Just as there are different languages for different
minds ... My own reaction is that computational linear
algebra is so beautiful that rendering it boring should
be a felony. Personally, I see eigenvalues everywhere--
planting onions, coding HTML, changing flat tires. I
understand that not everyone shares that perspective.
Given a bit more leisure, I'm sure I can tie this back
in to the Python-for-education threads. Not this morn-
ing, though.
