New heights of math geekdom
OMG OMG! Gilbert Strang is coming to my school to give a talk! I’m so excited! I think I’ll bring my copy of his Linear Algebra book for him to sign. eeee!
(at least half of our linear algebra prelim comes from his book – but no class teaches from it. So, if his book was not so good that I could read it and learn from it on my own, I would have failed the prelim and thus been out of the program by now. )
