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

I think this course is a little bit hard for a beginner with python. And I hope that the teacher can talk more about the Machine learning part.

Excellent videos with generally appropriate pace. Some more examples and exercises would probably improve the learning experience even more.

Very good explanations on difficult subjects but a bit short coverage of various cases, thus some assignments and quizzes were challenging.

Answers to Several questions in Week 5 quiz around eigen values and eigen vectors need to be revisited as they donot appear to be correct.

This course consists of very fundamentals of linear algebra. I expected advanced linear algebra contents and more software applications.

Sadly too many vital exercises are behind the premium path with -- with no way to complete the course properly without access to them

feels like the important/interesting stuff was described briefly, while deep diving into calculations.

I miss the broader picture.

The course gives a good beginner-friendly Introduction to Linear Algebra. But the courses could cover a little more topics in LA.

I would give it 3.7, examples are good but the vectors the lecturer draw were no easy to understand because of drawing by hand.

TEverything is good until you reach the coding assignement. Then it is a complete disconnect with no resources available.

The Eigen system could have been better explained. The last quiz was too hard and the concepts required were not covered

Lot of the concepts seemed glossed over and could have used more guided practice and/or linkages to real world problems.

It is so complex and contains so much knowledge but hard to understand for beginner or intermediate in mathematic

The instructor is skipping a lot of material and the quizzes require working with external sources to be solved.

This course would be perfect if more elaboration on the maths required to complete the quizzes, was provided.

i expected a practical mathematic approach rather than only mathematical approach.but page rank algo is good

The course could give more insights on a number of topics and it was very brief which made a bit frustrated

Good course, but could add extra steps for those a little rusty with algebra, matrices, vectors and so on.

The practice quizzes were just too easy. Only the last Page Rank Quiz was hard. All the others were easy.

Overall good, but some nasty difficulty with the programming assignments... especially the last one.

I got lost in many ocasions and had to look on youtube to understand the concept such as projection

The programming part is too confusing for someone that is just starting.

Thanks for the opportunity.

Everything is good. But I still don't have any idea about how I will use this in Machine learning.

Good material if you want to refresh your knowledge, poor programming assignment support/feedback

Repetitive/redundant questions in the assignment and minimal use of coding during the videos
