Linear algebra can turn a question about sets, geometry or computation into a question about vectors, independence or matrices. This course follows those connections through concise examples inspired by Jiří Matoušek’s Thirty-three Miniatures.
The archive includes the 2023 reading group and the 2024 summer course. Materials explore fast computation of Fibonacci numbers, intersections of set families, coding, geometry, graph structure and counting. These examples show linear algebra working as a method of proof and an algorithmic tool.
