Idea
We need a dedicated projector for the Church room for presentations! The projectors in that room are pretty much completely broken. We should have a fundraiser where we teach linear algebra to a group of 5-10 dedicated paying students to raise that money.
Fundraising Goal
Somewhere between $200-$500.
Curriculum
I think we should base our curriculum on Gilbert Strang's course on MIT Opencourseware, but use R to do hands-on examples. (Feel free to edit!)
- Basics: Gaussian Elimination, LU Factorization, Inverses
- Vector Spaces: what they are, fundamental theorem of linear algebra
- Eigenvalues, Eigenvectors
- Applications: Principle Components Analysis
