From what I understand, there's a level of formality to jumping in and doing this (i.e. tracking progress with webapp)
The guide states: "Should I take all courses? Yes! The intention is to conclude all the courses listed here!"
What's the view on jumping in where it seems appropriate?
Not to get worked up about the details or anything, but just curious on the extent to which taking part in this is a formal process vs. a loose structure open to interpretation. :+1:
The intention is to cover as much prereq as possible without assuming anything about the learner's background
Also, to provide "Brush up" opportunity for people already comfortable, but definitely you can/should start at the appropriate level you feel
Hello guys! This talk could be interesting.

else you can bump up the number , but try not to do more than 3 at once
Thanks @royshouvik I have just finished the Course on Git and GitHub. I am devoting my full time to this. But I have found that I am more productive if I concentrate on only one course at a time rather than taking a couple more. I tend to lose track and eventually fall behind.
How long will it take to finish the entire course
Just want to ask, is there any textbook required to follow this path?
@royshouvik We now have a new way to track our progress in the OSSU-CS curriculum. Maybe it would be helpful to do something like this for the DS course as well. In this section you can understand how it will be done now :smile:
:smile:
Also how does this course compare with the data science master course
Hey guys, I just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone involved! Specially @royshouvik for starting this. :+1:
I've been following the course for the past month + a few weeks, I finished the Linear Algebra section and I'm now working my way through Calculus, I was told these stuff in school and university, but I was never actually taught, now I'm actually learning the concepts in and out.

@lastnamearya I don't know about the whole path, I started around 3 months ago (20.09.16) and I'm on Calculus B right now, I do it alongside work and university and everything, I think on average I put 2-3 hours a day on it, sometimes more sometimes less.
what I really like about it is it has become a habit of mine to follow the courses everyday, I estimate I'm going to finish Multivariable Calculus in 2 months with this pace
If any of you are struggling with the math prereq (Linear Algebra, Probability) for the data science path, I highly recommend Khan Academy
