thanks, everyone! Here are some recommendations for MIT OCW courses.

Maths foundation

To build the maths foundation for data science, the relevant MIT OCW courses are Calculus and Linear Algebra. If you have a good foundation in maths, you can watch selectively or skip these lectures.

Single Variable Calculus:

Multivariable Calculus:

https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/mathematics/18-02sc-multivariable-calculus-fall-2010/

Linear Algebra (my favorite!):
