7 Linear Algebra in R

The previous chapter introduced an efficient and effective reporting approach using R Markdown. Part 1 of this book essentially covered the practical aspects of getting things done using R. Part 2 of this book goes back to the fundamentals, covering two essential pillars of mathematics: linear algebra and calculus. Understanding these basics will better prepare us to appreciate and work with common mathematical operations to the point that these operations feel natural to us. Part 2 aims to develop that level of literacy, starting with a fundamental review of linear algebra with R in this chapter.

By the end of this chapter, you will have learned about the basic concepts of linear algebra, including vectors, matrices, and ...
