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, 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.

This class was well done overall. The videos were mostly the right length, very well done and real reasons for learning things were made available.

The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because I found several times that information seemed to be lacking, especially in the solutions to the problems. At a high level often the process being taught wasn't what was used in the solutions and it was common to be a trick which was fun to see, but when struggling to understand the concept a fully step by step example would have been much better. I missed a problem on one of the quizzes because I didn't understand how something came together, but I did figure it out later, but it was because the exercise was just to simplified and not worked out for me to see the method.

I also found that at least for me the time spent was much longer than estimated. Sure I haven't done much real math in a long time, but I didn't expect things to be quite so difficult to keep up with on time as it was and it stemmed from not having clear examples with enough details and left to do research on my own to fill in some gaps. Occasionally in a future video after a problem set, something was made clear, but by then I often researched and found the info on my own, leading to perhaps a slightly out of order or lack of organization around the videos.
