Review: The pure maths of linear algebra are, let's face it, quite distant from the real world applications. It would take an eloquent teacher to relate the real world problem to the matrix description of the real world concept, show the maths operations and relate these, or at least the result back to the real world. It's clear enough that bridging this conceptual gulf was in the mind of the author and a valiant attempt was made, but somehow I was left on one side of the abyss or the other without finding the bridge. Maybe I was looking for the wrong analogy.
