Course description

Linear algebra plays a crucial role in many branches of applied science and pure mathematics. This course covers the core ideas of linear algebra and provides a solid foundation for future learning. Using geometric intuition as a starting point, the course journeys into the abstract aspects of linear algebra that make it so widely applicable. By the end you'll know about vector spaces, linear transformations, determinants, eigenvalues & eigenvectors, tensor & wedge products, and much more. The course also includes applications quizzes with topics drawn from such diverse areas as image compression, cryptography, error coding, chaos theory, and probability.
