Outline of lecture

Linear algebra (eigenvalue problem, singular value decomposition,
and generalized inverse matrix), optimization technique (gradient method, conjugate gradient method, and quasi-Newton method), and statistics (estimation and test) are lectured.

Purpose of lecture

The objective of this course is to provide fundamental optimization technique
and statistics to handle various quantities with respect to international development.
In order to understand those knowledges, basic mathematics for them is also provided.
