| | The aim of this post is to motivate the idea of representing probability spaces as states on a commutative algebra. We will consider how this abstract construction relates directly to classical probabilities. In the standard axiomatization of probability theory, due to Kolmogorov, the central construct is a probability space $latex {(\Omega,\mathcal F,{\mathbb P})}&fg=000000$. This consists...

| | [AI summary] The text provides an in-depth explanation of the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra, which states that every non-constant polynomial of degree $ n $ has exactly $ n $ roots in the complex number system, counting multiplicities. It walks through the proof by first establishing that every polynomial has at least one complex root (using the properties of continuous functions and the complex plane), then using polynomial division to factor the polynomial into linear factors, and finally addressing the nature of roots (real vs. complex) and their multiplicities. The text also touches on the conjugate root theorem, which explains why complex roots of polynomials with real coefficients come in conjugate pairs.

| 1. Low-rank approximation of matrices Let $latex {A}&fg=000000$ be an arbitrary $latex {n \times m}&fg=000000$ matrix. We assume $latex {n \leq m}&fg=000000$. We consider the problem of approximating $latex {A}&fg=000000$ by a low-rank matrix. For example, we could seek to find a rank $latex {s}&fg=000000$ matrix $latex {B}&fg=000000$ minimizing $latex { \lVert A - B...
