Applied Linear Algebra

Prerequisite: MAT1214/MAT1213 Calculus I

This comprehensive course in linear algebra provides an in-depth exploration of core concepts and their applications to optimization, data analysis, and neural networks. Students will gain a strong foundation in the fundamental notions of linear systems of equations, vectors, and matrices, as well as advanced topics such as eigenvalues, eigenvectors, and canonical solutions to linear systems of differential equations. The course also explores he critical techniques of calculus operations in vectors and matrices, optimization, and Taylor series in one and multiple variables. By the end of the course, students will have a thorough understanding of the mathematical framework underlying principal component analysis, gradient descent, and the implementation of simple neural networks.

The primary textbook is "Mathematics for Machine Learning" by Deisenroth, Faisal, and Ong, 2020, Cambridge University Press. The book is available for free for personal use at https://mml-book.github.io/book/mml-book.pdf
