So I just signed up, and I see that this is implemented as a track, meaning there are several edX courses required to complete it. Among those are Python for Data Science, Math for Artificial Intelligence, legal stuff, NLP etc. I like how comprehensive this is. The problem (as I've stated before) with Ng's course is he hand waves a lot of the required math away which concerns me. Specifically vectorization I remember constantly being surprised what was possible mathematically instead of 'getting it'. That said, is there an AWS version of this track? Maybe Math/Spark/Scala/ML oriented? I do like that it seems comprehensive, so I think I'll invest time into doing it.

Which toolsets does this course rely on?

  Mostly Microsoft's. I assume some Azure from my previous experience with on of their courses.

  This programme is all Python in Jupyter, backed by Azure. You can use their hosted one or spin up your own with Conda.

consider a mathematician, who already knows python, is he forced to first complete the python, math etc tracks, or can he simply follow the course without needing to prove he meets the requirements?

  You can skip straight to the assessments without watching any videos or doing any labs, if that's what you mean. But you need to complete the assessments if you want to get a certificate at the end.
