Session Goal

The goal of this session was to prepare for a class on computational linear algebra, focusing on two main topics: the Power Method and Principal Component Analysis (PCA).

Key Activities

  • Power Method Preparation: Developed a detailed class plan for a 1.5-hour session on the Power Method, covering eigenvalues and eigenvectors. This included creating practical exercises and a Python implementation guide.
  • PCA Preparation: Planned a 1.5-hour class on PCA, focusing on dimensionality reduction, eigenfaces, and classification. Prepared materials for practical examples and visualizations.

Achievements

  • Completed the class preparation for both the Power Method and PCA, ensuring that all necessary materials and guides are ready for teaching.

Pending Tasks

  • Review and refine the prepared materials to ensure clarity and effectiveness before the actual class session.
