Obsidian Vault Linking Structure Analysis Report

Generated: 2025-11-24 Vault: mi-quartz study notes Courses: MAT1610 Calculo I, MAT1203 Algebra Lineal, EYP1016 Introduccion a la Estadistica


Executive Summary

This vault contains 229 markdown files across three mathematics courses. While 115 files (50%) contain wikilinks, there are significant opportunities to improve the knowledge graph through:

  1. Linking 26 orphaned concept notes in MAT1203 to their corresponding class notes
  2. Creating cross-course connections between related mathematical concepts
  3. Reducing the 7 completely orphaned notes
  4. Establishing bidirectional links between concept definitions and class applications

Key Finding: The MAT1203 Algebra Lineal course has 26 concept files in the /Conceptos/ folder that contain no wikilinks, despite being referenced in class notes. This represents the biggest opportunity for immediate improvement.

Completely Orphaned Files (7 total)

These files have ZERO wikilinks in or out:

MAT1610 Calculo I (2 files):

  • Clases/03 Aplicaciones de la derivada/24) Formas Indeterminadas y Regla de L'Hopital.md
  • Clases/03 Aplicaciones de la derivada/25) Mas Formas Indeterminadas, Productos, Diferencias y Potencias.md

Recommendation: These class notes on L’Hopital’s Rule should link to:

  • Limites-Infinitos.md
  • Derivada.md
  • 22) Teorema del Valor Medio.md (since L’Hopital uses derivatives)

MAT1203 Algebra Lineal (1 file):

  • Resumen Completo Clases 11-23.md

Recommendation: This summary should link to all class notes and concepts it covers (Classes 11-23).

Other (4 files):

  • Otros/Resumen 1 MUC872.md
  • Otros/Resumen 2 MUC872.md
  • Otros/Resumen 3 MUC872.md
  • Otros/Resumen 4 MUC872.md

Note: These appear to be from a different course (MUC872) and are currently staged for deletion in git.

Specific Cross-Course Linking Opportunities

Priority 1: High-Value Connections

  1. Independencia Lineal ↔ Independencia (Probabilidad)

    • From: MAT1203/Conceptos/Independencia-Lineal.md
    • To: EYP1016/Clases/4) Probabilidad Condicional e Independencia.md
    • Type: Conceptual comparison
    • Add a note explaining: “In linear algebra, vectors are independent if no vector is a linear combination of others. In probability, events are independent if knowing one doesn’t affect the other. Different mathematical meanings of ‘independence’.”
  2. Valor Promedio ↔ Esperanza

    • From: MAT1610/Conceptos/Valor-Promedio.md
    • To: EYP1016/Clases/6) Variables Aleatorias Discretas.md (section on Esperanza)
    • Type: Conceptual analogy
    • Note: “The expected value in statistics is analogous to the average value of a function in calculus. For continuous random variables, esperanza uses integrals similar to average value.”
  3. Combinación Lineal ↔ Aproximación Lineal

    • From: MAT1203/Conceptos/Combinacion-Lineal.md
    • To: MAT1610/Conceptos/Aproximacion-Lineal.md
    • Type: Conceptual link
    • Note: “Linear approximation represents a function locally as a linear combination of basis functions.”

Priority 2: Advanced Connections

  1. Transformaciones Lineales ↔ Derivada

    • From: MAT1203/Conceptos/Transformaciones-Lineales.md
    • To: MAT1610/Conceptos/Derivada.md
    • Type: Advanced connection
    • Note: “The derivative is the best linear approximation to a function at a point. In multivariable calculus, this becomes a linear transformation (the Jacobian matrix).”
  2. Determinante ↔ Integrales Múltiples

    • From: MAT1203/Conceptos/Determinante.md
    • To: MAT1203/Conceptos/Integrales-Múltiples.md
    • Type: Advanced application
    • Note: “Determinants appear in change of variables for multiple integrals (Jacobian determinant).”
  3. Sistema Homogéneo ↔ Ecuaciones Diferenciales

    • From: MAT1203/Conceptos/Sistema-Homogeneo.md
    • To: MAT1610/Conceptos/Ecuaciones-Diferenciales.md
    • Type: Applied connection
    • Note: “Systems of homogeneous linear differential equations can be solved using linear algebra techniques.”

Priority 3: Terminology Clarifications

  1. Vector (Geométrico) ↔ Vector Aleatorio

    • From: MAT1203/Conceptos/Vector.md
    • To: EYP1016/Clases/8) Vectores Aleatorios Discretos.md
    • Type: Terminology clarification
    • Note: “Both use the term ‘vector’ but in different contexts: geometric vectors in R^n vs random vectors (tuples of random variables).”
  2. Matriz (Álgebra) ↔ Matriz de Covarianza

    • From: MAT1203/Conceptos/Matriz.md
    • To: References in EYP1016 if/when covered
    • Type: Application
    • Note: “Matrices in statistics (covariance matrices) use the same algebraic structure from linear algebra.”

