  For anyone who doesn’t know, this is what linear algebra looks like

  • Zink@programming.dev ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    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.

        It probably has something to do with The Elite.

      I agree, all the other examples here are not on a single line. Some of the letters are on top of other letters, definitely not linear.

    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.

    One time at work I was trying to work out a least-squares fit using linear algebra.

    I have no background knowledge in library algebra, it felt like drawing a pentagram on the floor and chanting in backwards Latin.

    you got to use numbers? i’m so jealous. we had to use matrices of variables when i learned it

    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.

      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?”

    Thats not too bad. It just takes up a lot of space. Good thing I do my maths on an android tablet

      may i ask what device you use? do you use a stylus pen?

      source

      • SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Galaxy Tab S6 with the built-in stylus. It’s saved me piles of paper and I like not running out of page

  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

  I see your linear algebra and raise you nonlinear acoustics: boom!

    I’m going all-in on transonic fluid dynamics. All the joy of nonlinear acoustics, with a little navier stokes as a treat.
