On Reddit: "I took the course earlier this year and it's definitely a course I enjoyed. Like the name implies, it's a course that is centered around numerical algorithms for linear algebra problems. If you want to understand how these algorithms are implemented and their applications, this …"
On Reddit: "MATH3371 was fairly decent. I found it particularly interesting because I had a background in CS as well, so I treated it as "algorithms for linear algebra", but it's just how linear algebra is done on computers in the real world. You also talk about the performance characterist…"
