18.06SC Linear Algebra
18.06SC Linear Algebra (Fall 2011, MIT OCW). Taught by Prof. Gilbert Strang, this course covers matrix theory and linear algebra, emphasizing topics useful in other disciplines such as physics, economics and social sciences, natural sciences, and engineering. This course has been designed for independent study. It provides everything you will need to understand the concepts covered in the course. The materials include: a complete set of lecture videos, summary notes, problem solving videos, and a full set of exams and solutions. (from ocw.mit.edu)
| Lecture 31 - Singular Value Decomposition |
If A is symmetric and positive definite, there is an orthogonal matrix Q for which A = QΛQT. Here Λ is the matrix of eigenvalues. Singular Value Decomposition lets us write any matrix A as a product UΣVT. where U and V are orthogonal and Σ is a diagonal matrix whose non-zero entries are square roots of the eigenvalues of ATA. The columns of U and V give bases for the four fundamental subspaces.
