MA 574 FOUNDATIONAL MATHEMATICS FOR DATA SCIENCE (3)

August 18, 2022

This course provides students with the essential background in calculus and linear algebra needed to pursue the study of Data Science. Topics include limits, derivatives and integrals of (multivariable) functions; vectors and matrices; vector spaces and subspaces; norms and projections; basis and dimension; eigenvalues and eigenvectors; singular values; continuous optimization; and maps between Euclidean spaces and Jacobians. Throughout, various applications to Data Science will be considered, with hands-on numerical and coding exercises supplementing the theory.
