In the last decades, the Moore–Penrose pseudoinverse has found a wide range of applications in many areas of science and became a useful tool for physicists dealing, for instance, with optimization problems, with data analysis, with the solution of linear integral equations, etc. The existence of such applications alone should attract the interest of students and researchers in the Moore–Penrose pseudoinverse and in related subjects, such as the singular value decomposition theorem for matrices. In this note, we present a tutorial review of the theory of the Moore–Penrose pseudoinverse. We present the first definitions and some motivations, and after obtaining some basic results, we center our discussion on the spectral theorem and present an algorithmically simple expression for the computation of the Moore–Penrose pseudoinverse of a given matrix. We do not claim originality of the results. We rather intend to present a complete and self-contained tutorial review, useful for those more devoted to applications, for those more theoretically oriented, and for those who already have some working knowledge of the subject.
