Add HS math pre-requisite from guidelines #76

The Curriculum Guidelines state the following:

To be prepared for the data science curriculum, students should

  • Be calculus ready (i.e., have a good precalculus course)
  • Have an understanding of basic matrix algebra (solving systems of linear equations)
  • Understand the basics of a relationship between variables, including scatterplots, the idea of correlation, and the line of best fit
  • Have experience with descriptive statistics: notions of center, spread, and skew

I have found that the current curriculum, starting at MIT 6.000.1x, certainly reflects those prerequisites. Moreover, the previous Readme file included an unused "Prerequisite" link in its index, which has now been fixed.

I have also fixed a typo in the "Community" section.
