1) go into knowing that the terminology is the hardest part to learn. The arithmetic is fairly easy, but the word salads can get daunting.

2) khan academy, coursera, MIT open courseware, whatever books your library has. Piece together multiple sources, b/c you don't have a professor to ask questions to, you'll need all the different sources and how each source explains the same idea differently for everything to 'click'.

I refreshed on linear algebra and multi variable calculus through Khan Academy before I took a theory-based machine learning class. For me, it was a really good experience and I can’t overstate my appreciation for Sal Khan’s teaching style.
