Don't worry, linear algebra can seem daunting at first, but it's not as complicated as it may seem

"Don't worry, linear algebra can seem daunting at first, but it's not as complicated as it may seem". Thanks for that one CHAT GPT


"Vectors of the same dimension (having the same number of components) can be added or subtracted"

BUT WHYYY

Chat GPT has been explaining to me how to multiply and double vectors ARRRRRGH

How to double them and add them I mean ARRRRRGH

I got this one right though, thanks

So that's awesome

Save for a tiny bit of arithmetic...

What's this? What's next please? What's next? Oh no... Oh no... Oh no 
No please
ARRRRRGH

"Vector Dot Products"

AN IMPORTANT VECTOR OPERATION IN LINEAR ALGEBRA IS THE "DOT PRODUCT"

A DOT PRODUCT TAKES TWO EQUAL DIMENSION VECTORS 

AND RETURNS A SINGLE SCALAR VALUE

BY SUMMING THE PRODUCTS OF THE VECTORS' CORRESPONDING COMPONENTS

THIS CAN BE WRITTEN OUT FORMULAICALLY AS


ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH

WHAT 

IS THIS COURSE I DON'T LIKE IT IT'S TOO DIFFICULT FOR ME PLEASE ARRRRGH

BUT I FIND IT SO AWESOME THOUGH...

Chat GPT please please HALP me

LORD GPT Says that - if the dot product is positive the arrows are pointing in the same direction

If the dot product is negative the arrows are pointing in OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS

IF THE DOT PRODUCT IS ZERO THEN THE LINES ARE PERPENDICULAR AND INTERSECT - LIKE THE LINES OF A NOUGHTS AND CROSSES GAME

Hello World

 Hello from Susanna Codes! Hi everyone,  My name is Susanna and I'm a 28-year-old aspiring software engineer from Brighton! As I type this, listening to music from "Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amelie Poulain" (it reminds me of home, in Luxembourg, where I am from - I'm missing home quite a lot lately!) and look forward to some Irish Cream tea in my afternoon break, I am thinking: How lucky I am that my amazing colleague Rosana helped me out with a plan for my software engineer journey (she directed me to the front-end first). How HTML and CSS would not have been my first languages of choice had I not been guided in this direction, as in my head they were seen as 'less-serious' langages. How done I am with what other people think of me and if other people see the 'front-end' as softer then so be it! Everyone has to start somewhere. I am so grateful to be on this journey, with Codecademy's Front-End Engineer Career Path.  Thank you to Async Brighton as ...

Yosemite

Yosemite I'll never forget the first time I head the song Yosemite by Lana del Rey. I very nearly clicked away.  It was quite near the start of my Software Engineering journey, right near when I start learning the Front-End/Web Development. I was listening to Arcadia by LDR before, maybe twice, and then Blue Banisters came on. I nearly clicked away in the first 30 seconds but I forced myself to keep listening anyway.  I'll never forget how that song has made me feel. It became my song of 2022 even though I only discovered it in November. I can still listen to it every day and get that complete sense of wonder and of awe that I felt the first time that I heard it. That ending of the song is completely amazing, and it just completely just blows me away every time. "Withstanding all the time, changes, and seasons..." - LDR Concise Body Arrow Functions Why am I so bad at arrow functions? Whyyyyyyyyyyy?  Just kidding, I am beginning to get them. But why are they so hard? ...

Where To Hide A Star

Where To Hide A Star I haven’t read this book but I just saw this title of a forthcoming children’s book on the train and so I wanted to write a blog post based off of this as well. The last six months have been… rewarding and fulfilling. I have managed to make all of my dreams come true and to defy expectations,  Sometimes the best place to hide is in plain sight and if you reread all of my blogs over the last six months (all 200 of them) you would know exactly what I’m struggling at work and what was going on. And why. But I’ve managed to overcome most of my challenges. Neurodiversity. Being very new in the field relative to the expectations of the job. Being in a new workplace environment. All stuff which I can handle and I am doing just fine. Because I am amazing and fabulous and I can do anything. I am loving the job. I am thriving. I am loving just getting on with it. I love my work. I am having massive breakthroughs. On Thursday I had what felt like the biggest breakthrough ...
