Condensed AI Challenge: 2 week progress

The best laid schemes o' Mice an' Men

Made both more progress and less progress than planned.  I bounced around my plan: Artificial Intelligence (AI) article here, Machine Learning (ML) video there; Linear Algebra course here, Python book there. Also, I used more than my scheduled 10 hours a week (more like 30). The long and short of it is that 2 weeks of study gave me an overview glimpse of Artificial Intelligence (the 'more' progress) and confirmed MIT curriculum: I need to learn Linear Algebra and Python first (the less progress).

What is a determinant?

While slugging away at Linear Algebra I hit a roadblock in Imperial College London's Mathematics for Machine learning (coursera). So I backed up by taking a simpler course: Georgia Tech's Linear Algebra II (Edx) and reading a linear algebra chapter in a college math book. I continue to hit roadblocks in Mathematics for Machine Learning; the current one requires side reading on matrix transforms. 

For Python, the Python in 30 minutes course (it has 2 hours of lectures, go figure), and Python for Beginners book gave me enough to start understanding the code. The courses that I have listed include exercises and projects using Python which will deepen my learning.

Here is my updated plan (Yellow items are Phase I tasks; Blue items have been completed). The Orange items are documentaries that I started watching but don't provide the practical content I'm looking for. The Green item I've read but needs a revisit after I learn Machine Learning concepts better.
