Linear Algebra - Welcome to the Matrix!
Details
This is an introduction to linear algebra requiring no previous math experience.
Along with some history, we will tackle several major topics (e.g., matrices, determinants, subspaces, eigenvectors, projections, and cryptography). We will find "solutions" to unsolvable problems and learn to think mathematically in higher dimensions. (Sadly, visualizing 5-dimensional objects will remain elusive). Already a workhouse of our data-driven digital society, linear algebra
has become even more relevant with the advent of Large Language Model (LLM)-based Artificial Intelligence. Welcome to the Matrix!
FOUR SESSIONS: Fridays, 3/6, 3/13, 3/20, 3/27
(The classes will build on each other, but it’s fine if you miss one or more, I’ll have handouts and time for questions each class.)
In the Cumberland Business Incubator classroom (next door to RSCC)
2569 Cook Road, Crossville TN
There is a class limit of 20. This event is part of the Roane State Community College Center for Lifelong Learning and you’ll need to register to attend. It’s $20 for the Spring semester or $40 for the next year (this includes other classes if there are others you want to take.) I’m a volunteer presenter this semester. See www.Roanestate.edu/CLL for more details and to register.
