Linear Algebra

Transform Math Into Meaning: Explore the algebra of vector spaces and matrices through real-world applications in computer graphics and social network analysis. Starting with how images and objects are transformed in the plane and space, you will gain hands-on experience with core concepts. You’ll dive into the practical side of math by modeling social networks and analyzing connections on platforms like Facebook and Google.

Why Take This Course? Perfect for students interested in mathematics, computer science, or data analysis, this course will help you build problem-solving skills while providing a strong foundation in linear algebra with engaging, real-world applications.

Prerequisite: Geometry and Algebra II or the equivalents (no prior experience with this software or linear algebra is necessary)

Students in GOA courses will need reliable access to a computer with webcam/microphone connections, an email address (preferably school-based), a Web-conferencing app (GOA courses use Zoom), and a Word processing app (GOA courses use Google’s G Suite). When necessary, alternative arrangements may be made. Some courses require additional materials which can be found in the Course Outline.
