#import "@preview/unequivocal-ams:0.1.1": ams-article, theorem, proof #show: ams-article.with( title: [Week 2], authors: ( ( name: "Youwen Wu", organization: [University of California, Santa Barbara], email: "youwen@ucsb.edu", url: "https://youwen.dev", ), ), bibliography: bibliography("refs.bib"), ) = Vectors, linear combinations, spans, matrix-vector product. - Consider a whole new way of looking at linear systems - Add vectors entrywise, head to tail - Multiply vectors via scaling - A more flexible way to draw a line. For a line through point $p$, in direction $arrow(d)$, use $arrow(p) + t arrow(d), t in RR$. Intuition: Add a vector $arrow(p)$ pointing to point $p$ and compose a vector pointing in the intended direction $arrow(d)$ head to tail. A linear combination is $ arrow(y) = sum_(k=1)^n alpha_n arrow(v)_n $
