It is the most popular course on Coursera because it's ~3 hours of lectures and ~3 hours of study and it seems to be advertised for everyone who logs on to Coursera.
Andrew Ng's Course is 11 weeks and it's about ~5 hours a week and on top of that you'd really want to be quite able at High School Maths and have some programming background.

- bbcbasic 9y agoI liked siens comment for the detail though.
- tonyedgecombe 9y agoIt also has a broad appeal, someone could be studying social sciences or computer science and find it equally applicable.
