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....

Excellent review of Linear Algebra even for those who have taken it at school. Handwriting of the first instructor wasn't always legible, but wasn't too bad. Second instructor's handwriting is better.

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

Great course, but there are some bugs in automatic assignment grading, and the instructors are not responsive on the forums.

The difficulty of the problem in the quiz and the example in the video is too far, the problem in the quiz is so much harder

Course was nice,but if you provide more example of real world usage of Linear Algebra in Machine Learning it would be nice

This was course made my intuition for underlying mathematics when using machine learning much more stronger and efficient.

the course is a bit challenging i would recommend that you better get yourself familiar with basic linear algebra first

this is a very nice and useful lesson.

but sometime I need to search for more knowledge to help me finished my home work

It would be better if it had lecture notes. Reviewing the material and writing it down requires rewatching the lectures

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.

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.

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