7 years ago Thanks for your feedback. You bring up some good points and I will have to consider them carefully. We want students to know Linear Algebra is important for Robotics. To succeed they will need to know it. I will have to think about this.
Quiz 1 - Transformed Point That's perhaps too basic to be introduced here again considering this is what the quizzes on the ankle location/coordinates were about to an extent.
Quiz 2 and 3
As I mentioned in my previous lecture's report, I don't think rotation matrices should be introduced casually like this.
As I said, I have taken courses on kinematics and computer vision which cover these topics (rotation, translation, transformation matrices) as the building blocks for the rest of the course, but not in any other standalone [math] course.
Maybe it's a considerable topic covered in Linear Algebra, so I might be wrong here. But if you plan to have the course for students from like high school or community college or first 2 years of college [as you said in the email], this might not be the most appropriate way to cover rotation matrices as per me and might confuse them more.
I have covered those topics so I can understand how they can be intuition based questions. But I am concerned my opinion is then biased and not reflecting from the PoV of someone not experienced.
Open for discussion to what you think about this.
