No, you do not need an undergraduate degree to enroll in this course. However, a background in college-level mathematics, including differential calculus, linear algebra, and statistics, is necessary. If you lack experience in these subjects or wish to refresh your knowledge, we recommend exploring the suggested free courses below. While these courses are not mandatory, we encourage you to audit them for free. Additionally, MATLAB experience is beneficial but not required.
To acquire the necessary knowledge, there are two types of courses available: those offered on edX and those offered on MIT OpenCourseWare. The edX courses are live, featuring interactive discussion forums and TA support, and they are led by instructors during specific dates. On the other hand, the MIT OpenCourseWare (OCW) courses are archived, allowing for self-paced learning, and are available at any time. However, they do not provide live support such as discussion forums or TA assistance.
