Description
Coding the Matrix: Linear Algebra Through Applications to Computer Science
This textbook introduces vectors and matrices, and the algorithms that operate on them, with a focus on applications in computer science. It's designed for students who know how to program, and uses mathematical concepts and computational problems to illustrate real-world examples.
Examples include error-correcting codes, graphics transformations, face detection, encryption, integer factoring, image processing, and more. The book includes over 200 illustrations, including xkcd comics, and a companion website with data and support code. It's structured around 11 chapters that cover key topics in linear algebra.
