Math 23a and 23c are Harvard's honors-level linear algebra and multivariable calculus sequence, taught by Bamberg. Commenters describe it as demanding but covering nearly all the math needed for machine learning.

Commenters call it a phenomenal set of classes that teaches almost all the math needed for ML, though it is demanding.

   I had studied a lot of ML but all the technical questions were focused on traditional algorithms, so this was still a little retro. The math requirement was minimal but I had more than enough from the ML coursework.

   Bamberg's Math 23a / 23c is phenomenal set of classes at Harvard. You will work like a dog but learn almost all the math you need for ML.
