Linear algebra is of primary importance in machine learning and it gives us an array of tools that are especially handy for the purpose of manipulating data and extracting patterns from it. Moreover, when data must be processed in batches as in much machine learning, great runtime efficiencies are gained from using the "vectorized" form as an alternative to traditional looping constructs when implementing software solutions in optimization or data pre-processing or any number of operations in analytics.
We will consider only the domain of real numbers in what follows. Thus, a vector
represents an array of n real-valued ...
