Udacity's Machine Learning (ud262) is a free online course covering core machine learning concepts and techniques, with prerequisites in statistics and related math that the course links to. It is aimed at learners who want a general, approachable introduction before the heavier theory.

Commenters suggest it as an accessible MOOC for getting a general idea of machine learning without needing much math background first.

   Also, try doing some MOOCs that don't require so much math background, to achieve some kind of "general idea" of what Machine Learning (and all its branches) is all about.
