Search for it ↗

A university-level introductory calculus course covering single-variable calculus, offered by Penn State (available through Coursera-style online delivery). Commenters point to it as a follow-on to the Ohio State calculus course for learners starting from very little math.

One commenter suggests it as the next step after the Ohio State calculus course for someone who knows almost no calculus, as part of a math path for machine learning.

    For Calculus check Coursera - the Ohio State course if you really don't know absolutelly anything, then do the Penn State course(s) Calculus in a Single Variable

    For Linear Algebra check Gilbert Strang's course on MIT OCW

    For Probability/Statistics either John Tsitsiklis' course on MIT OCW (or even better on edX when it re-runs) or Harvard's Statistics 110: Probability course on youtube

    The level of multivar calculus you'll need is really minimal, just google these terms "partial derivative", "total derivative", "differentials and integrals commute" ("Symmetry of second derivatives", "Fubini's theorem") or take the vector calculus course from MIT OCW
