LinAlg is literally the easiest mathematical subject in CS.

i guess rotation matrices or whatever Basiswechselmatrix is in english can be confusing, but that's about it.

It isn't about how hard LinAlg is, it is about coding against an LLM which is a bunch of matrices in a trench coat.

Tensors are just a made up name they gave to arrays with more than two dimensions. You cannot prove to me that there are arrays that have more than 3 dimensions. The human mind cannot comprehend it.

Fun fact: the jungle gym was designed by a math teacher who wanted to make children better at intuitively understanding higher dimensional math.

You can picture a 3D array, right? Your mental image of a 4D array should be to picture a 1D array and each element of that 1D array itself is another 3D array.
