The-Art-of-Linear-Algebra

Graphic notes on Gilbert Strang's "Linear Algebra for Everyone" by Kenji Hiranabe with the kindest help from Gilbert Strang. The output PDF files are listed below.

Abstract

I tried intuitive visualizations of important concepts introduced in "Linear Algebra for Everyone".

This is aimed at promoting understanding of vector/matrix calculations and algorithms from the perspectives of matrix factorizations. They include Column-Row ( $CR$ ), Gaussian Elimination ( $LU$ ), Gram-Schmidt Orthogonalization ( $QR$ ), Eigenvalues and Diagonalization ( $Q\Lambda Q^\top$), and Singular Value Decomposition ( $U\Sigma V^\top$ ).

5 Factorizations

Also includes other graphics.

The Book 📕

The Japanese book of this paper has been published in 2026. Let me know if overseas publishers are interested in publishing this in English.
