Book Reviews
- If you’ve ever wanted to learn more Linear Algebra to help you understand statistics better, Gil Strang’s MIT Course and book are so good. Even my math prof Grandpa recommended it to me years ago. https://t.co/s0yO5Hy5tt https://t.co/fPiUMdyo4jLink to Tweet
- @BertieArbon Hahaha that book and his lectures are pretty good😂 my grandpa is a mathematician and i think he is the one who convinced me to check it out (I used the David lay book when I took Linear Algebra, but Strang when I reviewed it on my own)Link to Tweet
About Book
Linear algebra is something all mathematics undergraduates and many other students, in subjects ranging from engineering to economics, have to learn. The fifth edition of this hugely successful textbook retains all the qualities of earlier editions while at the same time seeing numerous minor improvements and major additions. The latter include: • A new chapter on singular values and singular vectors, including ways to analyze a matrix of data • A revised chapter on computing in linear algebra, with professional-level algorithms and code that can be downloaded for a variety of languages • A new section on linear algebra and cryptography • A new chapter on linear algebra in probability and statistics. A dedicated and active website also offers solutions to exercises as well as new exercises from many different sources (e.g. practice problems, exams, development of textbook examples), plus codes in MATLAB, Julia, and Python.
