  From Hinton's course on coursera: Recommended Background Programming proficiency in Matlab, Octave or Python. Enough knowledge of calculus to be able to differentiate simple functions.

Enough knowledge of probability theory to understand what a probability density is. https://www.coursera.org/course/neuralnets https://www.coursera.org/course/neuralnets
