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, quantum mechanics, and countless other applications. 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 Sym - Py to speed up tedious matrix arithmetic tasks." The book explains the concepts in a way that gives a strong intuitive understanding." - Joe Nestor, student"It's very well written and a fun read " - Felix Kwok, professor"I used this book in multiple big data courses when I needed a deeper understanding of the material." - Zane Zakraisek, student - The author, Ivan Savov, combines 17 years of tutoring experience with a B.Eng. in electrical engineering, an M.Sc. in physics, and a Ph. - D. in computer science from Mc - Gill University.
