Maybe this line

>It is application oriented; it has more theorem proofs than I need, but it at least does not skip application examples

And that it focuses entirely on library use cases. But I see now that's the explicit goal, and I'm projecting my needs for more articles providing clarity on the theory onto your article :)



In my opinion, there is no shortage of good math textbooks of all levels providing clarity on theory. There is also no (or not too much) shortage of good numerical software for LA. What's missing is the time to be both good at theory, and have mastery of numerical software, and general software engineering.

As I am not a mathematician, I can not write even a passably good theoretical LA tutorial, yet alone one that is better what is currently available. The goal of these articles is: You've read the math text -> here's how you can try this in Clojure. Nothing more than that.


Yeah that's totally fair
