PreReq quiz for Machine Learning for Healthcare (6.S897, HST.956)

This quiz will not count toward your grade, but will be used by the course staff to check prerequisites (6.036/6.862 or 6.867 or 9.520/6.860 or 6.806/6.864 or 6.438 or 6.034) and to assess students' preparation for this class.

Please submit it as soon as possible -- and no later than Tuesday 2/5/19 at 11:59pm EST. We expect the quiz to take no more than 15-20 minutes.