4. Suggested New Connections

The following concept files exist but have NO wikilinks. They should be populated with content and linked from relevant class notes:

Concept FileStatusShould Link ToPriority
Vector.mdEmpty (“En desarrollo :P”)Clase 1, 2HIGH
Matriz.mdEmptyClase 7, 15HIGH
Independencia-Lineal.mdNo linksClase 12, 23HIGH
Base.mdNo linksClase 23HIGH

Producto-Punto.mdNo linksClase 2MEDIUM
Producto-Cruz.mdNo linksFuture topicLOW
Vectores-Ortogonales.mdNo linksFuture topic (Ch. 7)LOW
Vectores-Unitarios.mdNo linksClase 1MEDIUM

Recommendation: Create a systematic linking pattern where:

  1. Each class note links to relevant concept notes in a “Conceptos Relacionados” section
  2. Each concept note links back to class notes where it’s introduced and applied
  3. Concept notes should have at minimum: definition, examples, and related concepts

B. Create Cross-Reference Sections

Add “See Also” or “Related Concepts” sections to connect ideas:

In MAT1610 Derivada.md:

## Conexiones con Otros Cursos
 
- En [[MAT1203 Algebra Lineal/Conceptos/Transformaciones-Lineales|álgebra lineal]],
  la derivada representa la mejor aproximación lineal a una función
- Ver también [[Aproximacion-Lineal]] para la aplicación práctica

In EYP1016 Variables Aleatorias Discretas:

## Nota sobre Terminología
 
- El término "variable" aquí se refiere a variables aleatorias (funciones del espacio
  muestral a los reales)
- Esto difiere del uso en [[MAT1203 Algebra Lineal/Conceptos/Variable-Libre|álgebra
  lineal]] donde "variable libre" se refiere a incógnitas en sistemas de ecuaciones

C. Build a Concepts Map of Content (MOC)

Create a Map of Content for each course in a central location:

Create: MAT1610 Calculo I/MOC - Mapa de Conceptos.md

# Mapa de Conceptos - Cálculo I
 
## Conceptos Fundamentales
- [[Limite-de-una-funcion]]
- [[Derivada]]
- [[Integral]]
 
## Por Capítulo
### Cap 1: Límites
- [[Limite-de-una-funcion]]
- [[Limites-Laterales]]
- [[Limites-Infinitos]]
- [[Continuidad-y-Derivabilidad]]
 
### Cap 2: Derivadas
- [[Derivada]]
- [[Regla-de-la-Cadena]]
- [[Derivacion-Implicita]]
 
[etc.]
 
## Conexiones con Otros Cursos
- [[MAT1203 Algebra Lineal/Conceptos/Transformaciones-Lineales]] - La derivada como transformación lineal
- [[EYP1016 Introduccion a la Estadistica/Conceptos/Fórmulas y Conceptos]] - Integrales en esperanza continua

Create: MAT1203 Algebra Lineal/MOC - Mapa de Conceptos.md

Similar structure for linear algebra concepts.

For well-developed concept notes that already link to class notes, ensure class notes link back:

Example:

  • Derivada.md links to 10) Recta Tangente, Velocidad y el Concepto de Derivada
  • But does that class note link back to Derivada.md? (Check and add if missing)

Pattern to implement:

## Concepto Principal
 
Este tema introduce [[Derivada|el concepto de derivada]].
 
[Class content...]
 
## Referencias y Conceptos
 
- [[Derivada]] - Definición formal y propiedades
- [[Limite-de-una-funcion]] - Prerequisito

  1. Identify which class notes introduce or use the concept
  2. Add wikilink from class note to concept note
  3. Add backlink from concept note to class notes

Phase 3: Add Cross-Course Links (Week 4)

  1. Implement the 8 cross-course connections identified in Section 3
  2. Add explanatory notes about how concepts relate across courses

Phase 4: Create MOCs (Week 5)

  1. Build a Map of Content for each course
  2. Create a master “Mathematics Concepts” MOC linking all three courses

Conclusion

This vault has a strong foundation with good content and structure. The primary improvement opportunity is in linking existing content, particularly:

  1. 26 orphaned concept notes in MAT1203 represent the biggest quick win
  2. Cross-course connections will create a richer knowledge graph for interdisciplinary understanding
  3. Systematic bidirectional linking between class notes and concept notes will improve navigation

Estimated Effort:

  • High-priority fixes: 4-6 hours
  • Complete MAT1203 concept linking: 10-15 hours
  • Full implementation: 25-30 hours over 4-6 weeks

Expected Benefits:

  • Easier navigation during study and review
  • Better understanding of concept relationships
  • Reduced cognitive load (concepts defined once, linked everywhere)
  • Foundation for future advanced connections (e.g., multivariable calculus, linear models in statistics)

Next Steps: Review this report and prioritize actions based on upcoming exams and study needs. Consider starting with the course you’re currently studying to see immediate benefits.
