I feel your pain. You can pretty much blame either MATLAB origins or an relentless pursuit of runtime efficiency for most of these problems

I have both Axler and Strang. I learned from Axler but occasionally use Strang as a reference. I find that Axler emphasizes the algebra part of linear algebra while Strang emphasizes the linear part. One isn't better than the other but

I forget where I heard it, but someone once pointed out that AI, before the recent DL boom, refers to things that we don't know how to do. As soon as we know how to solve a problem, it gets a much more apt name.

I don't know if they still do, but I know the Japanese used Fuzzy Logic for a while to schedule their trains. The distinction between fuzzy logic and the Bayesian interpretation of probability has always been unclear to me.

Some of the things you mentioned, like SLAM, are not tied to cameras and used with LIDAR as well.

I've seen probably a half dozen things JJ has worked on, but none of them end up being any good. He normally starts out with a pretty good premise, but it rapidly becomes apparent that he doesn't know what to do with it. Besides S

Depends on the context. In the US, I've had a lot of classes where the professor tells everyone to call them by their first name (most people don't end up doing that). Also if you work more closely with them as a research assistan
