You do not need to have seen any linear algebra before; we will develop it from scratch. In the course you'll do some very simple programming in Python, so you should have seen some very basic simple programming.
The goal of this course is to introduce you to the basic ideas of vectors, matrices, matrix multiplication, and linear algebra. We hope that you'll learn how linear algebra is all around you, and how it is used in zillions of applications.
