Linear Algebra in C++ - Part 1 - A simple class to handle matrices
Linear algebra is essential to most scientific computing and fields of engineering, including #machinelearning. Matrices and matrix arithmetic are a fundamental part of linear algebra and so being able to handle matrices in C++ can be extremely useful. In this video, I briefly introduce the basic concepts of matrix arithmetic before going on to show how I have approached creating a simple C++ class to allow the handling of matrices.

As with all of my videos, I show the code that I have developed to solve the particular problems that I need to solve, with the hope that it may provide sufficient background and inspiration to allow you to go on to develop your own code if you wish to. My code may not be the most appropriate solution to the problem you are trying to solve, so I urge you to consider the problem carefully and decide for yourself on the most appropriate solution. I make every effort to ensure that my code works as it should and is free of bugs, but of course I cannot provide any guarantees. If you use my code as shown, I strongly encourage you to make sure that you test it thoroughly to ensure that it works as you need it to. If you find a bug, do please let me know in the comments!
