DP with Probability
DP with probability models how chance flows between states over time by repeatedly redistributing mass according to transition probabilities.
DP with Expected Value
Dynamic programming with expected value solves problems where each state transitions randomly and we seek the expected cost, time, or steps to reach a goal.
Matrix Rank and Linear Independence
Matrix rank is the number of pivots after Gaussian elimination and equals the dimension of both the column space and the row space.
Gaussian Elimination over GF(2)
Gaussian elimination over GF(2) is ordinary Gaussian elimination where addition and subtraction are XOR and multiplication is AND.
Gaussian Elimination
Gaussian elimination is a systematic way to solve linear equations by cleaning a matrix into an upper-triangular form using row swaps, scaling, and adding multiples of rows.
Determinant
The determinant of a square matrix measures how a linear transformation scales volume and whether it flips orientation.
