The inspiration for this column comes not from the epic 1999 film The Matrix, as the title may suggest, but from an episode of Sean Carroll’s Mindscape podcast that I listened to over the summer. The ...

Social determinants of health (SDoH), which encompass the economic, social, environmental, and psychosocial factors that influence health, play a significant role in the development of cardiovascular ...

Dozens of machine learning algorithms require computing the inverse of a matrix. Computing a matrix inverse is conceptually easy, but implementation is one of the most challenging tasks in numerical ...

A recursive relation, relating leading principal minors, is developed for the determinant of a pentadiagonal matrix. A numerical example is included to indicate its use in calculating eigenvalues.

Race is not a social determinant of health (SDOH). This is because SDOHs are aspects of a person’s environment that affect their health, not aspects of themselves as individuals. However, racism can ...

The reason why social determinants of health are important to the 4-H program is because these social (non-health) factors influence youth proximal and distal health outcomes (a.k.a. positive youth ...

The determinant is a scalar value that can be computed from a square matrix and possesses important properties in linear algebra. It is commonly used to determine the solvability of linear systems, ...
