About the Course

This course is the second course in the Linear Algebra Specialization. In this course, we continue to develop the techniques and theory to study matrices as special linear transformations (functions) on vectors. In particular, we develop techniques to manipulate matrices algebraically. This will allow us to better analyze and solve systems of linear equations. Furthermore, the definitions and theorems presented in the course allow use to identify the properties of an invertible matrix, identify relevant subspaces in R^n, We then focus on the geometry of the matrix transformation by studying the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of matrices. These numbers are useful for both pure and applied concepts in mathematics, data science, machine learning, artificial intelligence, and dynamical systems. We will see an application of Markov Chains and the Google PageRank Algorithm at the end of the course....

Great course! Really explains every topic clearly. Go watch the 3Blue1Brown videos, they're the best

I learned an awful lot by spending extra time with the Georgia Tech textbook and keeping a notebook full of proofs and illustrations. The lectures got better as the course progressed. My only criticism is that for independent, self-paced learners like myself, having Coursera constantly remind me that I was overdue was very annoying. I wanted to actually learn the concepts, not memorize formulas. I did this by spending a *lot* of time independently with paper and pencil, and letting the intuitions soak in. At the end of the day I understood determinants well, something I had never done as an undergraduate math major. One surprising positive -- the AI Coach is terrific! I used it to give me pop quizzes, and answered the questions in detail, and the AI understood what I was saying. Great stuff.

It helps me to advance my knowledge and the way of teaching is just to the point, that's what i was looking for. I would say it would be great if their are more examples included.
