- | <note tip> | + | <blockquote>Linear algebra gives you mini-spreadsheets for your math equations. |
- | Explanations in this section should contain no formulas, but instead colloquial things like you would hear them during a coffee break or at a cocktail party. | + | |
- | </note> | + | We can take a table of data (a matrix) and create updated tables from the original. It’s the power of a spreadsheet written as an equation. |

+ | * Vector Calculus, Linear Algebra, and Differential Forms: A Unified Approach by John H. Hubbard and Barbara Burke Hubbard - Extremely student friendly, lots of margin notes that talk about the "soft" stuff that's so crucial to the actual practice of math. Reading just the margins jumps your mathematical maturity by 2 years. | ||
