lowkey wish I was in school again. this is so cool

I LOVE this book! Where was it when I was learning algebra, years ago?? Thanks for posting. I wish there were many other books done similarly. Selfishly, I'd love to see statistics, probability and advanced robotics displayed this way. <3 <3

Very nice. Clean presentation that tells you what you need to know to move from one section to the next, which is more than I can say for most of these efforts. The 'tooltips' are also a nice touch. If someone wanted to go nuts with this concept, they could allow the user to highlight any sentence, equation, or individual symbol to bring up an 'Explain this' popup option.

Making intuitive illustrations and graphs was very time consuming. Now with LLMs it is so much easier and faster. Hopefully books will be rewritten.

dude i remember seeing this a long time ago from explorabl.es

This is super nice. Seeing interactive graphics like this along with tutorial videos and the new Prism LaTeX editor from OpenAI make this an exciting time for math education. At the same time, AI advances on open problems in research and with LLM technology like with Axiom are making it an exciting time for math research as well.

Why are programmers always so attracted by these interactive/over-simplified/lightweight versions of linear algebra? They all focus on the visual aspects while ignoring the real stuff (theorems, proofs, etc.).

never trusting something made by a swede (yes im norwegian)
