beginner

At last years conference the Linear Algebra library proposal was unveiled. This year we will review its progress and learn about specialising for geometry. Expect to learn a little bit of history, discover how to overcome the ghastly difficulties of working with a limited subset of the rational numbers, and look at a set of animations that wouldn't be out of place on an elderly Open University TV programme.
