(nodding widely) yes exactly, it’s the multiplication of 1x1 matrices with entries in C

i just had the realisation that multiplication of complex numbers is basically just matrix muplication.

It’s true. Look up Elliptic Curves. Read Silverman’s “The Arithmetic of Elliptic Curves.” Do all the exercises. Read Katz-Mazur’s “Arithmetic Moduli of Elliptic Curves.” Study it closely. Only then will you understand.

How to Open the IONIQ 5 Rear Doors in an Emergency

@JoeTegtmeyer26 Dec 2025
How to Open the Model Y Rear Doors in an Emergency This is a issue I hear a lot about so I thought I'd do a brief informational video about how to open rear doors in a Tesla Model Y in case of emergency and the electric door opening switches are not functional. I hear this enough that I think this is a subject you might want to let passengers or family members know about. It's pretty easy, but if you haven't seen this before, it might not be obvious in an emergency. I do know Tesla is looking into a design chance for this but I am not sure when this will be incorporated.

To date, the only linear algebra text I’ve actually sat down and read is “A Rough Guide to Linear Algebra” by Dongryul Kim, presumably written while the author was an undergrad. I can’t recommend it enough. stanford.edu/~dkim04/writing…
Neal Parikh (@npparikh) profile pictureNeal Parikh@npparikh17 Dec 2025
An underrated textbook is Advanced Linear Algebra by Roman (it is a GTM though). It is *very* clear. I would consider it as a supplement even if you’re trying to learn basic linear algebra.
