Course Description

Save a bundle and receive 30% off the individual course rate when you register for both MATH 215 and MATH 216.

These courses are aimed at students with diverse backgrounds. It covers the content of a standard textbook: linear systems, vectors and matrices, dimensions and bases of vector spaces, eigenvalues and eigenvectors, and singular value decomposition. It is also dedicated to explaining applications of these linear algebra concepts in classic analysis methods as well as state-of-the-art statistical inference and machine learning approaches. In the application portion of the courses we will strive to tailor the content to the interests and research needs of the students.

Bundle Courses:

MATH 215 | Introduction to Linear Algebra With Applications in Statistics, Part 1

MATH 216 | Introduction to Linear Algebra With Applications in Statistics, Part 2

Learner Outcomes

When you complete these courses successfully, you will be able to:

  • Perform systems linear equations and their matrix representation
  • Apply the concept of vector spaces, subspaces, and linear dependence
  • Compute the orthogonality and projection for subspaces
  • Explain statistical methods based on linear models
  •  Demonstrate the calculations of eigenvalues and eigenvectors
  • Carry out matrix diagonalization and positive definite matrices
  • Explain the singular value decomposition (SVD) and principal component analysis (PCA)
  • Apply linear algebra in statistics
