@gbol Thank you for the very useful comments, Trumpy. So can you actually help this project?

@RussianHacker yes I do

I even tutor some linear algebra

I have told you my skills

Sir.

😄

@Renaar so i have to teach it to my self this summer cause my PI for grad school wants me to take theory of linear models

I do not pretend to be that which I am not.

I am a great teller of what is shit and what is not.

@Renaar whats a good resource to learn it bitch

i have done some programming and a little chem that use systems of equations and matrixs

@RussianHacker it's a lot of bullshit mathematical proofs but at the same time it's worth it because of the crazy amount for applications

Amount of

@RussianHacker from my brain

@Renaar do i need alot of calc for it

@RussianHacker Linear algebra is great. I would avoid the MIT OpenCourseWare on it, though.

Do you need to know it like for a test on the course or for using it for calculations

Wait, is linear algebra not taught in HS?

Wasn't for me

Or usually, at least?

Gonna teach my kids it

i need it to do linear modeling

I learned it in early HS/ middle school

Then again I went to a private school

@RussianHacker like a bunch of linear equations

Solving?

Super easy

i need to do some proofs on why linear regression models and anovas work

I might have PDFs somewhere

and they reccomend some linear aljebra

Uhhhh linear regression models a little outa my league

What's it for?

My roommate might know about that

computational population genetics

Honestly the only difficult part of learning higher mathematics is the shitloads of ridiculously overcomplicated terminology

genomics actually

@RussianHacker I can tell you that a good linear algebra book should include determinants, eigenvectors and eigenvalues, characteristic polynomials, principal value decompositions and possibly least squares fitting, along with the basics like dot products and the Cauchy-Schwartz Inequality (but then, determinants are also basics).

Possibly other topics as well.

@gbol annoying, I want to know the application but I have to learn the mumbo jumbo of the definitions where they nitpick every letter
