Land on Vector Spaces: Practical Linear Algebra with Python | SciPy 2019 Tutorial | L Barba, T Wang

Linear algebra is the foundational mathematical subject that everyone needs to know today. Get lost, calculus! Conventional presentations of linear algebra in undergraduate STEM curricula are overly focused on rules and memorization, overloaded with nomenclature, and slowed down by pen-and-paper methods. This tutorial skips the rule-based procedures and instead uses a visualization-rich approach and computation with NumPy to illuminate the concepts and usefulness of linear algebra. We promise a launching pad for participants to venture into this subject and continue learning after, with a solid conceptual grasp and none of the slog. You don't need previous experience in the subject; some recollection of having learned about matrices and linear systems of equations could help, but is not required.

Good lecture. Humorous part for me:
There was a moment during this when she's showing a transformation of a transformation, and she says, "you can almost just do this in your head, " and I immediately felt like an idiot. Then later, around 1:19:00, she said the 1999 movie was 30 years old, and I felt like a genius.

This is a really nice session! shame that it had to end in such hurry! would have been really nice if the eigen stuff was given more time!!

@Enthought Can I get the link to the git repo?

why i am getting error in plot of vector:
vectors = [(2, 2)]
tails = [(-3, -2), (-3, 1), (0, 0), (1, -3)]
plot_vector(vectors, tails)

NameError Traceback (most recent call last)
in <module>
----> 1 plot_vector(vectors, tails)

NameError: name 'plot_vector' is not defined
