Yes, it's important to understand the formulas and theoretical ideas, but applying linear algebra operations in the real world will always involve some computational platform and not pen and paper. This is the only book I know that shows readers the practical computational linear algebra in parallel with the theory.

The author provides computational notebooks for each chapter on GitHub, which makes it easy to explore all the material…
