Some Basic Concepts in Linear Algebra
The following three articles explain three basic concepts we get exposed to in the beginning of Linear Algebra: Linear Independence, Span and Basis. The author, Mike Beneschan, who’s a math tutor, uses basic paint analogy to explain the three concepts in a very interesting way that tends to stick to the mind because of its simplicity. While you can work with these concepts without fully grasping their meaning, it’s much more enjoyable and sort of makes the maths colorful when you deeply understand the meaning behind the words.
