Title: Programming with Linear Algebra: Hello World

"Programming with Linear Algebra: Hello World"
Kick-starting the understanding of an unfamiliar topic might be
the steepest point in any programming journey. Following the recent AI boom, you might be hearing about matrices and tensors left and right, you probably even know some basics from your math education, but you simply can’t see how to use that in daily programming, in tasks that are not straight out of sci-fi. You might even have tried some software
libraries, but haven’t progressed beyond using them as fancy arrays.
Here, we'll help you take that first step right away, and - if you take it - show you a path that can lead you quite further.
Dragan has been using Clojure for 15 years for fun and profit, and has been teaching programming and AI at university for even longer. He loves learning new topics, and finding a way how to make them work in practice. Loves teaching even more. The author of a few nice Clojure libraries (github.com/uncomplicate) and a fer Clojure books (aiprobook.com).

Great presentation, Professor, as always!
Your Clojure libraries are amazing.
Thank you

I find the way you explained the problem very useful as I never thought about using linear algebra directly especially when dealing with large quantities of data. It also help what actually happens inside libraries. Thank you Dragan!
