Focus exclusively on feature scaling and normalization using Python's scikit-learn. Learn why scaling is necessary, how to apply StandardScaler, MinMaxScaler, and MaxAbsScaler, and gain hands-on practice with real data preprocessing challenges. Ideal for preparing data for distance-based algorithms and robust unsupervised learning workflows.

Challenge: Whitening via Eigenvalue Decomposition
