Matrix Calculus: Derivation and Simple ApplicationHU, Pili March 30, 2012 AbstractMatrix calculus [3] is a very useful tool in many engineering prob-lems. Basic rules of Matrix calculus are nothing more than ordinarycalculus rules covered in undergraduate courses. However, using ma-trix calculus , the Derivation process is more compact. This documentis adapted from the notes of a course the author recently attends. Itbuilds Matrix calculus from scratch. Only prerequisites are basic cal- culus notions and linear algebra get a quick executive guide, please refer to the cheat sheet insection(4).To see how Matrix calculus simplify the process of Derivation , pleaserefer to the Application in section( ). hupili [at] ie [dot] cuhk [dot] edu [dot] hk Last compile:April 24, 20121HU, PiliMatrix CalculusContents1 Introductory Example32 Organization of Elements . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

trix calculus, the derivation process is more compact. This document is adapted from the notes of a course the author recently attends. It builds matrix calculus from scratch. Only prerequisites are basic cal-culus notions and linear algebra operation. To get a quick executive guide, please refer to the cheat sheet in section(4).
