Study Notes

Linear Algebra Fundamentals

  • The mathematical object at the core of Linear Algebra is the vector.
  • Using two operations (addition and scalar multiplication), vector spaces and matrices can be constructed.
  • Calculus is not typically studied in Linear Algebra.

Vector Sets and Notation

  • Vector sets, such as Euclidean spaces, play a crucial role in Linear Algebra.
  • A vector space represents a collection of vectors.
  • Vectors are represented using boldface letters (e.g., x) or an arrow above the letter (e.g., →x).
  • The symbol '∀' in set theory signifies "for all".
  • The symbol '⇒' in mathematical logic represents implication.

Set Operations and Notation

  • The set of real numbers includes natural numbers, counting numbers, integers, positive integers, negative integers, and rational numbers.
  • The Cartesian product of sets A and B is represented as A × B.
  • The symbol '!' in mathematical notation represents the factorial operation.

Vector Operations and Properties

  • Two vectors are equal if and only if their corresponding components are equal.
  • The transpose operator $\mathbf{x}^T$ is used to transform a column vector into a row vector.
  • The special vector $\mathbf{0} \in \mathbb{R}^n$ is associated with the zero vector.
  • The comparison operators <, >, ≤, and ≥ are not defined for vectors.
  • In the lectures, it is assumed that vectors are from the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^n$.
