Tensors have been increasingly used in data-intensive fields such as artificial intelligence and quantum computing. This course covers the notations, optimization and statistical methods of tensor computation, and their applications in machine learning (mainly deep learning) and quantum computing.

Prerequisites: Solid background in linear algebra and statitics/probability, basic programing skills.

The final was pretty difficult and the homework questions didn't really prepare you for it honestly (it did for some stuff but he for sure kinda left us stranded with no on-par difficulty practice problems). His slides are honestly really bad so definitely just read the textbook (which is great). Content was fun, final was just evil. TAs were cool.

Overall a very bad professor. Homework and ta section practice problems were a joke compared to the difficulty of the midterm and final. I was left ill prepared for exams. Also a very boring guy with boring lectures.

Ok lecturer, midterms and final were alright. Tough homework grading so check everything. He has a really awkward grading policy for exams where you get very little partial credit in part b and c of the problem if you got the part a even slightly wrong, so you need to be really careful(which I wasn't)

As both a former student and TA for this class, the best advice I can give is to take advantage of his lecture material. If you don't like his lecture style, his slides are extremely thorough and helpful to have up when doing your hw alongside the textbook. Yes it's a lot of work, but once things click you can solve problems at a much faster pace.

Everything was open notes so was relatively easy. Do all the homework and make sure you have a good grasp on the material and you'll be fine. Quizzes and tests are time crunch but got good curve.

This professor sent an email at 11:37 pm the day before our midterm to tell us whether or not the test will be online. My advice to anyone who wants to take this class is to be prepared for these type of situations. He's a decent professor, but please be wary that he might procrastinate sending important information regarding midterms & finals.
