The least-squares problem presents itself as a neat mixture of extreme practical importance, satisfying geometry (projections onto subspaces), and good linear algebra. The basic problem is to minimize the quadratic cost function |Ax − b||. The geometry is to project b onto the column space of A. Linear algebra produces the normal equations AAxt = Ab for the optimal solution xt. The matrix AA is absolutely central to all of applied mathematics and is beautiful to think about. However, there is a catch: AA is often not attractive to compute with. Boyd and Vandenberghe have created an entire applied linear algebra course around this important problem.
