Lecture 3 Linear Equations and Matrices
see.stanford.eduso multiplication by matrix inverse solves a set of linear equations some comments: • x = A−1b makes solving set of 100 linear equations in 100 variables look simple, but the notation is hiding alot of work!

see.stanford.eduwe decide to approximate y as a linear function of x: hθ(x) = θ0 +θ1x1 +θ2x2 Here, the θi’s are the parameters (also called weights) parameterizing the space of linear functions mapping from X to Y. When there is no risk of confusion, we will drop the θ …
