Since these articles are educational in nature and are not intended to show the implementation of specific functionality, we will do things a little differently in this article. Instead of showing how to apply factorization to obtain the inverse of a matrix, we will focus on factorization of the pseudoinverse. The reason is that there is no point in showing how to get the general coefficient if we can do it in a special way. Even better, the reader can gain a deeper understanding of why things happen the way they do. So, let's now figure out why hardware is replacing software over time.
