About the Course

In this course on Linear Algebra we look at what linear algebra is and how it relates to vectors and matrices. Then we look through what
vectors and matrices are and how to work with them, including the knotty problem of eigenvalues and eigenvectors, and how to use these to
solve problems. Finally we look at how to use these to do fun things with datasets - like how to rotate images of faces and how to extract
eigenvectors to look at how the Pagerank algorithm works. Since we're aiming at data-driven applications, we'll be implementing some of these
ideas in code, not just on pencil and paper. Towards the end of the course, you'll write code blocks and encounter Jupyter not...

A great course covering key aspects of Linear Algebra with the lecturers giving a good intuition about what's going on with the subjects.(PS. I loved the sense of humor of Prof.Dye it was really fun!)

the instrutors were too good and their explination for the concepts was to the point and it made me realize things in linear algebra I didn't know before although I studied it in school of engineering

The course is a good review of linear algebra for machine learning. But It would have been better if there were more code exercises and if they were more challenging.

Brushes over a lot of relevant topics, but if you want something more in-depth, definitely take something on Khan Academy, or your local university/community college.

The video instruction was great but the assignments were difficult to understand given the instruction. Also, the python often failed due to unrecognized routines.

Excellent introduction to linear algebra fundamentals, even with little/no prior exposure. Familiarity with programming concepts makes later exercises much easier.

It is a good course for beginners and to revise the concept. I feel the lack of explanation in some concepts which could have been avoided by providing references.

Short and fast crash course for brushing up linear algebra. Its better to take Khan academy tutorials and then start this to finish fast and understand the logics.

It was a great hands-on experience with Linear Algebra but sometimes parts of the course got difficult, I couldn't get any of the tips given by the professionals.

Some material not covered well enough to pass and I am a pretty proficient student. Some material seems a little out of place with the progression of the course

Gives a good intro to some of the basic linear algebra - however would have been happier to see more details in the handling of eigen vectors and eigen values.

The course is absolutely great and is user friendly. Some parts of the course needs to be improved in order to help students get better clarity on that topic.

A good summation of Linear Algebra. This course did give an insight into what matrix is, space, and how to apply transformation in a way that is the easiest.

The course is pretty helpful as a recap for linear algebra and has nice explanations to set up your intuition for the core mathematical concepts of the field

the first four weeks were so good and intuitive. But I was left in confusion for most part of week 5 and had to take help of other sources (khanacademy,etc)

Supplemental materials in the form of examples or bullet points with the core algorithm/concept on the topics would be helpful to grasp the material quicker

This was a great course, however you should expect to have some foundation in linear algebra to begin with and use this as a supplement to your knowledge

Great course !! though not it deals everything in depth or covers wider topics it definitely helps with the basics and introduces well to the subject ...

I am very excited to pass this course. The explanation very great but it very hard to achive this certificate in a week. But alhamdulillah i can do it.

This is a great course, but some of the quizzes are quite difficult. If there were more explanation on the quizzes, this course would be just perfect!

An intersting course. It was let down by the fact that there was no involvement by the staff in answering students questions as far as I could see.

I'd give 5 stars if the same instructor taught the last week material. I really enjoyed my learning process and found the content pretty valuable.

Its such an amazing course that refreshed me quite well. It only needs some solved problems to get used to the way of solving for more applying.

Course is very well taught and the focus on intuition is super useful. It would be nice to get into advanced topics after the intuition is built

Excellent course. Lots of practical examples. Explanations are clear. I would suggest adding a summary of the lectures in form of some document.
