What you guys think about this book?

>> No.10939953

>>10939951
read Shilov, Axler, Lax if you want to understand linear algebra (or just Shilov and Lax)

>> No.10939963

>>10939951
>Axler
Axler is a meme.

>> No.10940328

its time to stop

>>10939951
I used it with axler to supplement- not too bad in all honesty. though our stupid jew teacher taught to fucking slow to be able to make it fully into the last chapters of orthogonality. The only other text I usually hear of is by Strang, but trust me, its a bland and boring ass text from what I first made not of by flipping through a few pages

Oof, yikes, cringe. Read Hoffman and Kunze. Axler is a meme. Strang is a meme. Shilov is for children.

Is this an ongoing joke I'm not aware of?

>> No.10940788

>>10940454
they say that to just about everything. usually Lang's texts, but Axler is too reputable to be called a meme. His text on lin alg is just so elegant and poise. Well worth checking out.

glad to hear because it is what I am currently reading

It'll teach you the material even if you're a brainlet who isn't willing to put in any effort. It's good, better than Strang.

He's literally afraid of determinants.

I'm learning from it rn at uni
I dont have a point of reference but imo it's very digestible
Honestly, spending so much of your time choosing a textbook is fucming retard, just open a book and do the exercises

Can it explain in great deal why the derivative is a linear operator?

d(u+v)=du+dv

into the trash it goes.

>> No.10942199

>>10942172
Hmmm. But what if I only have one function u.
Say, ln(x). ln'(x) = 1/x. Is this operation linear too? We take one non-linear function and produce another non-linear function and it is a linear operation?

>> No.10942545

Where do u go? I'm using this book too

It can operate on any fucked up nonlinear differentiable function you can think of. That doesn't change the fact that it itself is linear

Lol or you could just read Lax and pick up the rest of the computational side from lecture notes instead of insulting perfectly serviceable texts like Shilov and Axler.

>> No.10944638

there are 1000000 books on linear algebra.
that can be roughly split into 3 different levels based on the topics/complexity.

What do you recommend for a brainlet compsci student who hasn't done linear algebra since high school?

We were recommended this online resource since we're just using for computer graphics but I would curious to learn it a bit more indepth in my own time.
