Hey all, I'd like to share the [first post](https://www.allysalim.xyz/blog/applied-linear-algebra-vectors-1) in a new series I'll be writing on applied linear algebra.
This first post focuses on introducing vectors and basic vector operations. After much thought I decided to introduce nim concepts non-linearly and in a "as needed" manner as this more reflects how projects/work typically unfold when learning on the job (i.e: we talk about generics before talking about primitive types). I want to focus on the bare minimum needed for "doing science" through applying concepts from linear algebra. The outcome of the series will be a basic linear algebra library that we co-create and use/update along the way for simple things like image segmentation, signal processing, linear regression, clustering, etc. I think I will post a new article once every 10 days or so (give or take 3x per month) for the rest of the year - taking feedback on focusing on different areas as needed. It is likely the series will have concepts all over the place, AND any feedback is appreciated. Hopefully this will be my first of many contributions to the nim community!
