It provides beginners like me with a lot of new knowledge, but honestly I have to use other tools to help understand the concepts in the course, otherwise it is quite difficult for me

There is much calculus involved which makes me hard to digest the materials (I have not completed calculus yet), but overall an informative course from Stanford online.
