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?”
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.
