Linear algebra is a fundamental pillar of data science. In advanced models in data science, like neural networks, the inputs and transformations are based upon vectors, matrices, and tensors which require a reasonable understanding of linear algebra to get the desired results. It is elegant and the most applied mathematics under the umbrella of data science.

This course teaches linear algebra with a focus on data science. This course encompasses several engaging illustrations, including static images and animations. Furthermore, this course presents mathematical modeling through programming in Python. This course contains several executable coding playgrounds on real data sets and a final project with practical applications.

Aside from theoretical implementations, the modern-day world needs its daunting calculations, trajectory mapping, and distance manipulation, all of which linear algebra provides. By the end of this course, you’ll have a working knowledge of all the necessary teachings in linear algebra.

Linear Algebra for Data Science Using Python

We concluded our previous discussion about inconsistent linear systems by saying that no solution exists for such a system. However, there are scenarios in which it’s still important to find the solution for a system, even if it’s an approximate solution. Imagine a space travel company is landing its rocket booster back on earth. The company’s goal is to land the rocket on a platform floating on the sea. Assume that the mathematical model for this task is a linear system with variables like wind speed, rocket weight, and sea waves. The ideal case would be to land the rocket on the marker at the center of the platform.

Explore the idea of an approximate solution for an inconsistent linear system.
