From simulating complex phenomenon on supercomputers to storing information for modern 3D printing, the mathematics of data is a huge part of our world. A major tool to manipulate and study such data is linear algebra. This book introduces concepts of matrix algebra with an emphasis on applications, particularly in the fields of computer graphics and data mining. Readers will learn to make an image transparent, compress an image, and rotate a 3D wireframe model. In data mining, readers will use linear algebra to read zip codes on envelopes and encrypt sensitive information. The book details methods behind web search, ... Read more

Reviews for When Life is Linear: From Computer Graphics to Bracketology (Anneli Lax New Mathematical Library)
...Only very little previous knowledge is necessary to benefit from the book. The main content are real-life applications of linear algebra, and their list is impressive... the reader will be surprised by them… So, if you can't imagine what linear algebra is good for, read this book, get captivated, and start to explore on you own." - Dieter Riebesehl, Zentrallblatt ...
