Study Notes

Vectors and Vector Operations

Vectors can be added and scaled using simple operations
The show_vector function is used to visualize vectors in a 2D plane
Vectors can be interpolated using linear interpolation, which is a weighted sum of two vectors
The np.linalg.norm function is used to calculate the magnitude of a vector

Matrix Operations

Matrices can be multiplied using the @ operator or the matmul function
Matrix multiplication is only possible if the number of columns in the first matrix matches the number of rows in the second matrix
The matmul function can be used to perform matrix multiplication with broadcasting
The np.transpose function can be used to transpose a matrix

Linear Transformations

Linear transformations can be represented as matrices
The matrix product of two linear transformations is a new linear transformation
The order of matrix multiplication matters (e.g. scale_x @ rot30 is not the same as rot30 @ scale_x)
Linear transformations can be visualized using matrices and scatter plots

Covariance and Correlation

The covariance of a dataset can be calculated using the np.cov function
The covariance matrix represents the variance and covariance of each pair of variables
The eigsorted function is used to sort the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a covariance matrix
The cov_ellipse function is used to visualize the covariance ellipse of a dataset

Diagonal and Identity Matrices

Diagonal matrices can be created using the np.diag function
The identity matrix can be created using the np.eye function
The identity matrix does not change the result when multiplied with another matrix
Diagonal and identity matrices have specific properties when multiplied with other matrices

Miscellaneous

The np.random.normal function can be used to generate random normal variables
The plt.hist2d function can be used to create a 2D histogram
The scipy.special.gamma function is used to calculate the gamma function
