LA is a very useful tool.
But imagine that you never heard of concepts behind it.
It'd just become a more-or-less useful artefact. And in no time it would devolve into a useless ... thing so to say, a decoration, as you lose knowledge how to apply it.
- jjoonathan 5y agoYes, Geometry makes the funnest puzzles :-) Believe me, it pains me to suggest bumping it back. Introductory proofy linear algebra just hits a quadruple home run: it's astonishingly useful, it's getting moreso, it's simple enough to remain age appropriate, and it can serve as an intro to proofs. As much as I enjoy geometry puzzles, I just don't see how they compete with that. For the true fans, of course, the answer today & in this hypothetical future is still to learn both.
