   Linear algebra is cool, no doubt. This blog post is certainly well written and explains how to think of matrices as functions. I have written a blog post[1] that describes matrices as functions. This blog post is titled "Correcting common mathematical misconceptions" and walks through N dimensions, linear functions and linear algebra. After explaining what linear functions are, I mentioned nonlinear functions and ho…

   > Hence, a question like this may not have a unique right answer. If you allow philosophers in, you will definitely not have a unique answer :) I'm not sure if this is what you're describing, but many nonlinear[1] math problems have no closed form solution[2]. That means you can't use any regular function, all the operators and the infinitely real numbers to describe every solution: you can only use the infinitely r…

   I'm a senior in college. I've learned about a host of mathematical concepts that are misunderstood by popular media (N dimensions, linear algebra, linear functions). Wanting to correct these topics, I wrote a blog post[1] about them. But this blog post blossomed into much more than I was expecting. I was expecting to cover only those specific details, but then I got into nonlinear problems that have no closed form s…

   I wrote a blog post[1] about the Fourier transform and lenses. Lenses taking Fourier transforms has surprising evolutionary effects. [1]: http://scottsievert.github.io/blog/2014/05/27/fourier-transf...
