mlcourse.ai is an open Machine Learning course by OpenDataScience (ods.ai), led by Yury Kashnitsky (yorko). Having both a Ph.D. degree in applied math and a Kaggle Competitions Master tier, Yury aimed at designing an ML course with a perfect balance between theory and practice. Thus, the course meets you with math formulae in lectures, and a lot of practice in a form of assignments and Kaggle Inclass competitions. Currently, the course is in a self-paced mode. Here we guide you through the self-paced mlcourse.ai.
Bonus: Additionally, you can purchase a Bonus Assignments pack with the best non-demo versions of mlcourse.ai assignments. Select the "Bonus Assignments" tier. Refer to the details of the deal on the main page mlcourse.ai.

You are guided through 10 weeks of mlcourse.ai. For each week, from Pandas to Gradient Boosting, instructions are given on which articles to read, lectures to watch, what assignments to accomplish.
