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).
@gbol annoying, I want to know the application but I have to learn the mumbo jumbo of the definitions where they nitpick every letter
isnt least sqaures fitting a patial derivative?
optimized to zero
Gotta get your ridiculous english language 20 letter definitions to learn what should be pure logic @Renaar
@RussianHacker The equation for linear least squares fitting is beta = (X_transpose * X)^-1 * X_transpose * y.
oh i see, its multi variate
i had to do proof of this in my regressoin modeling class
MULTIVARIATE IS ONE WORD
- 10 POINTS
B+
-every college professor
lol if i can get C in Thoery of linear modeling class ill be happy
Lol
I feel like wrestling is simultaneously one of the best mediums for expression and at the same time the most shit
and I can't watch it at all
but it has so much potential
What
Wrestling like wwe
Of what
yeah
