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 notebooks in Python, but don't worry, these will be quite short, focussed on the concepts, and will guide you through if you’ve not coded before. At the end of this course you will have an intuitive understanding of vectors and matrices that will help you bridge the gap into linear algebra problems, and how to apply these concepts to machine learning....

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

Professors teaches in so much friendly manner. This is beginner level course. Don't expect you will dive deep inside the Linear Algebra. But the foundation will become solid if you attend this course.

The linear algebra was taught in an easy to understand manor but the applications in machine learning were quite sparse

Should share additional videos (like links to khan academy if the student needs to learn more or wants to get deeper).

It is really intuitive and good for people who have little idea of Linear Algebra. The best part is the PageRank Algo.

Programming assignments failed to save and submit sometimes. But the course itself was well taught and at a good pace

Achei que haveria uma pequena introdução ou explicação de como seria usado esse conhecimento em Machine Learning.

Nice course! Hope to improve the programming function. It is really hard to find the errors in it for a greenhand

The two first courses are excellent, the final course is full of bugs and errors and a general pain in the butt.

Good course. It will be great if this can also include material if you want to go deeper after taking the class.

Went a bit too quickly for me towards the end of the course (coming into this as a layman), otherwise very good.

Very good course overall. I would have liked more explanation on the exercises and more time working on python.

This course is short, you can conclude it in a month, but you will learn a lot with the assignments in Python

love it. However, it went a bit fast and I wish the parts of eigen stuffs had been slower and more detailed.

Course re-engineered my Lin Algebra skills. Rather challenging portions at times, But I learned patience.
