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.

I love this course. The professors teach Linear Algebra easily enough for me as a beginner to understand it. I'm willing to take more courses of them.

Really well explained. I wish I had got such a professor when I learn these concepts in the highschool :) Lot's of examples and exercises to practice.

Great course that bridges key elements of classic linear algebra with ML applications, skipping a lot of math overhead and pointing out key concepts.

I really good course for someone who never had the opportunity to study linear algebra and already have passed for some concepts in machine learning!

Fantastic recap on linear algebra concepts.

The focus on intuitive understanding is a pleasure and far more engaging than more traditional approaches.

Coursera is my favorite place to learn. When I feel I need to introduce myself with some enchanting topics, then simply register course on Coursera.

Great course to build confidence and intuition in linear algebra. Not much focus on practical computations, but that' s not the scope of the course.

Nice and quick recap of linear algebra if you had it in university several years ago. If you are total zero better find something more fundamental.

One of the most concise and yet complete courses on Linear algebra in the light of its practical application in the real world and machine learning

The course is well structed, although, I think that there's a lot to be self learned to apply appropriately mathematics when using ML algorithms.

Combined with 3Blue1Brown this course is gorgeous. It would be nice, though, to have more details covered, explanations and non-trivial examples.

I liked the rigour of the course and the well designed/conveyed contents. I wish the pace of videos was a bit slower and longer, rest was great!

I thinks course its very helpful for machine learning but Its so hard to present code in the quiz

Student might be bored about that . Thanks you
