The book is even worse: "A vector, by contrast, is an ordered collection of numbers."
This is a terrible definition and makes talking about proper linear algebra proper impossible.

- tamnd 1y agoEvery contribution is welcome: whether it's criticism, fixing typos, or even completely rewriting a section! Writing this book has been a real challenge for me, since all the books I enjoy reading are very formal ones :)) Anyone here into Grothendieck's SGA or EGA? (Sorry, a bit off topic!)
- tamnd 1y agoI tried to build intuition before going into the formal definitions. Personally, I've always liked Bourbaki's books, but they're too formal for learning - especially in linear algebra, which I see as something meant for applications rather than pure math research. Maybe I just oversimplified things or made them feel less "math".
