About the Book

"Linear Algebra Essentials for Data Scientists" is a comprehensive guide designed to bridge the gap between theoretical linear algebra and practical data science applications. Whether you're a data scientist, machine learning engineer, or a student aiming to enter these fields, this book provides the foundational knowledge necessary to understand and implement key linear algebra concepts in your work.

This book covers a wide range of topics, from basic vector and matrix operations to more advanced subjects such as eigenvalues, eigenvectors, and singular value decomposition (SVD). Each chapter combines clear explanations of mathematical theory with practical examples and exercises in Python, using libraries such as NumPy and SciPy. By the end of this book, you'll have a deep understanding of how linear algebra underpins many algorithms in data science and machine learning, and you'll be equipped with the skills to apply these concepts in your own projects.

Key features of the book include:

• Fundamentals of Vectors and Matrices: Learn the basics of vector spaces, matrix operations, and transformations.
• Applications in Data Science: Discover how linear algebra is used in data analysis, machine learning, and neural networks.
• Hands-On Coding Examples: Implement linear algebra concepts in Python with clear, step-by-step coding examples.
• Exercises and Solutions: Test your understanding with exercises at the end of each chapter, complete with detailed solutions.

"Linear Algebra Essentials for Data Scientists" is your essential resource for mastering the mathematical foundations required for data science and machine learning.
