What I did today?

  • Lecture 9: Singular Value Decomposition - geometric interpretation
  • Lecture 10: Applications of SVD - least squares, pseudoinverse, PCA
  • Problem set: Least squares regression

SVD is the apex of linear algebra. Every matrix has an SVD. It reveals the geometry of the transformation in terms of rotations and scalings.
