We provide guidance on what to study for those starting AI development.
Beginner
Python, Machine Learning(ML), Deep Learning(DL)
Linear Algebra in One Go. Learn linear algebra concepts in detail—concepts that, once learned, will serve as the building blocks for your thinking for a lifetime. Going beyond simple explanations, we kindly guide you through practical exercises to show you how to apply them in real-world situations.

Data analysis using linear algebra knowledge based on data
How to deal with getting stuck during AI development
How to Read Complex Equations in AI Papers
Whenever equations appeared while reading AI papers, I skipped them all.
When I asked AI a question, I was overwhelmed by the flood of answers it gave me.
The more I study linear algebra, the more I feel like I’m getting farther away from AI.
I wanted to study linear algebra, but there’s so much material.
I did study it, but it feels like the knowledge isn’t accumulating and is instead scattering like grains of sand.
Why do we feel confused whenever we encounter linear algebra in the field of AI, even though we studied it?
It’s not because you come from a liberal arts background, nor because you didn’t work hard enough.
It’s important to connect the concepts of linear algebra with AI concepts.
<Understanding the meaning is more important than solving problems!>
Solving linear algebra problems on paper helps you understand the concepts.
However, solving a problem does not necessarily mean that you understand the concept.
This is not a course that teaches you techniques for solving math problems.
It is a course that explains what the answer you arrived at means.
Our goal is not to understand the detailed concepts.
We will show you how each concept connects to AI and
how it is used when developing or studying AI.
Even if you can eloquently rattle off linear algebra concepts, they are meaningless if you cannot apply them in practice.
You clearly think you understand them, but
the moment you sit in front of the keyboard, your fingers freeze.
Practice linear algebra concepts firsthand through Python exercises.
We will load and practice with real-world data using the Pandas library.
Use the Numpy library to practice and apply various concepts of linear algebra.
Compare machine learning results using the Scikit-Learn library with linear algebra.
Visualize abstract linear algebra concepts using the Matplotlib library.
<Python exercises will also be conducted>
Whenever linear algebra came up in books or papers, I too had moments when I wanted to
avoid it. I also wondered,
"Can I understand this just by studying it?"
and found myself thinking about it.
Still, I didn’t give up and spent a long time thinking about it.
As a result, I know better than anyone what makes it difficult.
And by teaching countless students,
I confirmed that the knowledge I had distilled was getting through.
<My Graduate School Years, Constantly Struggling to Understand Linear Algebra>
Among the people around me who study AI, I felt sorry whenever I saw those who decided to study linear algebra and started reading
thick university textbooks from the beginning, so I created this course.
I left out concepts you may use only once in your lifetime, if ever and kept only the essential ones.
Whenever a new AI feature appeared, did you start studying from scratch?
Is new AI really something entirely new?
Once you learn the concepts of linear algebra, you no longer need to be swayed by new terminology.
Even when new AI emerges, it’s something you already know.
<Know-how accumulated through years of in-person lectures>
Through years of offline lectures, we know the points where you have questions.
Bootcamp students to Samsung Electronics employees,
we have incorporated all the diverse questions we received from a wide range of students into the course.
Linear Algebra with Python for AI Development grows with you.
Linear algebra that you haven't been able to start because it seemed difficult.
It will become a reliable lifelong asset for you.
Who is this course right for?
Developers and job seekers who want to build a strong foundation in AI development knowledge
Developers and job seekers who have experienced the limitations of AI-generated code outputs
A working developer who always skipped the equations when reading AI-related papers
Developers and job seekers who don’t feel like they’re improving their skills
Those who have made efforts but were disappointed with the results because they were heading in the wrong direction
Need to know before starting?

Hello, I am Cheolwon Jang.
After majoring in statistics, I worked in data analysis, IT security, and AI development,
and I am currently involved in AI development education and software development.
I create lectures that connect complex theories to practical applications and explain them easily. 😊
