well yeah, if you're attending a seminar on algorithmic problems of group theory complexity applied to crypto, you already know some group theory, some algorithms, some ring theory and basic number theory, and I assume you already know other pieces of the basic math curriculum like analysis and some probability since you're doing a lot of probability in ML. OP presumably knows noting but linear algebra after he learns that book
What is the quickest way to learn Linear Algebra?
Xavier Walker
Lincoln Bell
what didn't you like about axler's book? i thought it was pretty good
Jacob Torres
so which should i pick up? i already started with axler now im confused. yes i am starting with 0 LA
William Jackson
you're good with axler
"Advanced linear algebra" is literally advanced: you need tons of more stuff before that, including a full book in linear algebra and some abstract algebra
Jason Russell
OK thanks. I'll stick with Axler. I don't know abstract algebra yet, but will pick that up a bit later. Really been wanting to get my teeth in LA
Samuel Mitchell
Watch the linear algebra series from 3blue1brown on Youtube.
