By Prof. Vivek K. Aggarwal, Prof. Mani Mehra | IIT Delhi

Learners enrolled: 559

ABOUT THE COURSE:
This course deals with applications of matrices to a wide range of areas of engineering and science. Initial some basics of linear algebra is discussed followed by matrix norms and sensitivity and condition number of the matrices. In this course , we will also discuss psudo-inverse of a matrix of any dimension (m x n) using Moore- Penrose theorem. Singular value decomposition of a general matrix is also discussed along with applications. Householder transformations, QR factorization will also be covered.

INTENDED AUDIENCE :UG/PG

PRE-REQUISITES : Some knowledge of matrix theory

INDUSTRY SUPPORT : Any software/financial industry will be interested.

Please check the form for more details on the cities where the exams will be held, the conditions you agree to when you fill the form etc.

CRITERIA TO GET A CERTIFICATE

Average assignment score = 25% of average of best 8 assignments out of the total 12 assignments given in the course.
Exam score = 75% of the proctored certification exam score out of 100

Final score = Average assignment score + Exam score

YOU WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR A CERTIFICATE ONLY IF AVERAGE ASSIGNMENT SCORE >=10/25 AND EXAM SCORE >= 30/75. If one of the 2 criteria is not met, you will not get the certificate even if the Final score >= 40/100.

Certificate will have your name, photograph and the score in the final exam with the breakup.It will have the logos of NPTEL and IIT Madras .It will be e-verifiable at nptel.ac.in/noc.

Only the e-certificate will be made available. Hard copies will not be dispatched.

Once again, thanks for your interest in our online courses and certification. Happy learning.
