How is linear algebra used in algorithms?

Question

Several of my peers have mentioned that \"linear algebra\" is very important when studying algorithms. I\'ve studied a variety of algorithms and taken a few linear algebra cour

Answer 1

It depends what type of "algorithms".

Some examples:

• Machine-Learning/Statistics algorithms: Linear Regressions (least-squares, ridge, lasso).
• Lossy compression of signals and other processing (face recognition, etc). See Eigenfaces
