A Rigorous Proofless Approach to Linear Algebra [pdf]

A Rigorous Proofless Approach to Linear Algebra [pdf] launched on October 21, 2017 with 14 votes, #939 of 3,169 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was not reachable when checked in September 2026.

In plain words

A Rigorous Proofless Approach to Linear Algebra is a PDF guide that teaches linear algebra concepts without formal proofs. Available on GitHub, it's designed for students and learners who want to understand linear algebra fundamentals through intuitive explanations and examples rather than rigorous mathematical proofs. This resource stands out by prioritizing conceptual understanding and accessibility over traditional proof-based instruction, making the subject matter more approachable for those intimidated by formal mathematics.

  • Formalizing Principia Mathematica using Lean2025 · github.com · ▲188

    This project aims to formalize the first volume of Prof. Bertrand Russell’s Principia Mathematica using the Lean theorem prover. Throughout the formalization, I tried to rigorously follow Prof. Russell’s proof, with no or little added statements from my side, which were only necessary for the formalization but not the logical argument. Should you notice any inaccuracy (even if it does not necessarily falsify the proof), please let me know as I would like to proceed with the same spirit of rigour. Before starting this project, I had already found Prof. Elkind’s formalization of the Principia…

    I wished for a site with a growing list of math problems, I built it2024 · teachyourselfmath.app · ▲384

    Good math problems are hidden inside textbooks and online documents. To keep up with all the sources in the world is hard. For someone who just wants to continuously solve problems, finding and going through all the sources feels like a hassle. I wished for a website that could just dump all the math problems available in the world out there. And if I could filter the problems by topics, that would be beautiful. teachyourselfmath is a side project that was born out of this need. At its core, it is a math PDF extraction engine. The engine has some machine learning going on behind the scenes…
