This week I focused on going through Week 2 of Coursera Machine Learning. I completed all the video lectures and notes for each section and learned about multivariate linear regression and the advantages/disadvantages of gradient descent and normal equation. I also spent time reviewing the MATLAB tutorials and learned a lot about about vectorization. I have yet to complete the Linear Regression Quiz and first programming assignment, but I plan to finish these by tomorrow and immediately start on Week 3. Next week I plan to read chapter 2 of the ML & Security Book since it aligns with Coursera's Week 3 content.
