[WSG20] New Linear Algebra Daily Study Group begins Monday, October 12

A new study group devoted to linear algebra begins Monday! A list of daily topics can be found on our Daily Study Groups page. This group will be led by Wolfram certified instructor @Luke Titus and will meet daily, Monday to Friday, over the next three weeks. Luke will share the excellent short lesson videos created by @Devendra Kapadia for the Wolfram U course Introduction to Linear Algebra. Study group sessions include time for exercises, discussion and Q&A. Certifications are available. Sign up: https://wolfr.am/Q9qbTXu3

I've been looking forward to a refresher for a while. Very excited to sign up for this :)

Hi,

I am ahead of schedule and have finished the course on the Wolfram U website. Nevertheless, please check whether the expected answer to Problem 3 in Quiz 5 is really correct. I have some doubts.

In general, I want to say thank you to Jamie and her team for outstanding support and especially @Devendra Kapadia for the excellent preparation of the course.

Now I have to wait for my Level 1 - Certificates in Calculus and Linear Algebra.

Hello,

Very nice refresher! I'm happy to follow the lessons.

I suspect a typo in Lesson 6 about Sets with One vector.

v={0,0,0} was said to be linearly independent and v={2,4,7} was said to be linearly dependent. It should be the other way around.

This topic was in Quiz 1, so be careful classmates. :-)

Thank you for this question, @Shivam Sawarn. I'm glad to say that Multiparadigm Data Science Level 2 certification is now available. This is an advanced project-based certification. We have plans for additional certifications in the near future.

What are further levels in wolfram U courses if Level 1 is cleared?
POSTED BY: Shivam Sawarn

Thanks @Jamie Peterson for your help.

Still waiting for the support from someone.

Hi Devendra: Thank you for clarifying the confusion in quiz 2 problem 2. I love your videos. Thanks for making them available. G. Singh

Thanks, Devendra. But, I already answered the original question and submitted quiz2 scoring 100%..Do I need to re-take the quiz? That's double jeopardy (LOL).

POSTED BY: John P Clark

Hello Gurbax and John,

The text for Problem 2 in Quiz 2 has been modified so that it refers to "the matrix lu" rather than "the LU matrix" to indicate that the lower and upper triangular matrices can be constructed using lu (the matrix A is not given at all, but it can be reconstructed using the lower and upper triangular matrices and the permutation vector p).

Hope this helps. Sorry for the confusion.
POSTED BY: Devendra Kapadia

Thank you, Gurbax and John.

There is indeed an issue with this problem which is expected to be fixed soon.

I have the same concern as Gurbax. J. Clark

In quiz 2 problem 2, none of the multiple-choice, when multiplied, produces the matrix A. Can there be a typo? G. Singh

POSTED BY: Gurbax Singh

Agree.
POSTED BY: Jürgen Kanz

Hello Juergen,

Thank you for your encouraging comments about the study group and the course.

Regarding Problem 3 in Quiz 5, there is no clearcut "Yes" or "No" answer since the question mentions distinct eigenvectors rather than distinct eigenvalues for a 2X2 symmetric matrix. As a counterexample, one may note that any pair of linearly independent vectors in the plane are eigenvectors of IdentityMatrix[2] but they will, in general, not be orthogonal, so "not enough information" seems preferable as the answer.
POSTED BY: Devendra Kapadia

Hello,

Thank you for the clarification and quick reaction. Looking forward to the next daily studies and lessons.

Tomorrow at study group we'll be joined by our linear algebra course author @Devendra Kapadia during a special review session. (Review session starts 30 minutes prior to the regular start time.) See your reminder email for details, and see you there!
POSTED BY: Jamie Peterson

Problem solved. Thanks for support.
POSTED BY: Jürgen Kanz

Hello @Juergen Kanz. I do find your details on our registration list. I have resent the confirmation email to you. If it has not arrived, please send email to wolfram-u@wolfram.com. Then we will be able to confirm the email address for you.
POSTED BY: Jamie Peterson

Hi,

Please check. I still do not receive reminder emails and perhaps other course-related information.

Best Regards,

Juergen
