Explore advanced topics in linear algebra through a comprehensive 5-hour video series. Delve into least squares approximation, including the fundamental theorem, fitting data to curves, and applications to more general functions. Learn about Hamming's error-correcting codes, their properties, and practical examples. Investigate the functional calculus, covering theorems, square roots of positive matrices, and polynomial interpolation. Study affine subspaces and transformations, including combinations, subspaces, and composition of transformations. Examine stochastic maps, conditional probabilities, and Bayes' theorem. Conclude with an introduction to finite-dimensional C*-algebras, exploring *-homomorphisms, positivity, and the Stochastic Gelfand-Naimark theorem.
