Winter 2020: MATH 380: A Second Course in Linear Algebra – an excellent choice for CSE Majors interested in ML or Computer vision

MATH 380: A Second Course in Linear Algebra will be offered for the first time next quarter (and again in the spring). It is a follow-on to MATH 308 and will pick up where MATH 308 left off.

Linear algebra has a tremendous number of applications in computer science. These applications range from being a foundational topic for fields like machine learning or computer vision to subtler applications like helping us understand the structure of social networks or knowledge graphs. MATH 308 is a good starting point for understanding linear algebra, but there is so much more to explore! MATH 380 is a new follow-on course to MATH 308 to deepen your understanding of the applications of linear algebra to various fields. In this class, you will see a wide variety of these applications while also developing theory beyond MATH 308.

If you are a Math minor, this class could be a good course to consider since the topics covered are so applicable to CS!
