between solving complex linear equations, matrices,
and vectors. Tasks such as multiplying and dividing
matrices and vectors are common operations within
math problems based on linear algebra.
Linear algebra is most commonly introduced at
the university level, and my biggest goal for this
book was to create something useful to those who
haven’t completed an engineering degree, and for
that reason, it hasn’t been a major focus of this book.
However, if you enjoyed learning the concepts in this
book, I highly recommend you learn the ins and outs
of linear algebra. For simple robotic arms with two
to four degrees of freedom, ...
