## What is a matrix?
A matrix is just a fancy word for a rectangular array of numbers.
A matrix is usually represented by capital letters like `A`, `B` or `C`. If we want to specify an element of a matrix we use small letters like `a`, `b` or `c` with subscripts.
For example if we had a matrix called `A` with three rows and two columns it might look like this:
To access an element of this matrix we would use its row index followed by its column index.
So `a_11_` would be the element in the first row first column which is `1`, while `a_32_` would be the element in the third row second column which is `6`.
## Why do we care?
Matrices can be used as a very compact way of representing lots of data at once.
For example if we wanted to represent all our student's marks at once we could do something like this:
Each row represents one student's marks while each column represents one subject.
## More importantly
The best reason we care about matrices is because they are used all over linear algebra!

title: Vector Projection

## What is vector projection?
Let's say we have two vectors **u** and **v** which look like this:
We can project **u** onto **v** by finding the vector **u'** which has its tail at **u**'s tail but lies along **v**'s line.
This looks like:
In this example **u'** = (-2 , -1).
## How do we calculate it?
The formula for projecting **u** onto **v** is:
$$
textbf{u'} = frac{textbf{u} cdot textbf{v}}{left|textbf{v}right|^2} times textbf{v}
$$
Let's work through an example with **u** = (3 , -2) and **v** = (-2 , -1).
First let's calculate $textbf{u} cdot textbf{v}$.
$$
textbf{u} cdot textbf{v} = (3)(-2) + (-2)(-1) = -6 +2 = -4
$$
Now let's calculate $left|textbf{v}right|^2$.
$$
left|textbf{v}right|^2 = (-2)^2 + (-1)^2 = 4 +1 =5
$$
Now let's put it all together:
$$
textbf{u'} = frac{-4}{5} times (-2 , -1) \
= (frac{-4}{5} times -2 , frac{-4}{5} times -1) \
= (frac{8}{5} , frac{4}{5})
$$
So **u'** = ($frac{8}{5}$ , $frac{4}{5}$).
## Why do we care?
Vector projection is useful because it lets us break up vectors into components along other vectors.
It also forms part of several other important concepts including orthogonal projection (which we'll cover next week), eigenvalues/eigenvectors and least squares approximation.

I'm currently doing [Andrew Ng's Machine Learning course on Coursera](https://www.coursera.org/learn/machine-learning) which covers lots of topics including linear algebra which I haven't touched since university.
I'm really enjoying learning these topics again so I thought I'd share some notes I've made along with links to resources I've found useful.
## Dot product
The dot product of two vectors u=(u_1_, u_2_, ... , u_n_) and v=(v_1_, v_2_, ... , v_n_) is defined as:
$$(mathbf{u}, mathbf{v}) = u_1v_1 + u_2v_2 + ... + u_nv_n $$
Some useful properties include:
$$(mathbf{u}, cmathbf{v}) = c(mathbf{u}, mathbf{v}) $$
$$(cmathbf{u}, mathbf{v}) = c(mathbf{u}, mathbf{v}) $$
$$(cmathbf{u}, cmathbf{v}) = c^2(mathbf{u}, mathbf{v}) $$
$$(mathbf{u}, mathbf{u}) >0 $$ if $mathbf{u}$ ≠ $vec0$
$$(mathbf{u}, vec0) = (vec0,vec0) = (vec0,mathbf{u}) = (vec0,vec0) $$
If $theta$ is the angle between $mathbf{x}$ & $mathbf{y}$ then:
$$(mathbf{x},mathbf{y})=||x|| ||y|| cos(theta)$$

## Norms
The norm or length of vector $vec{x}$ can be calculated using the dot product as follows:
$$ ||x||=sqrt{langle x,xrangle}= sqrt{x_1^2+x_2^2+...+x_n^2} $$

## Matrix multiplication
Matrix multiplication allows us multiply matrices together by multiplying each row from one matrix by each column from another matrix as shown below:
$$
begin{{bmatrix}}
a_{11} & a_{12} & ... & a_{1n}\
a_{21} & a_{22} & ... & a_{2n}\
... & ... & ... & ...\
a_{m1} & a_{m2} & ... & a_{mn}\
end{{bmatrix}}
times
begin{{bmatrix}}
b_{11} & b_{12} & ... & b_{1n}\
b_{21} & b_{22} & ... & b_{2n}\
... & ... & ... & ...\
b_{m1} & b_{m2} & ... & b_{mn}\
end{{bmatrix}}
=
begin{{bmatrix}}
(a_{11}*b_{11})+(a_{12}*b_{21})+...+(a_{1n}*b_{n1}) &(a_{11}*b_{12})+(a_{12}*b_{22})+...+(a_{1n}*b_{n2}) & ... &(a_{11}*b_{1n})+(a_{12}*b_{21})+...+(a_{1n}*b_{nn})\
(a_{21}*b_{11})+(a_{22}*b_{21})+...+(a_{2n}*b_{n1}) &(a_{21}*b_{12})+(a_{22}*b_{22})+...+(a_{2n}*b_{n2}) & ... &(a_{21}*b_{1n})+(a_{22}*b_{21})+...+(a_{2n}*b_{nn})\
... &... &... &... \
(a_{{m}_{11}}*b_{{m}_{11}})+(a_{{m}_{12}}*b_{{m}_{21}})+...+(a_{{m}_{1n}}*b_{{m}_{n1}}) &(a_{{m}_{11}}*b_{{m}_{12}})+(a_{{m}_{12}}*b_{{m}_{22}})+...+(a_{{m}_{1n}}*b_{{m}_{n2}}) & ... &(a_{{m}_{11}}*b_{{m}_{1n}})+(a_{{m}_{12}}*b_{{m}_{21}})+...+(a_{{m}_{1n}}*b_{{m}_{nn}})\
end{{bmatrix}}
$$
