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.

Don't get me wrong the course has a lot of interesting contents and it's well structured and the instructor is quite good at teaching, but this course shouldn't be called "Matrix Algebra" this is a basic Linear Algebra course and you won't find any topic related to Matrix Algebra courses taught in universities. You won't find stuff such as Jordan Canonical Forms, Sylvester's law of inertia, Spectral Theorem, Other Matrix Decompositions, Generalized Eigenvectors, etc, etc. Anyway the course was great and I remembered few things that are important.

The course is well designed, Dont worry if you do not have previous algebra background. You will get everthing as the course proceed.

I had hoped to explore some additional linear algebra topics, but this course was of little use to me. (Poor explanation, poor instructional methods.) I couldn't follow simple examples as he explained them. Of all the linear algebra resources I've used thus far, compared to Youtube and various educational web pages, the content from this course was the worse, least helpful I've viewed. Those instructional content found elsewhere were very helpful.
