When your internet is out, you ponder why you spend so much time on it. When it comes back again, you ignore any deep, profound discoveries you make about it taking up time and go right back to it.

Then I will follow.

Why would he be hiding in that case?


He probably isn't.
<Snipped quote by Intrepid>

That assumes that he can be found.


I don't feel that our questions would have been directed to him if he wasn't.
<Snipped quote by Intrepid>

By doing?


What else? Looking around.
<Snipped quote by Intrepid>

I never did any proofs in LinAlg, or at the very least, we didn't call them proofs.


One of the simpler examples was proving that Tr(A+B)=Tr(A)+Tr(B). We've also had to show that a matrix A (first row a, b, second row c, d) is equivalent to I2 if and only if ad-bc=/=0
<Snipped quote by Intrepid>

Could you define "proof?"


I don't follow. Are there multiple kinds?
<Snipped quote by Intrepid>

What exactly are you trying to find right now?


Top of the list is Nemid.
<Snipped quote by Intrepid>

What more do you know?


Not much, but everthing else is what I'm concerned with finding out.
<Snipped quote by Intrepid>

What proofs?


Almost all of them. They almost all use summations symbolically.
<Snipped quote by Intrepid>

The class is learning new ways of expressing the same concept. It seems pointless, but you're abstracting concrete knowledge so you can apply high-level techniques later. Maybe your book is just stupid, but the class should end up being manageable.


My issue is with the proofs.
