You're right, I did mistakenly mix a few concepts together. The series representation for the function is infinite, like you say. What I was misapplying was the idea that a converg…

My memory is fuzzy on the details, but there's a way to show that if you have a series representation of a function that equals that converges to a=that function (i.e., an infinite…

Matrix functions (at least ones I learned about way back when) are Taylor series representations of a function with the matrix plugged in. For example: exp(A) = I + A + A^2/2 + ...…

I've only watched about five of the videos on it, but Keenan Crane's intro to computer graphics series is pretty great (he's a CS professor at Carnegie Mellon): https://www.youtube…

There are a couple of other comments that have mentioned oscillation modes, vibrations, etc. The first 7 pages of this series on sound synthesis might help give an idea of where th…

> I got a B in Linear Algebra, and I still can't describe why you'd need that in the real world, while calculus/diff eq/discrete math were clearly tied to physics/thermodynamcis/co…

I think it's a typo. \int_a^x f'(t)dt should be f(x) - f(a), and that would be the fundamental theorem of calculus (or some corollary of it). It looks like either f(a+x) should be …
