I would do the first and classic one on Coursera first and then newer deep learning. The original one gives you better grounding in basic ML stuff that is not as "sexy" these days but is still fundamental and used for solving many problems. I was in a similar boat but on the analytics side wrt to maths. I also took courses at a local university in Math to build up my knowledge. Learning pure math at the college level, like learning to do proofs in front of people on a chalkboard -- I think is very difficult to do unless you take it in the context of a class. I think you should still give it a go, it's never too late! edit: answer original question
