Linear Algebra 5: Linear Independence
Ax = 0 and proving a set of vectors is linearly independentPrefaceWelcome back to the fifth edition of my ongoing series on the basics of Linear Algebra, the foundational math behind machine learning. In my previous article, I walked through the matrix equation Ax = b. This essay will investigate the important concept of linear independence and how it connects to everything we’ve learned so far.This article would best serve readers if read in accompaniment with Linear Algebra and Its Applications by David C.
