Mathematical foundations of data anlaysis

This course is designed so someone can understand the definitions of standard data science terms, and the associated mathematical terms. We also give proofs of how commonly used techniques in data science work along with implementing algorithms and examples with a computer program.

We start by covering Linear algebra and Probability necessary for the course, and then proceed in 4 different topics: network analysis, machine learning, topological data analysis, and then low rank matrices and tensor.
