Summary

In this introductory chapter, we outline the ways in which various problems in data analysis can be formulated as optimization problems. Specifically, we discuss least squares problems, problems in matrix optimization (particularly those involving low-rank matrices), linear and kernel support vector machines, binary and multiclass logistic regression, and deep learning. We also outline the scope of the remainder of the book.
