Vectors | Chapter 1, Essence of linear algebra
Linear algebra’s foundation is the vector—understood in three closely related ways—and the two operations that make vectors useful: adding vectors...
Change of basis | Chapter 13, Essence of linear algebra
Coordinate systems aren’t just bookkeeping—they encode the geometry of space. In the standard setup, a vector like (3, 2) is interpreted as “3 units...
Spacetime Diagrams | Special Relativity Ch. 2
Relativity starts with a simple but powerful question: when the same physical motion can be described from different perspectives, which parts of the...
Multivariable Calculus 22 | Local Diffeomorphisms
Local diffeomorphisms formalize what coordinate changes do: they behave like smooth, invertible maps once you zoom in far enough, even when they fail...
