Linear Algebra is the mathematical backbone of modern Artificial Intelligence. Every operation in Machine Learning, Deep Learning, and Generative AI — from data representations to neural network computations and attention mechanisms — is fundamentally built on vectors, matrices, and linear transformations. This course is designed to provide a deep, intuitive, and application-driven mastery of linear algebra, tailored specifically for AI practitioners.
The course begins with the foundations: vectors, vector spaces, norms, and matrix operations, ensuring learners develop strong computational fluency. You will then progress to systems of linear equations, matrix factorizations, and geometric interpretations that explain how data and models behave in high-dimensional spaces.
As you advance, the course covers eigenvalues, eigenvectors, singular value decomposition (SVD), and principal component analysis (PCA) — concepts that are central to dimensionality reduction, data compression, recommender systems, and representation learning. You will see how these ideas extend directly into deep learning architectures and transformer-based generative models, where embeddings, projections, and attention rely heavily on linear algebraic operations.
By the end of this course, learners will not only be able to perform linear algebra computations, but will also think geometrically and algebraically about AI systems, enabling them to understand, debug, and innovate on advanced ML, DL, and GenAI models.
After completing this course, learners will be able to:
