About the Course

Mathematical Matrix Methods lie at the root of most methods of machine learning and data analysis of tabular data. Learn the basics of Matrix Methods, including matrix-matrix multiplication, solving linear equations, orthogonality, and best least squares approximation. Discover the Singular Value Decomposition that plays a fundamental role in dimensionality reduction, Principal Component Analysis, and noise reduction. Optional examples using Python are used to illustrate the concepts and allow the learner to experiment with the algorithms....

This Course content is very good and has good real-time examples. However, the Instructor should add a few videos on SVD, Maximum dilation, and Shrinkage and Direction of Maximum Dilation.

I came from a statistics background and had little experience explicitly interpreting Matrix Algebra as vectors more from the viewpoint of physics. It was an excellent review for me and I buzzed through it in a few days. After retiring I walked away from math, but the course made me remember why I went down that road. I recommend this class.

Pros and cons.

Sometimes it's hard to find in this course needed information to solve Assignments.

But you have to dig deeper from outside sources.

The lectures could be more engaging and more topics could certainly be covered. This course on matrix is too sparse!! Also, strangely, there were no lectures for the final week - only links were provided for reading materials.

The topics of the course are good, nevertheless, the videos need explain all the topics in detail because, sometimes is hard to understand just reading the pdf materials.

Great examples and a lot of reading material. More videos on SVD would have helped

i feel there should be solved examples for learners,,

I found the course very unbalanced and without much effort applied to it.

Some parts were easy to understand - the worked examples helped a lot, while others, with less videos and based on links, required a lot of work, namely because of the specific terminology used.

Some of the critical links, namely for those sections without videos, are not working anymore, which definitely was a cause of major waste of time looking for additional resources, that were not even using some of the key terminology as that used in the assignments.

As cited by many other people, tutor(s) were not seen in any of the Forum Q&A.

This is not a course I would have taken had I known otherwise.

I wouldn't take this course. I would give a 1 star review if I wasn't so desperate for courses on linear algebra. I'm happy with the methods covered, and I found the first 2 weeks useful practice. However, it seems like the professor spent about 2 hours making the course. There's only about 30 minutes of content, with most of the learning coming from self-study of linked content on other websites. And week 5 doesn't even have any videos, just links to someone else's tutorials.

I did learn some things, so I hate to review the course harshly, but there were numerous errors in the quizzes which have been there for a long time (based on forum comments) and have not been addressed. If completely redone and troubleshot the course has potential but as it stands it really isn't up to Coursera standards.

the course topics are interesting, unfortunately a video on week 5 would have been very important.

there are several errors in the test which made completing the test unnecessary difficult.
