I prefer learning from textbooks than online courses, here are my picks (in the order of my first post):

1. Sorry, I do not have a suggestion here. I'm Brazilian and I happened to find an amazing PDF of an obscure book (by a not well known professor). In Portuguese though.

2. "Calculus Made Easy" is my book of choice. Don't dismiss it because of the 'cheap' title, it's a very good book.

3. It's super important to get the intuitions first, and not just the math. So I mostly used two books, both heavily illustrated: "Deep Learning - A Visual Approach" and "Deep Learning Illustrated". Those are way better as an introduction to the field than the 'big names' (Goodfellow/Bengio, Bishop, etc).

Normally if I'm on youtube, it means I'm struggling with something. The statquest channel is amazing, it's the most 'baby steps' explanations I've ever seen. If I find a video on what I want to understand there, I don't waste my time trying other channels anymore.
