Course Description

Overview

Explore the fundamentals of data structure analysis in this 25-minute lecture from MIT's 18.S191 Fall 2020 course. Delve into topics such as matrix rank, data visualization using Julia's Plots.jl package, and statistical concepts like standard deviation. Learn about centering datasets, analyzing correlated data, and understanding Principal Component Analysis (PCA). Discover how to visualize higher-dimensional data and apply these concepts to create a simple recommendation engine. This comprehensive lecture, presented by David Sanders, offers a blend of theoretical concepts and practical applications in data science using the Julia programming language.
