Q

What is a vector?

A

A vector is practically the simplest linear algebraic object

They sit somewhere between scalar and matrix as they have 1 dimension

a point

it cannot be represented geometrically

A

a point

Q

Geometrically a vector can be represented as:

A point

A line

A plane

A

A line

19
Q

in python, what kind of vector is default?

A

a row vector

ie. an array

20
Q

What are tensors?

A

Tensors are a generalization of the concepts we have seen so far:

name - tensor rank
scalar = rank 0
vector = rank 1
matrix = rank 2
a collection of matrices = rank 3

21
Q

What is a Rank 3 tensor?

A

A collection of matrices
Dimensions of k x m x n

22
Q

Choose the best answer:

Scalars are type of tensors

Tensors are types of matrices

Matrices are types of vectors

it cannot be represented geometrically

A

Scalars are type of tensors

23
Q

A vector is a tensor by definition. Of what rank?

0

1

2

3

Other

A

Rank1

24
Q

What happens when we transpose the same vector twice?

A

It yields the same vector

25
Q

What does it mean to transpose a vector?

A

To change it from a linear to horizontal or vice versa
rows to columns and vice versa

ie. 1x3 to 3x1

26
Q

What is the difference between a dot product and tensor product?

A
27
Q

What is another name for the dot product?

A

inner or scalar product

because we multiplied two vectors and got a scalar

ie. multiply two arrays and get an int

The sum of the products of the corresponding elements

28
Q

What is the notation of the dot product?

A

a dot - “.” - signifying it is the dot product

29
Q

What happens when we multiply a scalar by a vector?

A

we get a vector with the same length

30
Q

What is the outcome of the dot product of the following two matrices?

A. B =
2x3 3x6

A

A. B C
2x3 3x6 = 2x6

31
Q

T or F - we always multiply a row vector by a column vector

A

T

32
Q

What are practical applications of linear algebra in data science?

A

vectorizing code
- input matrix - weights matrix(coefficients) - output matrix

imagine recognition
dimensionality reduction

33
Q

What is is called when we use linear algebra to compute many values simultaneously?

A

Array programming or vectorizing code
