# Linear Algebra and Graph Theory In machine learning we often see graph theoretic problems being framed in the context of linear algebra. Why is that? > 1. **Graphs** have **objects** (*nodes*) and **relations** between them (*edges*). > 2. **Matrices** have **objects** (*basis vectors*) and *transformations* between them (a matrix is literally a linear transformation). Given the above it is no surprise that we frequently map one onto the other! --- Date: 20221003 Links to: [Linear Algebra MOC](Linear%20Algebra%20MOC.md) Tags: #review References: * []()
