About the Course

This course is all about matrices, and concisely covers the linear algebra that an engineer should know. The mathematics in this course is presented at the level of an advanced high school student, but it is recommended that students take this course after completing a university-level single variable calculus course. There are no derivatives or integrals involved, but students are expected to have a basic level of mathematical maturity. Despite this, anyone interested in learning the basics of matrix algebra is welcome to join. The course consists of 38 concise lecture videos, each followed by a few problems to solve. After each major topic, there is a short practice quiz. Solutions to the problems and practice quizzes can be found in the instructor-provided lecture notes. The course spans four weeks, and at the end of each week, there is an assessed quiz.

With regards to my course and program, this was relevant. Although I was behind on some weeks, it was because some of the topics were not in concurrence with my course, but this course really helped.

This is a carefully sequenced, content-rich introduction to Matrices; beware skimming over details: eg. the use of matrix formalism to solve the least squares problem is little short of magic.

Thank you teacher.This course is a quick review of matrix algebra,have some experience with vectors and matrices.The goal of the review is to highlight basic notation,operations,and matrix manipulations that are used frequently in fields machine learning.

Very good course, I've done bits of matrix algebra before but wanted a nice refresher for my needs and this gave me that. Week 3 is a tough one but the mix of short videos and lots of examples helped me through it. The pdf lecture notes are very helpful.

This course provided an excellent overview of key topics in linear algebra. I find linear algebra, generally, to be a subject where my eyes quickly glaze over and I fall asleep. I'm very grateful to Prof Chasnov for making this content more accessible.

Very helpful course! The Professor gives a clear and easy-to-understood explanation of the basics of matrix algebra and also gives some application examples to help students understand the theory. The course is well taught and I benefit a lot from it!

les vidéos sont parfois un peu difficile à comprendre si on ne parle pas bien anglais , mais les exercices à réaliser au fur et à mesure permettent de voir si on a bien compris une notion que l'on à essayer de comprendre autre part que sur coursera

Very well arranged and informative. Jeff patiently and effectively discusses the subject matter. The quizzes are challenging without being overly hard or easy. They are also very well crafted to support the information that Jeff previously provided.

It is a really nice course, mixing good content and examples within the lectures. It challenges you with exercises that will let you reinforce your knowledge. I couldn't have this course on my degree and I needed it. Also really great professor.

Prof Jeff Chasnov really makes Matrix Algebra easy to learn through his informal but rigorous approach. This is the best matrix algebra course, and is especially important if you're interested in going deep into Machine Learning / Deep Learning.

Well taught fundamentals course. Some basic knowledge of vectors and matrices will be helpful but no advanced knowledge required and there is a PDF available to download that follows the syllabus and can be used to check practice quiz answers.

Great course with lucid explanations! Loved the learning experience. Particularly, the practice problems at every stage helped build the concepts well and the simple & easy explanations by Dr. Chasnov made it an enjoyable learning experience!

As someone who did little maths beyond high school, I could follow this course well while still learning many new things and feeling challenged. The exercises strike a good balance between the more abstract concepts and concrete examples.

Briskly-paced overview of matrix algebra, not just for engineers but focussed more on applications than the pure mathematics. Ideal if you want to revise or extend your knowledge of the topic, might be a steep curve if its all new to you.

One of the best Matrix Algebra courses on Coursera. Very deep, thorough, and clear explanations of all the different approaches and methods of how to solve different types of matrices!! The instructor is also one of the best on Coursera.

I thought I knew linear algebra, but with finishing this course, I learned that I hadn't knew this mathematical topic. I should thank the instructor for his effort to teach everything as simple as possible and to elucidate every lesson.

Excellent course, very clear and with enough examples. at the beginning it was quite difficult however it took a couple of sessions to be in shape. I am eager to take another course from Dr. Chesnov. Thanks for this excellent course!

Un buen curso para la persona que quiere tanto empezar a aprender la materia, como para recordar partes vitales de el curso, lo recomiendo mucho, y ahora mas con los subtítulos que le han implementado para la gente de habla latina.

Absolutely neatly organized and stunning! I was a self-learner and I found it really easy to follow. It kind of made me believe in the whole idea of MOOC! I will definitely take other courses starring prof. Chasnov in the future.
