I do not get how you see disdain for math there?
- krosaen 9y agoMaybe this line >It is application oriented; it has more theorem proofs than I need, but it at least does not skip application examples And that it focuses entirely on library use cases. But I see now that's the explicit goal, and I'm projecting my needs for more articles providing clarity on the theory onto your article :)
- dragandj 9y agoIn my opinion, there is no shortage of good math textbooks of all levels providing clarity on theory. There is also no (or not too much) shortage of good numerical software for LA. What's missing is the time to be both good at theory, and have mastery of numerical software, and general software engineering. As I am not a mathematician, I can not write even a passably good theoretical LA tutorial, yet alone one that is better what is currently available. The goal of these articles is: You've read the math text -> here's how you can try this in Clojure. Nothing more than that.
- krosaen 9y agoYeah that's totally fair
- aswanson 9y agoCompletely off topic, but Belgrade looks beautiful. Can you recommend any non touristy places to see while visiting?
- dragandj 9y agoMost places are still non-touristy compared to more well-known European capitals, so that won't be a problem.
- Rovanion 9y agoJust be prepared that it may be really hard to find a resturant with a (real) non-smoking section.
- aswanson 9y agoCool, thanks. Any good night spots and places to eat?
- dragandj 9y agoMost visitors would like to try nightclubs on the river bank, and try local restaurants at Skadarlija, but that is really a matter of taste. Belgrade has a population of 1.5 million, and it lives 24/7/365 so you won't be bored whatever you like. Cafes are full during the day, and nightclubs during the night practically every day of the week.
