Book on Linear Algebra with applications in Julia

I came across this very interesting book titled “Introduction to Applied Linear Algebra – Vectors, Matrices, and Least Squares” by

Stephen Boyd and Lieven Vandenberghe and published by Cambridge University Press.

On the book’s website you can find a pdf file of the book for download. You can also purchase it at a (virtual) bookstore.

Additionally, you can find there more exercises and a Julia language companion.

I think this is a great book and the companion materials are very helpful. I strongly recommend those interested in learning Julia to go over the companion material.

Julia: a powerful computer language

Julia is a programming language that should be of interest for those dealing with big data. Many observers claim that it was developed with the primary goal of high performance. And it is free for everybody to use. You can find its source code on GitHub.

You can download Julia and find its official documentation at the Julia Programming Language webpage.
