This textbook is the second edition of the linear algebra and optimization book that was published in 2020. The exposition in this edition is greatly simplified as compared to the first edition. The second edition is enhanced with a large number of solved examples and exercises. A frequent challenge faced by beginners in machine learning is the extensive background required in linear algebra and optimization. One problem is that the existing linear algebra and optimization courses are not specific to machine learning; therefore, one would typically have to complete more course material than is necessary to pick up machine learning. Furthermore, certain types of ideas and tricks from optimization and linear algebra recur more frequently in machine learning than other application-centric settings. Therefore, there is significant value in developing a view of linear algebra and optimization that is better suited to the specific perspective of machine learning. It is common for machine
