Comment on Ask HN: what linear algebra do you use most often for practical problems?

Comments

I'm not in software, but rather algorithm development for determining radio positions (like GPS but including other methods for cell phones). I have used eigenanalysis a number of times, a lot of orthogonal basis shifting of various kinds, implicilty a lot of matrix inversions and pseudoinversions to solve things. I do most of my R&D using matlab, and have learned a lot of linear algebra reading their helpfiles. I use hilbert spaces and what I learned about them 30 years ago almost constantly.
