Standards used to tag content by CuratedCourses

The file

linear-algebra/topic-list.yaml

contains a reasonably complete list of topics for an introductory course in linear algebra.

The purpose of the list is for tagging educational resources to help facilitate the discovery of useful material. In order to address all possible perspectives, the list intentionally contains mutliple opposing viewpoints. For example, there are two possible ways of defining linear independence. Once one way is chosen, then it is a theorem that the other possibility is equivalent. The list contains both options as definitions, and both options as theorems.

The goal is not to give a Bourbaki-style formulation of linear algebra, so topics are only stated with sufficient precision to allow unambiguous tagging of videos, exercises, quizzes, sections of books, etc.

Similarly, the file

linear-algebra/outcome-list.yaml

contains a reasonably complete list of outcomes for an introductory course in linear algebra.

The naming schemes for topic and outcomes are given in

linear-algebra/topicscheme.txt

linear-algebra/outcomescheme.txt
