    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...

    The instruction was good throughout, but I would urge fellow students to take the time to work through the problems as suggested. Also, the eigen- stuff is quite tricky and can fool you. Be careful.

    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

    little bit hard because the language is english and the math word in englist to make me confused and dizzy. I hope this course available Indonesia language for the next students who wants to learn this.

    Thank you for providing this course. An advice would be to have the programming assignments start out with more guidance before letting the student do it. The Page Rank assignment for example was great.

    So great in general! But since it is not a pure maths course, some concepts are not explained in depth. It's a perfect course for self-learner because you can always go to the forum to look for answers.

    Great class, you'll learn a lot. Class is listed as Beginner, but it I think it is much harder than "Beginner". I took Linera Alg ~35 years ago and thought this would be a review. Worth the time |:-)

    I appreciate the way that you taught this course. I loved your joy of teaching and making sense of linear algebra in machine learning, and looking forward to joining the next course.

    Thank you so much!

    The course is good because it doesn't just teach all of linear algebra like some other courses. It only teaches what is specific to Machine Learning which actually saves a lot more time than you think.

    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!)

    This course is not for people without any knowledge on Linear Algebra, but for those with who want to build intuitive understanding of how Linear Algebra works.

    I particularly like Dave's instruction.

    The content of the course is very relevant, and the instructors are really fun and helpful.My only suggestion is to upload revisions for each assessment, so we can understand what we are doing wrong.

    Satisfactory. Most satisfactory. Actually, this course is possibly the best linear algebra MOOC class in terms of instructor teaching style and how they pick and convey the most insightful concepts.

    It's a nice course but instructors should go in more details. It's mostly high school mathematics. I was expecting undergraduate level Linear Algebra. Otherwise it was a good learning experience.

    Efficient, targeted course for learning the language and basic operations within linear algebra. Excellent for those working full-time, and for those without much experience with linear algebra.

    really good. i would have been fine with a slightly longer course that worked through more examples and alternative explanations in order to ensure more solid understanding of complex concepts.

    Brilliantly explained, loved the use of different marker which helped to understand better. Only one suggestion, if the summary has the mathematical equations/python equivalent would be helpful.

    The concepts are explained well. However, might not be very useful for people who have some basic understanding of linear algebra. Taking this course is not as effective as reading the textbook.
