Materials for LAFFing

For the full LAFF experience, there are three types of materials that you can download in addition to using Piazza as a discussion forum.

This is a project that is under construction. Some links in the notes may not work. Some of the videos may not be in the exact correct order.

The Videos (Optional):

You can watch the videos on YouTube by clicking on "YouTube" in "Notes to LAFF With". However, if YouTube is very busy (think: a billion people watching clips from the World Cup this summer...) or you have poor internet connectivity, you may want to download the videos instead.

Software

In this course, we provide a self-contained software platform in which we will be using IPython Notebooks to connect the programming of vector and matrix operations to the mathematics of linear algebra.

Piazza

We have set up a discussion board on Piazza.

We have now recovered enough that you will likely find us answering question on the forum. Still, we hope that participants will help one another by answering questions. Please be courteous. Think of the intended audience of the course when you answer questions (this is an introductory linear algebra course, not a course on differentiation over manifolds...).
