WEEK 3

Solving Systems of Linear Equations

Let’s recap! In module 2, you learned how to explain different matrix algebra functions and perform matrix algebra on large data sets using Python. In module 3, you will learn how to solve systems of linear equations using several methods. We will cover the following learning objectives.

WEEK 4

Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors

Welcome to the final module of this course! Over the past 3 modules, you have been introduced to and gained knowledge on the following topics: determinants, inverses, matrix algebra with Python, row reduction and, systems of linear equations. In the final module of the course, you’ll apply what you’ve learned to concrete, real-world examples. You’ll practice using linear transformation, Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors, and solving applications. We will cover the following learning objectives.
