Synopsis

They made it possible that a computer can recognize faces. They made it possible that you can find anything on the web in a matter of seconds. And they made it possible that one can actually calculate what “King – Man + Woman” is. – People who successfully tackled real world problems with Linear Algebra. But as fascinating as those applications may be, they also contrast the rather boring way this branch of mathematics is usually taught. In school and university, students are mostly confronted with mathematical problems that only exist as an end in itself. Having to solve such problems can be horribly demotivating, since they oftentimes miss out on informing about possible applicative contexts. However, in this book, we turn the syllabus upside-down: Application first! - We will face 5 different problems, start at zero and work our way up, through concepts of Linear Algebra, to the solution. In this book, you will ... ... discover the workings behind Hill Cipher by learning about vectors, matrices, inverses, and determinants... learn about one of the most important tools in econometrics and put it into action by building a house price prediction model. Along the way, you will learn about the concepts of orthogonality and projections... see how you could have made billions just 2 decades ago by revolutionizing web-search with Markov matrices, eigenvectors, and the Perron-Frobenius Theorem... detect structures in images and texts by learning about the singular value decomposition.Are you ready to solve your first interesting mathematical problem?
