on “Ask HN: What's your favourite book to understand linear algebra for CS?” ↗…reading a maths book from cover to cover is a very powerful experience. It may take months, but you will learn something significant from doing it. And if you do that for say Thomas's Calculus and Anton's Elementary Linear Algebra, that's about half of a maths degree already. Anyway, I'm happy to discuss these topics further with you (or anyone else reading this). I'd personally love to find a serious online community for studying…

on “Power Method for Approximating Eigenvalues [pdf]” ↗My alma mater took an interesting approach in that they dived right into vector spaces right away. At the time we used Elementary Linear Algebra by Nicholson in the prof's custom order, but it seems they've since written an open textbook based on that approach: https://ruor.uottawa.ca/items/f66a4ede-e276-486c-9067-9621d5...
