    to implement all the machinery of the various learning algorithms yourself, so you have a deeper understanding of the fundamentals. By the
    time you complete this project, you will be able to implement and apply PCA from scratch using NumPy in Python, conduct basic exploratory

    Some places the code used could have been simplified to be easier for the learner to understand. For example: (eigen_vectors.T[:][:])[:2].T was used in the course video but it can be replaced by eigen_vectors[:, :2]. The second one which I used is much simpler and cleaner to understand.

    Thank You.
