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

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

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.

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

Is this how Costco keeps their hotdog combo so cheap?

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.

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?”
