There are tons of applications of linear algebra. I plan to bring some up in class, especially as we get deeper into the course. But it’d be good to get a sense of what sort of applications people might interested in hearing about. Computer science? Engineering? What areas within those broad categories?

Take a look at these links for an idea of the applications of linear algebra within various areas of computer science:

“Coding the Matrix” (a free online course coming up in June)
https://www.coursera.org/course/matrix

which will be taught by (and based on this textbook by) a Brown Univ CS prof:

Remember this online course I mentioned a few times during the semester? It just started last week..and I created an OpenLab project in case anyone is interested in actually taking the course:

here’s an initial post with some FAQs:

Join the OpenLab project in case you’re at all interested…I’ll be posting more about it there soon.
