it seems i’ve been posting just about monthly so far. this is a decent pace — i expect it’ll get better.
nearly done with my preliminary studies of linear algebra: have ditched the previous course in favor of serge lang’s (hmm, have i mentioned this already? *checks. yes, i have.) okay, more up to date then, i’m actually reading lang’s introduction to linear algebra. while beezer’s text was good, it seems to be aimed more towards those studying math as a requisite for other studies rather than those interested in math itself (i don’t say math major or non-major, because, well, i’m not in college). this just wasn’t what i wanted. at the same time, lang’s book is much to my liking in being concise (at times a touch too concise, but nothing unconquerable if you’re dedicated and ready for linear algebra itself).
i’ve been finding myself bored with the internet lately; this is probably a good sign, as it means i’m using the internet as a tool for studies and communications and not as an end in itself. oddly, this might mean more posts. we’ll see. not like there’s anyone really dying for the next post.
i’m off to begin reading the hobbit and go to bed now. potentially more later.
