Linear Algebra: Matrix Algebra, Determinants, & Eigenvectors

About this Course

This course is the second course in the Linear Algebra Specialization. In this course, we continue to develop the techniques and theory to study matrices as special linear transformations (functions) on vectors. In particular, we develop techniques to manipulate matrices algebraically. This will allow us to better analyze and solve systems of linear equations. Furthermore, the definitions and theorems presented in the course allow use to identify the properties of an invertible matrix, identify relevant subspaces in R^n, We then focus on the geometry of the matrix transformation by studying the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of matrices. These numbers are useful for both pure and applied concepts in mathematics, data science, machine learning, artificial intelligence, and dynamical systems. We will see an application of Markov Chains and the Google PageRank Algorithm at the end of the course.
