Hi Claudia, thanks for putting this together, I've already found it very useful.
I didn't see any linear algebra anywhere here, and from my (probably naïve) understanding of data science, it seems to be core to a lot of the main ideas. Do you know of any good resources in this same vein as the rest of the track? I've been watching Coursera and EDX and it seems linear algebra offerings are somewhat sporadic.
Hi, Glad you're finding it helpful! The reason I didn't include linear algebra is that it is possible to do the day-to-day work of most entry level data science jobs without it.
That said, it is great to know for a deeper understanding and if you are writing your own machine learning algorithms. This MIT OCW class provides a good introduction, with video lectures and problem sets: http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/mathematics/18-06-linear-algebra-...
