LinearAlgebraFundraiser

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 or NumPyto 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

Who

Put your name down here if you want to help out and what you want to help with.

• Mike S: basics, eigenvalues, PCA, R stuff
