This is really good - miles ahead of almost all other math writing I have read. One particular thing I really liked was the explanation of the determinant. When I was in college I spent a very long time trying to get some intuitive explanation for a determinant of a matrix and the best I could get is that you just multiplied and subtracted some numbers and poof there you go. I KNEW there had to be some more comprehensible explanation and it drove me crazy that people just parroted textbooks without any real understanding.

This reminds me of that silly video everyone was shown in middle school about inverting a sphere :-)

I am very curious how it was written (will there be a write up to the write up?!). It feels likely AI assisted, but this seems to me to be the best possible use of AI -- crunching out a bunch of visualizations of complex ideas so that they are easy to understand just by looking. The writing also feels a little AI written but definitely feels very human-assisted.

Seems like it was entirely AI written (claude) from the commits:

Shows how well prompted AI can significantly improve human understanding.

It's the slop patterns that seem to turn people off.
