Description

Linear Algebra 5: Advanced Topics and Applications

This advanced Linear Algebra module explores the Spectral Theorem, Singular Value Decomposition (SVD), and QR factorization with a strong focus on real-world applications such as linear regression and image processing. Learners gain a deep understanding of matrix diagonalization, eigenvalue analysis, least-squares problems, and matrix conditioning. Emphasis is placed on computational techniques using Python’s NumPy and SciPy libraries, including solutions for large and sparse matrices. The course supports both theoretical foundations and practical implementation, making it ideal for students pursuing data science, engineering, or quantitative research fields. This is a self-paced, learn-by-doing course that builds strong analytical thinking.
