I loved the course! Super interesting material, but Kerr's delivery of teaching did not really mesh with my methods of learning, so I found myself studying from the book a lot of the time.

Learn about matrix transformations, Diagonalization of matrices, and Approximating inconsistent matrices.

Pros- Smart dude who can explain things well in Office hours Cons- Not too good with large groups. -At times it seems that he thinks the material should come to you as easily as it comes to him now, a guy with a mathematics PhD.

Your book and office hours are your friend! Oh and Piazza posts talking about practice exams. They come in clutch.
