Linear Algebra, Data Science, and Machine Learning

This comprehensive course is designed to bridge the gap between mathematical theory and real-world applications in data science and machine learning. By combining linear algebra concepts with practical data analysis techniques, learners will gain the confidence to interpret algorithms, work with high-dimensional data, and implement machine learning models more effectively.

Course Overview

This course provides a structured and practical approach to mastering linear algebra and applying it directly to data science and machine learning workflows. You will begin with core mathematical concepts such as vectors, matrices, and linear transformations, then progress toward real-world applications including dimensionality reduction, optimization, and predictive modeling.

Rather than focusing on abstract theory alone, the course emphasizes intuition, visualization, and implementation. Learners will see how linear algebra powers popular machine learning techniques such as regression, classification, clustering, and neural networks.
