For anyone who doesn't know, this is what linear algebra looks like

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I've never had it

[–] Zink@programming.dev 14 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

y = mx + b

It's algebra. It's linear. 😬

[–] Whelks_chance@lemmy.world 3 points 16 hours ago

I agree, all the other examples here are not on a single line. Some of the letters are on top of other letters, definitely not linear.

[–] save_the_humans@leminal.space 8 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

No way, dude. Thats affine, not algebra, and not linear. Its a lie meant to divide us.

[–] MrKoyun@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

It probably has something to do with The Elite.

[–] save_the_humans@leminal.space 2 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

Yes, The Elite Lie group where inverses allow for division.

you got to use numbers? i'm so jealous. we had to use matrices of variables when i learned it

[–] Pman@lemmy.org 4 points 18 hours ago

For me the variables made it a bit easier

Is this how Costco keeps their hotdog combo so cheap?

[–] Bahnd@lemmy.world 6 points 22 hours ago

That and the threat of the CEO going full Patrick Bateman on the board.

One time at work I was trying to work out a least-squares fit using linear algebra.

I have no background knowledge in linesr algebra, it felt like drawing a pentagram on the floor and chanting in backwards Latin.

[–] yetAnotherUser@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That's not a fair example, I know what linear algebra is but can't tell what's going on.

Change of basis would be my guess, but that's pretty basic.

You could've provided something far worse, like a manual construction of the Jordan normal form of a large matrix.

[–] Console_Modder@sh.itjust.works 5 points 22 hours ago

It's been more than a handful of years since I had to learn linear algebra so I am very out of practice, and this was the first image that I saw that made me go, "yeah, that looks about right." I thought I should include some image since I have told people during college that I was in a linear algebra class and several had the same response of, "Really? I learned algebra in high school. Weren't you in calculas last semester?"
