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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eNo Bullshit Guide to Linear Algebra\u003c\/strong\u003e 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 to speed up tedious matrix arithmetic tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"\u003cem\u003eThe book explains the concepts in a way that gives a strong intuitive understanding.\u003c\/em\u003e\" - Joe Nestor, student\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"\u003cem\u003eIt's very well written and a fun read \u003c\/em\u003e\" - Felix Kwok, professor\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"\u003cem\u003eI used this book in multiple big data courses when I needed a deeper understanding of the material.\u003c\/em\u003e\" - Zane Zakraisek, student\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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 McGill University.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Minireference Co.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/25\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780992001025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 596\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.51w x 1.21d","brand":"Ivan Savov","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":38024390312117,"sku":"9780992001025","price":33.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_aa48e0f7-a0f0-4e24-945a-b9887d2cc35b.jpg?v=1609187175","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/no-bullshit-guide-to-linear-algebra-9780992001025","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
