Session Goal
The primary objective of this session was to develop and organize a comprehensive curriculum for a Linear Algebra course, integrating practical programming exercises using Python and MATLAB to enhance the theoretical understanding of mathematical concepts.
Key Activities
- Explored the arithmetic of floating-point numbers in Python, focusing on their representation and implications for numerical calculations.
- Outlined a series of classes and laboratory exercises on vector spaces, subspaces, and linear transformations, utilizing Python and MATLAB.
- Reorganized course content to include practical activities on singular value decomposition (SVD), matrix multiplication, norms, and orthogonal projections.
- Compared different course proposals for linear arguments and developed a unified course structure for Linear Algebra and Numerical Methods.
Achievements
- Successfully structured a detailed curriculum for a Linear Algebra course, covering fundamental concepts like vector spaces and transformations, along with practical applications.
- Integrated Python and MATLAB exercises to facilitate hands-on learning and better comprehension of theoretical concepts.
Pending Tasks
- Finalize the integration of exercises into the first class of the Linear Algebra course, ensuring a balance between theory and practice.
- Develop additional resources and materials to support the course curriculum, focusing on interactive and engaging content.
