COMP2027 Applied Linear Algebra for Computing (3 units)
- Prerequisite:
- MATH1025 Understanding Mathematics and Statistics or MATH2005 Calculus, Probability and Statistics for Computer Science
- Medium of Instruction:
- English
This course studies various linear algebra topics such as vectors, matrices, linear equations, eigenvalues, eigenvectors, matrix factorizations, singular value decomposition, optimization problems, curve fitting, and software packages for these problems. Emphasis is given to understanding the nature of these problems, and using mathematical tools to solve the problems. Applications of these problems in computer science fields such as machine learning, data analytics, computer graphics, and pattern recognition will be introduced.
