Khan Academy's free probability section, a set of short video lessons covering basic probability concepts as part of its broader math playlists. It is used as preparation for university-level machine learning and AI courses.

Commenters say it covered what they needed for Stanford's AI and ML prerequisites, and one calls it very helpful for preparing for AI Class.

  1. Strongly recommendsamjith2011in “Stanford to host more online classes”

    I highly recommend http://khanacademy.org for Probability.

    http://www.khanacademy.org/#probability

    I went through all the videos on that subject in preparation for AI Class and it helped me tremendously.

  2. RecommendsDavidMcLaughlin2011in “Stanford Fall 2011 - Machine Learning”

    Note for anyone signing up for this who has been in industry for a while: the prerequisites for this class really are prerequisites and it can be quite difficult to follow along if you're too busy trying to get your head around the basic math. You can check out the existing lectures on iTunes U to see what I mean.

    Completing the Khan Academy playlists for Linear Algebra and Probability would be pretty useful if you want to be prepared in time for October.

  3. RecommendsJeanPierre2011in “Free online version of Stanford's Fall 2011 Intro to AI course”

    Khan Academy has actually covered everything I've gone through in my statistics class and linear algebra classes, so I'll recommend that as I'm going two semesters with AIMA the upcoming year.
