GMRES: or how to do fast linear algebra
Linear least-squares system pop up everywhere, and there are many fast way to solve them. We’ll be looking at one such way: GMRES.
Hello
Hello
I am a math PhD student at the University of Geneva, doing research in tensor networks, numerical linear algebra and machine learning. I like to do data science as a hobby, and I will use this website as a blog and post some of my projects.
Feel free to contact me if you’re interested in any of the things I do!
