Study Notes
Preliminary Concepts: Sets and Functions
- A set is a well-defined collection of objects, denoted by capital letters (e.g., A or X).
- Sets have elements or members, which are objects that belong to the set.
- Elements can be listed inside a pair of braces (e.g., X = {x1, …, xn}).
- Important sets include relations, such as set A being a subset of B (A ⊂ B) and set A being equal to set B (A = B).
Matrices
- A matrix is a rectangular array of numbers, denoted by an italicized upper-case letter (e.g., A).
- Matrices have dimensions (number of rows and columns), denoted by m × n.
- Each entry of a matrix is defined as aij (e.g., A = [aij]m×n).
- Special types of matrices include:
- Rectangular matrix (m ≠ n)
- Square matrix (m = n)
- Diagonal matrix (non-diagonal elements are zero)
- Upper triangular matrix (elements below the main diagonal are zero)
- Lower triangular matrix (elements above the main diagonal are zero)
- Identity matrix (diagonal matrix with elements equal to one)
Vectors
- In math and physics, vectors are quantities with both direction and magnitude (denoted by →v).
- In computer science, vectors are one-dimensional ordered arrays of real value numbers (scalars).
- Vectors are denoted by bold-font lower case (e.g., v) and can be written in column or row form.
- The length of an array defines the dimension of a vector (e.g., v ∈ ℝn).
Vector Operations
- Vector addition is a fundamental operation in vector calculus.
Calculus
- Derivative of a function is a fundamental concept in calculus.
- Derivative rules include:
- Product rule
- Quotient rule
- Chain rule
- Derivative of a multivariate function (scalar function of multiple variables) is a partial derivative.
- Partial derivatives are used in vector calculus and differential geometry.
Derivative of a Multivariate Function
- Partial derivative of a function f(x, y) = x^2y with respect to x is ∂f/∂x = 2xy.
- Partial derivative of a function f(x, y) = x^2y with respect to y is ∂f/∂y = x^2.
Derivative of a Vector/Matrix
- Derivative of a vector/matrix is an extension of ordinary scalar derivative to higher dimensional settings.
- Gradient of a scalar function f(x) with respect to a vector x is a vector of partial derivatives: ∇f = (∂f/∂x1, ∂f/∂x2, …, ∂f/∂xn).
Gradient
- Gradient of a scalar function f(x) with respect to a vector x is a vector of partial derivatives: ∇f = (∂f/∂x1, ∂f/∂x2, …, ∂f/∂xn).
- Geometric interpretation of the gradient is a vector pointing in the direction of the maximum rate of change of the function.
- Example: Find the gradient of z = f(x, y) = 3x^2y at (1, 1).
