@akshaykagrawal I have often felt that while linear algebra is for everybody, I had thought it evolved for engineering applications. Here is a lecture I put together that I didn't find in any other linear algebra class to address the issues discussed in this tweet:

It's a shame that Stanford's computer science curriculum doesn't emphasize linear algebra. Linear algebra isn't a required course, not even for the AI track! (1/)

Fun with Julia and Numerical Linear Algebra inspired by Terry's blog:
@zlisto@J_P_Vielma@NumFOCUS A very well known colleague of mine in computer science at MIT once suggested a Solomon-esque solution: 0? 1? let's just use ½, and settle it once and for all!
Today I told a group of MIT undergrads how I use Julia to play fantasy sports and they groaned. They hate Julia. When asked why, they said because the indexing starts at 1, not 0. @J_P_Vielma or @NumFOCUS can u help here?
