⭐ Priority: MEDIUM
Session Goal
The session aimed to develop a comprehensive class structure for teaching linear transformations, integrating practical coding exercises to enhance understanding.
Key Activities
- Created a detailed outline for a 3-hour class on linear transformations, covering scaling, shearing, rotation, and affine transformations with Python exercises.
- Explained Python functions for 2D point transformations, detailing their purpose, inputs, outputs, and interactions.
- Integrated coding activities into the class structure to reinforce theoretical concepts through practical application.
- Planned teaching strategies for matrix inversion, focusing on definitions, importance, and calculation methods.
- Resolved and verified exercises on change of basis in B^3, including matrix construction and transformation verification.
- Addressed discrepancies in change of basis matrix applications, providing Python code for verification.
Achievements
- Successfully developed a structured class outline and integrated coding exercises for teaching linear transformations.
- Clarified the use and implementation of Python functions for 2D transformations and change of basis matrices.
Pending Tasks
- Further refinement of teaching materials and exercises to ensure clarity and engagement for students.
