PCA via SVD

Geometry and algebra of linear maps, vectors, and matrices

Principal component analysis finds the directions in which your data varies most, then lets you describe each point with just a few of those directions instead of all the original features. It is the standard tool for dimensionality reduction, and under the hood it is SVD applied to your data.
