  • Reading for class 2
  • Linear algebra topics you should be familiar with before class 2 (16 September):
    • matrix multiplication
    • that matrix multiplication of a vector by a matrix is a transformation from one coordinate system to another (we will review this in class)
    • linear combinations (we will review this in class)
    • the dot product of 2 vectors, and that they are related by the cosine of the angle between them
  • Optimization theory you should be familiar with before class 2 (16 September):
