Is there a "Linear Algebra Done Right" but it's Statistics?* Thing little book* Has a perspective* Boils down the subject but with rigor* Medium hard and math-facing in presentation

@futurebird Are you aware of Statistical Rethinking? Not so slim. But then, I hear even most masters in stats probably haven't seen a full proof of say, the central limit theorem...

@futurebird I quite like An Introduction to Error Analysis: The Study of Uncertainties in Physical Measurements, by John R Taylor. It’s slim, rigorous, explains things at a good pace, but unfortunately leaves out topics that aren’t immediately useful to the undergrad science major, such as Bayes theorem.

@futurebird actually, thanks for pointing me to ”linear algebra done right”, which I just found is available as an open access edition!https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-031-41026-0

@juandesant Like many of the best textbooks it grew out of lecture notes. It's not perfect or comprehensive and there are people with other perspectives, but you can't go totally wrong with it which is saying a lot I think.

@futurebird @juandesant Where was this when I was taking linear algebra back in college? 😂

@futurebird For a second, I parsed "Linear Algebra" as "Algebra written in, say, Linear A".

@infryq How to lie is a good book but it isn’t theoretical as what I’m looking for.

@futurebird I used many Schaum's Outlines when I was in pre-internet college.
