Section 1: Vectors (Basics, Magnitude, Direction)
- Define a vector and explain how it differs from a scalar using real-world examples.
- Represent the vector from point (0, 0) to (3, 4) and describe its components.
- Calculate the magnitude of the vector (3, 4) and explain the formula used.
- Given vectors (2, 3) and (4, 1), perform vector addition and interpret the result.
- Subtract the vector (1, 2) from (5, 6) and explain the geometric meaning.
- Explain what direction means in the context of vectors and how it is represented.
- Normalize the vector (3, 4) and explain why normalization is useful in data science.
- Describe how vectors can represent features in a dataset with an example.
Section 2: Matrices (Structure, Rows, Columns)
- Define a matrix and explain the meaning of rows and columns.
- Write a 2×3 matrix and identify the number of rows and columns.
- Explain how a dataset can be represented as a matrix with rows as observations and columns as features.
- Identify the dimensions of a matrix with 4 rows and 5 columns.
- Given a matrix, explain how to access a specific element using row and column indices.
- Describe the difference between a row vector and a column vector with examples.
- Explain how matrices are used to store tabular data in machine learning.
