W1_L1: Vectors

Welcome to Week 1 Lecture 1 of the course "Mathematics for Data Science II" by Profs. Prof. Sarang S Sane. Full Course: https://study.iitm.ac.in/ds/course_pages/BSMA1003.html Video Overview This lecture introduces the concept of vectors as essential tools for representing and manipulating data. Professor Sarang Sane explains how vectors naturally arise from data tables such as GDP figures and cricket statistics. The lecture demonstrates how basic vector operations like addition and scalar multiplication can be used to perform meaningful calculations on datasets. The session lays a strong foundation for understanding linear algebra and its role in data science.
