+
+This repository documents my journey through **Week 1** of the **Machine Learning Zoomcamp**, a comprehensive 4-month course offered by **DataTalksClub**. Week 1 focuses on building the **mathematical foundation** required for machine learning, including linear algebra and matrix operations.
+
+---
+
+## 📘 Week 1 Overview
+
+The goal of this week was to understand the mathematical underpinnings of machine learning algorithms. Key topics included:
+
+- **Matrix Operations**: Matrix multiplication, transposition, and inversion.
+- **Linear Algebra Fundamentals**: Dot products, matrix shapes, and their relevance in ML.
+- **Practical Applications**: Implementing linear algebra concepts using Python and NumPy.
+
+---
+
+## 🔧 Exercises and Implementations
+
+The exercises involved:
+
+- Computing the transpose of a matrix `X` and performing `X.T @ X`.
+- Inverting the resulting matrix `(X.T @ X)^(-1)`.
+- Using the inverse to solve linear equations, a fundamental step in linear regression.
+
+---
+
+## 🧪 Example Problem
+
+One of the exercises included:
+
+1. Creating a dataset:
+
+```python
+y = [1100, 1300, 800, 900, 1000, 1100, 1200]
+````
+
+2. Computing `X.T @ X`, inverting it, multiplying by `X.T`, and then multiplying by `y` to get the weight vector `w`.
+
+```python
+import numpy as np
+
+# Example steps
+XTX = X.T @ X
+XTX_inv = np.linalg.inv(XTX)
+w = XTX_inv @ X.T @ y
+```
+
+3. Summing all elements of `w` to analyze the result:
+
+```python
+total_weight = np.sum(w)
+print("Sum of weights:", total_weight)
+```
+

+
+## 🛠️ Technologies Used
+
+* **Python** – Programming language for implementation
+* **NumPy** – Efficient numerical computations and linear algebra
+* **Jupyter Notebooks** – Interactive environment for running exercises
+
+---
+
+## 📌 Key Takeaways
+
+* Mastering linear algebra is essential for understanding machine learning algorithms.
+* Operations like matrix multiplication and inversion form the core of regression and many ML models.
+* Hands-on exercises help translate theoretical concepts into practical applications.
