| Course Cluster and Certificates: Applied Data Science Certificate |
An introduction to the mathematics of matrices and their application in traditional and modern methods of data analysis and scientific computing. The course promotes an interdisciplinary approach, and topics may include:
- Coordinate transformations in data visualization, iterated patterns in mosaics and art
- Use of least squares approach with linear solvers for regression, as well as image alignment
- PCA-decomposition of computer images (the "eigenfaces" example)
- Matrix decomposition methods: Singular Value Decomposition and Non-negative Matrix Factorization
- Dimensionality reduction and data compression
- Matrix operations in deep learning.
- ChatGPT and word vector embeddings
Students will use R for most of the computational tasks, and Mathematica for symbolic math and deep learning. |
