I had a lot of work to do for my day job, we are trying to build and commercialize V2 of our intercom system, and I was faced with technical difficulties that left me very little time to work on math / ML. I still found the time to finish The Manga Guide to Linear Algebra, and learned a few important concepts and techniques!

Still, I did a few things

TIL about [subspaces], [linear spans], the [rank] of a matrix and a technique to find it via Gaussian Eliminination — as usual, linear algebra appears to be the art of applying Gaussian Elimination correctly —, [Eigenvalues] and [Eigenvectors]! That was still packed!

I skimmed through the materials for Scratch To Scale, the course I’m following by Scott Mueller, beginning tomorrow.
