quizzes in this course.

Quizes are flawed, i.e. software doesn't recognize right answers.

Excellent introduction and review for those of us who took these courses some years ago! Really appreciated the clear teaching, which is so important for learrning math.

After reading the reviews I almost didn't take this course. (Whatever errors might have been in quizzes must have been fixed as I had no problems). I really enjoyed it! Very clear and to the point, just the right amount of homework and felt the worked connected and reinforced the lectures. I hadn't taken a Calculus class since Pre-Calc in High School (27 years ago!) and finished it with no problems. Highly recommend.

It is great refresher! I reviewed the subjects that I studies many years ago at the university in different language. Nice way to learn how it is all called in English. I am not sure though how effective it will be for people who are not familiar with the subject.

Too low content to understand topics.

This course is a little brief; however, it could serve as an excellent refresher to someone who hasn't taken Calculus 1 for a while.

Really enjoyed the content and the whole structure of the course. It's been a few decades since I did calc and this was excellent!

This is a very poorly taught course. The videos feel like they were not practiced, were unorganized at times, and instead of re-recording they just said the first take was good enough. Many of the stuff in the quizzes were not talked about in the videos at all. If you are a beginner, looking for quality explanations or examples, this course is basically worthless. If you have learned about the concepts before and are looking for a reminder then that's about all this class is good for.

If you have already studied calculus in high school, this course is going to provide you absolutely zero value. After doing this course, it felt as if I did not learn anything new. To be honest, this was a huge waste of my time and money.

The squeaking of the marker on the board is too annoying to put up with.

This course is really good if you have done calculus before but can't remember any of it after years of not using it. It's quick and the lectures are short and to the point. No time is wasted, and it just enough to refresh the basic intuitions behind calculus as well as help you remember the derivative rules.

It is not going to be a super fun experience if you are horribly rusty on basic algebra. Although the first two weeks of the course review algebra, they aren't super thorough and the exercises won't be enough to rework your brain into being comfortable with algebra. If this describes you, you'll want to take some time to practice algebra first. The calculus part of the course is pretty simple, but there are places where you'll do quite a bit of multiplying polynomials, and this is absolutely painful if you haven't done that in over a decade.

I think Jane Wall is a great lecturer. If I have any major criticism of the course, I think she should lecture even more. I'd love to see 2-3 more examples for each topic worked out in videos.

So much practical, precise. I was planning to study statistics and data science after having been out from mathematics for many years. And searched for what is the prerequisites to begin study of statistics, economics and data science. And made a scheme of learning objectives and was looking for classes to teach subjects on that objective. But it was too overwhelming to study all those subjects, since when watching videos, I know some of them and don't know some. So I couldn't skip but to watch all of the videos.

But finding this course, it was just prepared what I need to know in a very systematic and practical manner. Teaching was amazingly simple.

I really appreciate you guys. Hope you'll do more good things.

This is a fantastic course if you've previously had algebra & calc but it's been a minute. What I especially loved about this one: it's all theory, so you're not wasting time getting bogged down by computation and/or programming. You're zeroed in on the theoretical concepts that underpin the analysis. Huge. Big thank you to the CU team for putting this together, already excited for the next course in the series!

Excellent course to remember essential topics of algebra and differential calculus. The charisma of the instructor is unique and the topics are practical and precise. Don't expect the topics to go too deep, however, they are approached in such a way that makes it easy to understand more complex concepts.

I recently completed the "Algebra and Differential Calculus for Data Science" course, and it exceeded all my expectations. The comprehensive eight-hour program masterfully blends clarity, depth, and practical application, making complex mathematical concepts remarkably accessible.

I liked the noise of the pen on the board. I miss it in the next course! Impressive knowledge transmission at a very good pace. It reminded me my times in scientific section in High school. Although, for a new comer, some concepts might be hard to get on your first run.

This course is good introductory course in Calculus. For students new to Calculus, please remember learning any subject takes times and also you may want to refer to more than one source for reference like you would do while leaning any new subject.

pretty solid review of the basics. Sometimes the examples in the videos were a lot more simple than the problems on quizes bit the provided the tools to solve the more complex equations. Doesnt take long is relatively easy to understand.
