Linear Algebra For Computer Science, M. Thulasidas Dec 2021

Linear Algebra For Computer Science, M. Thulasidas

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

This textbook introduces the essential concepts and practice of Linear Algebra to the undergraduate student of computer science. The focus of this book is on the elegance and beauty of the numerical techniques and algorithms originating from Linear Algebra. As a practical handbook for computer and data scientists, LA4CS restricts itself mostly to real fields and tractable discourses, rather than deep and theoretical mathematics.

This book has its origin in my experience teaching Linear Algebra to Computer Science students at Singapore Management University. Traditionally, Linear Algebra is taught as a pure mathematics course, almost as an afterthought, not fully integrated with any other applied curriculum. It certainly was taught that way to me. The course I was teaching, however, had a definite pedagogical objective of bringing out the applicability and the usefulness of Linear Algebra in Computer Science, which is nothing but applied mathematics. In today’s age of machine learning and artificial intelligence, Linear Algebra is the branch of mathematics that holds the most …
