Linear Algebra for Machine Learning: An Introduction

If you've started looking into behind the scenes of popular machine learning algorithms, you might have come across the term "linear algebra". The term seems scary, but it isn't really so. Many of the machine learning algorithms rely on linear algebra because it provides the ability to "vectorize" them, making them computationally fast and efficient. Linear algebra is a vast branch of Mathematics, and not all of its knowledge is required in understanding and building machine learning algorithms, so our focus will be on the basic topics related to machine learning. NumPy implementations for each of the operations are also included at the end of each topic.
