Instead of starting with margins and geometry, this article builds the Support Vector Machine step by step from familiar models. By changing the loss function and reusing regularization, SVM appears naturally as a linear classifier trained by optimization. This perspective unifies logistic regression, SVM, and other linear models into a single, coherent framework.
