"It is the first ever numerical linear algebra course, to our knowledge, to be completely centered around practical applications and to use cutting edge algorithms and tools, including PyTorch, Numba, and randomized SVD. ...<p>This course uses the same top down, code first, application centered teaching method as we used in our Practical Deep Learning for Coders course ... We have been inspired by Harvard professor David Perkin’s baseball analogy. We don’t require kids to memorize all the rules of baseball and understand all the technical details before we let them have fun and play the game."
