课程概述

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, such as the Coursera offering Calculus for Engineers. 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. Download the lecture notes from the link https://www.math.hkust.edu.hk/~machas/matrix-algebra-for-engineers.pdf And watch the promotional video from the link https://youtu.be/IZcyZHomFQc...

Very well-prepared and presented course on matrix/linear algebra operations, with emphasis on engineering considerations. Lecture notes with examples in PDF form are especially helpful.

Some part.,e.g., row and column sub-spaces, orthogonal projections, were very abstract. Intended for the purist ?

Found it tricky to determine linearly independent relations in matrix form.

Seemed like a bit of big step change between the lecture examples and some of the problems.

The practice exercises and quizzes were a good idea; again one or two seemed very theoretical. But they do help in the understanding of the material via more concrete examples, in the main.

Thank you it was an overall enjoyable experience even though a bit taxing in parts.

Great course. Great instructor. Just a bit of lost feeling for some concepts/formulas whose use is said some videos later. For a few moments I felt like not knowing where we were going to, and for me that's important. Other than that, i strongly recommend this corse. It has all the important concepts for applying linear algebra and matrices on engineering and other science fields, and the instructor explains them in a very understandable way.

A good refresher course on matrices. learnt a lot. the course would be much more beneficial, if number of examples and problems are increased. also the professor needs to demonstration the matrix operations graphically, as it becomes sometimes hard to grasp the abstract concepts. week 3 is the hardest and need further explanation as well. i had to struggle with the quiz of week 3 a lot.

Overall a good course. Want the following improvements:

1. Cover topics in vectors (dot product, cross product, scalar triple products)

2. Use MATLAB to and show more realistic examples that can be applied to real life engineering and science applications. After all, this class is called: "Matrix Algebra for Engineers".

Thank you professor Jeff for your teaching.

Sincerely,

Shulin

I enjoying this course, a lot of explanation can we get here, but sometimes there's an explanation that i don't really understand, so i searched more in google, buat overall this course is good, and i like the exercises and the way its showing the explanation in the answer section on the e-book, and the e-book is good too.

I strongly recommend this course to students who want to study Machine Learning. I did this course in parallel to the Stanford University Machine Learning on Coursera. This algebra course is crucial for students to understand how gradient descent, principal component analysis, and linear regression work.

Covers the problem solving aspects of linear algebra. If your aim is to get better at solving linear algebra numerical, this course is very useful. If however, you are looking for an intuitive understanding, try the course offered by Imperial College instead.

I loved the content and the tests, although some of the concepts could benefit from a slightly deeper explanation. For example, going from a 2X2 matrix in an example to a 4X4 matrix on the test can be daunting.

This course is an easily achievable course, it has several challenging topics which are taught thoroughly without any complications. These videos are made audience friendly and it's a generous offer in Coursera.

I am finding this course very useful as a refresher. This course does cover most of the concepts needed and used in engineering. I sincerely thank the professor and his team for making this course happen.

Great course overall, really helped to review many topics. I wish they talked more about the physical representation of matrices and vectors, but besides that, this course was great!

A very nice course, however in some topics if there were more examples it would have been more clear, Furthermore, it was very hard to finish the course in 4 weeks.

This course is not only very helpful for engineers but also helpful for under Graduate students.

I like "Gram-schmidt orthogonalization process" based lecture.

It was excellent course and also great teacher But here a little suggestion that in notes, concepts and problems could be explain in more detailed manner

It is more suitable for a quick review. It might not be good for a complete beginner. Too many definitions, too few explanations. The space is very fast.

Good course, it was really informative, if some numerical methods were to be included it would enhance quality of course.

Thank you Professor Jeff Chasnov

I thought it would be helpful if we were given more practice problems to do on our own so that we understand the material better.

Good, but would have appreciated slides instead of just pdf, and tests are too much on manual calculus instead of thinking...

the more abstract side of algebra is important. without that side it is hard to know when to use the stuff you taught us
