Outline of lecture

Please take the presentation slide of this lecture from

http://www.ide.titech.ac.jp/~yamasita/MMS/

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