This is the spring '13 Matrix analysis class wiki

Course description

This is the first ever course of its kind on Matrix Analysis. Matrices are generally awesome and since most of us use Matlab, it would help to know more about them.

Grading

Self-grading with solutions in class. Since this is the first time this class is being offered, the details are still under work.

Required background

Prerequisites are calculus, ordinary differential equations, basic probability and statistics, and linear algebra. Familiarity with programming in a high level language such as Matlab is also required.

Textbooks
