As a warm-up to the subject of this blog post, consider the problem of how to classify$latex n \times m$ matrices $latex M \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times m}$ up to change of basis in both the source ($latex \mathbb{R}^m$) and the target ($latex \mathbb{R}^n$). In other words, the problem is todescribe the equivalence classes of the...

The singular value decomposition (SVD) of a matrix is a fundamental tool in computer science, data analysis, and statistics. It's used for all kinds of applications from regression to prediction, to finding approximate solutions to optimization problems. In this series of two posts we'll motivate, define, compute, and use the singular value decomposition to analyze some data. (Jump to the second post) I want to spend the first post entirely on motivation and background.
