== <span style="color: #FFFFFF;">Remembering</span> == * '''Vector''' β A quantity having both magnitude and direction; an array of numbers. * '''Matrix''' β A rectangular grid of numbers, arranged in rows and columns. * '''Scalar''' β A single number (as opposed to a vector or matrix). * '''Dot Product''' β An operation that takes two vectors and returns a single number (measuring how much they "point" in the same direction). * '''Matrix Multiplication''' β A way of combining two matrices to represent a complex transformation. * '''Identity Matrix ($I$)''' β A square matrix with 1s on the diagonal and 0s elsewhere; the "1" of matrices. * '''Inverse Matrix ($A^{-1}$)''' β A matrix that, when multiplied by $A$, result in the Identity matrix (used to "undo" a transformation). * '''Determinant''' β A single number that describes the "Scale" of a transformation (if it's 0, the matrix has "collapsed" the space). * '''Eigenvector''' β A vector whose direction does not change during a transformation. * '''Eigenvalue''' β The factor by which an eigenvector is scaled during a transformation. * '''Basis''' β A set of vectors that can be used to "build" any other vector in a space. * '''Dimension''' β The number of vectors in a basis (e.g., 2D, 3D, or 1000D). * '''Linear Transformation''' β A function that moves space while keeping lines straight and the origin fixed. * '''System of Linear Equations''' β A set of two or more linear equations with the same variables. </div> <div style="background-color: #006400; color: #FFFFFF; padding: 20px; border-radius: 8px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
