Data Science and Machine Learning (Theory and Projects) A to Z - Mathematical Foundation: Vector Space

The video tutorial introduces vector spaces, emphasizing their significance in data science. It defines vector spaces as sets closed under scalar multiplication and addition, focusing on real vector spaces. The tutorial explains linear combinations and provides examples, highlighting the importance of visualization in understanding vector spaces. It concludes by hinting at the next topic: dimensions and linear independence.
