Linear algebra is the foundation of scientific computing and its numerous applications. Yet, the world is non-linear. In this lecture we argue that it pays off to work with models that are described by non-linear polynomials, while still taking advantage of the power of numerical linear algebra. We present a glimpse of applied algebraic geometry, by discussing recent advances in tensor...
