Linear Algebra in R
The previous chapter introduced an efficient and effective reporting approach using R Markdown. Part 1 of this book essentially covered the practical aspects of getting things done using R. Part 2 of this book goes back to the fundamentals, covering two essential pillars of mathematics: linear algebra and calculus. Understanding these basics will better prepare us to appreciate and work with common mathematical operations to the point that these operations feel natural to us. Part 2 aims to develop that level of literacy, starting with a fundamental review of linear algebra with R in this chapter.
By the end of this chapter, you will have learned about the basic concepts of linear algebra, including vectors, matrices, and the system of equations. You will also be able to interpret basic notations in linear algebra and work with common matrices using R.
In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:
- Introducing linear algebra
- Common matrix...
