MATH 2170 - Applied Linear Algebra

3 Credit(s) | $8.25 Fee

Introduction to applied linear algebra with emphasis on applications. Vectors, inner products, linear independence, orthonormal sets, Gram-Schmidt algorithm, applications to document analysis. Clustering and the k-means algorithm. Matrix algebra, left and right inverses, QR factorization, linear dynamical systems. Least-squares and data fitting. Additional applications may include regularization, cross-validation, constrained least-squares, time-series prediction, and portfolio optimization. Students will use Python throughout this course.
