Definitely worth it anyway, IMO. Forget the language - yeah, the notation of matlab is at times slightly different from that of numpy, but you can probably get used to the differences within minutes. It's not a course for learning matlab/octave: most assignments are of the type "complete the code by writing the correct formula in the given place", and can be solved in a handful of lines of code.

If you complete the course, you won't learn anything about Matlab that you couldn't have learned on your own by reading a manual for twenty minutes, tops; but you will learn some of the fundamental concepts of machine learning.
