Determinants : The Foundation of Linear Algebra (Udemy.com)

Overall, the course met my expectations. It would have benefitted from more discussion of the geometric basis of the determinant and justification of the rules for differentiation and integration of determinants, though this latter discussion would have been beyond the scope of a short course and strayed into the realms of real analysis. The course is specialist in nature and requires a good general knowledge of linear algebra and calculus on the part of the student in order to benefit. The course focusses entirely on matrix determinants and does not touch on any other aspects of matrix algebra as suggested in the overview.

It could have been much shorter. Most of the second lesson was devoted to repeating unnecessary information. The example in lesson three should maybe have been expanded into finding minors and cofactors of different sized determinants rather than finding every minor and cofactor of a single determinant.

its to good to start ! thanks a lot to create this course for us!!!

Very organize. Highly trained professor.

I completely enjoy this course and the effort the instructor puts in to deliver the content. But for instance in Lesson 9, Properties of Determinants, Property 5 - I finally can see what is lacking. The course is a challenge with all the equations, and particularly the introductory rules that state what is to be proven with the explanatory equations and discussion. This is a given and the instructor is great in managing this chore. But what I wish is that we not just do a numeric demonstration of the validity, but we in each section we give a graphical representation of the scenario this particular property or rule or description applies to, and further emphasize the real world problem solving technique these properties/proofs enable. Put in another way, I am putting in the effort to understand and agree with each of the proofs given, but after I chew on this content all way, I still say to myself - what in the world do I do with this knowledge; I don't understand anything about it's application, and thus I will forget all the details about this Udemy course before the real world ever asks me to apply my understanding. To summarize this course, and possibly some of your others would be beyond epic if you could add some static graphical content that derives from the visual insights being delivered by - 1brown3blue youtube channel in his series "Essence of linear algebra". By the say in the 1B3BL series, he says the opposite, the minutia of punching out the calculations can be found elsewhere. But that is the challenge of the student - to move forward with all this and gain mastery. Thank you for listening.

Good course. So far it has helped me in understanding the concept of determinants. It would be great if the sound quality of the videos can be improved and the author can speak a little faster.

Very interesting course. Very well presented. Shilank Singh really knows his stuff. Thank you.
