Resources
There are many videos that can be found online regarding linear algebra and optimization:- If you are interested in a book that focuses more on applications to data science and engineering, take a look at Introduction to Applied Linear Algebra, by Boyd and Vandenberghe
- The all time classic, Introduction to Linear Algebra by Prof. Gilbert Strang
- Also, Prof. Gilbert Strang has a full set of linear algebra video lectures from his MIT course available here: 18.06 Linear Algebra. This contains some material not relevant to DS-GA 1014, but it's always good to learn some things from the sensei himself
- YouTuber 3Blue1Brown has a nice set of videos on linear algebra online with beautiful illustrations: Essence of Linear Algebra
