Summary

Linear algebra is the foundation of science and engineering。 Knowledge of linear algebra is a prerequisite for studying statistics, machine learning, computer graphics, signal processing, chemistry, economics, and quantum mechanics。 Indeed, linear algebra offers a powerful toolbox for modelling the real world。

The NO BULLSHIT guide to LINEAR ALGEBRA shows the connections between the computational techniques of linear algebra, their geometric interpretations, and the theoretical foundations。 This university-level textbook contains lessons on linear algebra written in a style that is precise and concise。 Each concept is illustrated through definitions, formulas, diagrams, explanations, and examples of real-world applications。 Readers build their math superpowers by solving practice problems and learning to use the computer algebra system SymPy。

The author has 15 years of tutoring experience, a B。Eng。 in electrical engineering, a M。Sc。 in physics, and a Ph。D。 in computer science from McGill University。

A mix of academic rigour and mathematical intuition。 The author knows which concepts should be stressed and repeats them over many chapters。 The best part is that the author provides applications in the real-world with an entire chapter dedicated to it, which reinforces the understanding。 I would recommend watching 3blue1brown's linear algebra videos along with it。 A mix of academic rigour and mathematical intuition。 The author knows which concepts should be stressed and repeats them over many chapters。 The best part is that the author provides applications in the real-world with an entire chapter dedicated to it, which reinforces the understanding。 I would recommend watching 3blue1brown's linear algebra videos along with it。 。。。more

It finally clicked。 All it took was this one book。 If only that's how they taught linear algebra in college。。。 It finally clicked。 All it took was this one book。 If only that's how they taught linear algebra in college。。。 。。。more

This book is a good reference for someone who needs to know linear algebra but won't be taking a full course on it。 My only gripe is that some concepts could have been covered in a bit more depth, and some of the application chapters at the end seemed unnecessary。 This book is a good reference for someone who needs to know linear algebra but won't be taking a full course on it。 My only gripe is that some concepts could have been covered in a bit more depth, and some of the application chapters at the end seemed unnecessary。 。。。more

It's a brilliant book to understand LA。 It provides the basic foundation needed to understand more advance topics in LA and related fields like ML, physics, and CS。 It's a brilliant book to understand LA。 It provides the basic foundation needed to understand more advance topics in LA and related fields like ML, physics, and CS。 。。。more

Excellent。 I skipped the chapter on QM though
