Most popular classes at Stanford University

CS 229 Machine Learning, by Andrew Ng, is indisputably the most popular Stanford class with the enrollment reaching nearly 730 students this Autumn Quarter.

 
In the 'top ten' biggest Stanford classes you will also find six other Computer Science courses, but all of them individually gather only around half of CS 229 number of participants:

CS 103 Mathematical Foundations of Computing
CS 106A Programming Methodology 
CS 221 Artificial Intelligence: Principles and Techniques
CS 183B How to Start a Startup (by Y Combinator)
CS 107 Computer Organization and Systems
CS 145 Introduction to Databases
CS 106B Programming Abstractions
                              

Here you will find a list of classes with more than 100 students enrolled, ordered by number of participants:
