Leyendo el resto de los comentarios, sigo sin entender porqué habría de ser más difícil aprender de una manera u otra. Estoy de acuerdo con la idea de que sea estándar. En el peor de los casos (si fue…

As someone who is latin american, I never understood what is the obsession with identity in the US. American hispanics I've talked to use it as something of a catch-all concept, but I've obs…

Curious about your level of mathematics exposure? I remember that maybe in the most basic introduction to higher maths words were coupled with my reasoning, but later on reasoning was wordless (Jacque…

I remember that in a graduate class the professor told that among the important contributions of the theory was the BS formula. He never told us precisely what you wrote: P/L is in the tails. I w…

>This is sort of like throwing out physics because Newtonian mechanics don’t account for fluid dynamics. >having been shown, empirically, to work. What exactly do you mean by this? That they are…

That is a good point. I am on the other side - excessively academic. One thing I've noticed is that understanding something does not equal having working knowledge of it (knowing how to implement…

Ctrl+F on the words stem, math, science, engineering, major, humanities gives no results or clue about the type of major people are choosing. Considering that it refers to the gender differences when …

Thanks, I'll look it up. The best textbook from which I studied (operators) was Elon Lima's Algebra Linear. Sadly the only physical copies are sold in Brazil.

Giraffe in the arctic, after seeing other submissions I think no other is similar: https://paint.wtf/ranking/IdF9/mHjesZ4qkfj6JqljXsdk …

In college I was taught Linear Algebra from the operator point of view, rather than with matrices. That way theorems are clearer and the student's understanding is deeper, but for applications it…

Reading the comments in this thread, I am surprised to see that many think it lacks math. I am majoring in applied math (all my professors are french-school mathematicians, in a non american universit…
