Linear Algebra for Data Science

4.0 credits · Undergraduate

An introduction to linear algebra for students interested in applications to data science. The course diverges from traditional linear algebra courses by emphasizing data science applications while teaching similar concepts. Key topics include matrices as data tables, high-dimensional datasets, singular value decomposition for data compression, and linear transformations in computer graphics. Students who take MATH 2310 may need more foundational coursework before pursuing further study in mathematics.
