I am a freak who really enjoys linear algebra. It’s actually quite heartening to discover that even amongst my friend group of weirdos, there are still freaks
It’s been more than a handful of years since I had to learn linear algebra so I am very out of practice, and this was the first image that I saw that made me go, “yeah, that looks about right.” I thought I should include some image since I have told people during college that I was in a linear algebra class and several had the same response of, “Really? I learned algebra in high school. Weren’t you in calculas last semester?”

The only thing i understand from that book is the title.
I see your linear algebra and raise you nonlinear acoustics: boom!
For anyone who doesn’t know, this is what linear algebra looks like
EZ
you got to use numbers? i’m so jealous. we had to use matrices of variables when i learned it
For me the variables made it a bit easier
y = mx + b
It’s algebra. It’s linear. 😬
No way, dude. Thats affine, not algebra, and not linear. Its a lie meant to divide us.
One time at work I was trying to work out a least-squares fit using linear algebra.
I have no background knowledge in linesr algebra, it felt like drawing a pentagram on the floor and chanting in backwards Latin.
I solved it. Answer hotdog
Is this how Costco keeps their hotdog combo so cheap?
That and the threat of the CEO going full Patrick Bateman on the board.
That’s not a fair example, I know what linear algebra is but can’t tell what’s going on.
Change of basis would be my guess, but that’s pretty basic.
You could’ve provided something far worse, like a manual construction of the Jordan normal form of a large matrix.
