Linear Algebra Review

Defining Linear Boundaries

The most basic equation of a line is y = mx + c. This leads us to the formulation of a baseline linear function to be:

wx + b = 0 which essentially defines a line

Perceptron

This basic algorithm is our intro to linear classifiers. The special part here is that it only works on sign(prediction) and not on how good the actual prediction turns out.
