### #004 Linear Algebra – The determinant

Highlight: In this post we will explain what the determinant is and why we use it in linear algebra. We will give an interpretation of a determinant both in a 2-D and in a 3-D space. Also, we will show how to implement these calculations in Python. Tutorial Overview: Determinant in a 2-D coordinate system Determinant in a 3-D coordinate system 1. Determinant in a 2-D coordinate system In the previous post we saw how…

### #003 Linear Algebra – Linear transformations and matrices

Highlight: Hello and welcome back! This post will be quite an interesting one. We will show how a 2D plane can be transformed into another one. Understanding these concepts is a crucial step for some more advanced linear algebra/machine learning methods (e.g. SVD, PCA). So, let’s proceed and we will learn how to connect a matrix-vector multiplication with a linear transformation. Tutorial Overview: Linear transformation Linear transformation and basis vectors 2×2 Matrix as a linear…
