We well use this matrix to define the approximation $\hat{\tilde{y}}$ via the unknown quantity $\hat{\beta}$ as
!bt
\[
\hat{\tilde{y}}= \hat{X}\hat{\beta},
\]
!et
and in order to find the optimal parameters $\beta_i$ instead of solving the above linear algebra problem, we define a function which gives a measure of the spread between the values $y_i$ (which represent hopefully the exact values) and the parametrized values $\tilde{y}_i$, namely
!bt
\[
Q(\hat{\beta})=\sum_{i=0}^{n-1}\left(y_i-\tilde{y}_i\right)^2=\left \hat{y}-\hat{\tilde{y}}\right)^T\left \hat{y}-\hat{\tilde{y}}\right),
\]
!et
or using the matrix $\hat{X}$ as
!bt
\[
Q(\hat{\beta})=\left \hat{y}-\hat{X}\hat{\beta}\right)^T\left \hat{y}-\hat{X}\hat{\beta}\right).

The function
!bt
\[
Q(\hat{\beta})=\left \hat{y}-\hat{X}\hat{\beta}\right)^T\left \hat{y}-\hat{X}\hat{\beta}\right),
\]
!et
can be linked to the variance of the quantity $y_i$ if we interpret the latter as the mean value of for example a numerical experiment. When linking below with the maximum likelihood approach below, we will indeed interpret $y_i$ as a mean value
!bt
\[
y_{i}=\langle y_i \rangle = \beta_0x_{i,0}+\beta_1x_{i,1}+\beta_2x_{i,2}+\dots+\beta_{n-1}x_{i,n-1}+\epsilon_i,
\]
!et
where $\langle y_i \rangle$ is the mean value. Keep in mind also that till now we have treated $y_i$ as the exact value. Normally, the response (dependent or outcome) variable $y_i$ the outcome of a numerical experiment or another type of experiment and is thus only an approximation to the true value. It is then always accompanied by an error estimate, often limited to a statistical error estimate given by the standard deviation discussed earlier. In the discussion here we will treat $y_i$ as our exact value for the response variable.
In order to find the parameters $\beta_i$ we will then minimize the spread of $Q(\hat{\beta})$ by requiring
!bt
\[
\frac{\partial Q(\hat{\beta})}{\partial \beta_j} = \frac{ }{\partial \beta_j}\left[ \sum_{i=0}^{n-1}\left(y_i-\beta_0x_{i,0}+\beta_1x_{i,1}+\beta_2x_{i,2}+\dots+\beta_{n-1}x_{i,n-1}\right)^2\right]=0,
\]
!et
which results in
!bt
\[
\frac{\partial Q(\hat{\beta})}{\partial \beta_j} = -2\left[ \sum_{i=0}^{n-1}x_{ij}\left(y_i-\beta_0x_{i,0}+\beta_1x_{i,1}+\beta_2x_{i,2}+\dots+\beta_{n-1}x_{i,n-1}\right)\right]=0,
\]
!et
or in a matrix-vector form as
!bt
\[
\frac{\partial Q(\hat{\beta})}{\partial \hat{\beta}} = 0 = \hat{X}^T\left( \hat{y}-\hat{X}\hat{\beta}\right).
