About the Course

This is the first course of a three course specialization that introduces the students to the concepts of linear algebra, one of the most important and basic areas of mathematics, with many real-life applications. This foundational material provides both theory and applications for topics in mathematics, engineering and the sciences. The course content focuses on linear equations, matrix methods, analytical geometry and linear transformations. As well as mastering techniques, students will be exposed to the more abstract ideas of linear algebra. Lectures, readings, quizzes, and a project all help students to master course content and and learn to read, write, and even correct mathematical proofs. At the end of the course, students will be fluent in the language of linear algebra, learning new definitions and theorems along with examples and counterexamples. Students will also learn to employ techniques to classify and solve linear systems of equations. This course prepares students to continue their study of linear transformations with the next course in the specialization. ....

Prof explains in very clear terms explicitly over and over again with a humourous tounge, what the link between somewhat disconnected topics in LinAlg : Matrice vector products, Linear systems of equations, vector algebra, also functions and linear transformations. In the courses I stumbled upon these connections were spelled out subtlely but the approach in this course made it really click for me. He also pinpoints what are typical misunderstandings of students working with an example, where I had the chance to perfect my misperceptions on a concept I thought I understood clearly. Moreover quiz questions really tested my understanding of concepts rather than focusing on numerical calculations. Overall, he is a pro who has pedagocially crafted a very unique state of the art course. Cant wait to finish the whole spec.

This is overall a poor quality course. There is a gap between the type of content that is explained in the videos and the exercises that presented as graded material. There's almost no way to be prepared for the graded material based on what is covered in the lecture videos. I'd recommend to not take this course.

I recently undertook this course, and what an exhilarating journey it has been! As someone who's always had a fascination with the intricate beauty of mathematics, this course not only met but exceeded my lofty expectations. From the very first lesson, I was hooked. The way the material was presented made even the most complex concepts feel accessible and engaging. It's evident that the instructors poured their passion for mathematics into every aspect of the course, from the clear explanations to the challenging yet rewarding problem sets. One of the standout features of the course was its emphasis on practical application. Rather than simply memorizing formulas, I learned how to approach problems with a deeper understanding of the underlying principles. This newfound knowledge not only boosted my confidence but also made me appreciate the elegance of algebra in everyday life.

Outstanding. Cuts through the formalism found in many linear algebra texts and makes the concepts intelligible, to the point that you can begin to understand the formalism. This course is definitely worth your time if you want exposure to linear algebra!
