Class preparation
- 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 (read the first section of that website: 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 (see the geometric interpretation section)
- Optimization theory you should be familiar with before class 2 (16 September):
- how an optimization problem is written
- the Lagrange multiplier principle for solving simple, equality constrained optimization problems
