110, Linear Algebra for Data Science, Spring 2023 Syllabus


Tuesday 27th December, 2022

0. Overview
Linear algebra is a basic mathematical skill for data science and machine learning because most data
and machine learning models can be described in terms of matrices. This course, Linear Algebra for
Data Science (데이터과학을 위한 선형대수학), provides knowledge on linear algebra with an emphasis on
matrix theories for data science. Students can take this course as an alternative to MAS109.
1. Contents
The course will cover

• How to solve a system of linear equations: matrix manipulations including Gaussian eliminations;
• How to abstract the solving procedure of linear equations: vector spaces, linear characterization of
vectors, linear transformations;
• How to obtain key features of matrices: determinants, eigenvalues and eigenvectors;
• How to approximately solve a system of linear equations: orthogonality, projections, least squares,
completing bases;
• How to factorize the data: singular value decomposition, principle components analysis, pseudo
inverses;
• How to summarize the data: covariance matrix, positive definiteness, convexity.

The lecture will also emphasize computation with large matrices by computers.
2. Lecture Notes: will be distributed via KLMS
