- Factoring matrices with the QR decomposition algorithm
From physics and engineering to economics and sociology, there is no getting away from matrices. These mathematical structures can represent systems of equations, statistical data, DNA sequences, and the distribution of stresses within an object. Matrices have been used to structure data for centuries, and new applications appear on a regular basis.
Just as there are many uses for matrices, there are also many different ways to analyze them. But not all matrices are easy to work with. Mathematicians frequently ...
