Master Linear Algebra for Machine Learning 🚀 | Essential Concepts Explained

In this video, W&B's Deep Learning Educator Charles Frye covers the core ideas from linear algebra that you need in order to do machine learning.

In particular, we'll see how linear algebra is not like algebra -- it's more like programming! And then we'll build on that intuition to understand why linear algebra is so central to machine learning.
