      “Here’s this header file that implements 99% of the mathematics, because I’m not paid to teach mathematics.”

      Ironically I learned a lot more about linear algebra from that header file than from my actual teacher.

        I just saw a “faster linear algebra” package scroll by on pacman. I almost pulled up the source/documentation.

        The only thing that stopped me was that I have about 199 things more relevant to my usage than linear algebra.
