My introductory linear algebra class also used polynomials over R, which led to examples like using projection to construct a polynomial approximation of a non-polynomial function.
- mej10 14y agoYes! This and some other basic optimization problems were such a great taste of what is possible with linear algebra.
- impendia 14y agoI agree, this is an excellent example.
