. A few years back I kinda dropped the ball with school. If I didn't understand something, I gave up on it. Because of that I've been pretty behind for quite a while now, but this year I decided to change and become a better student. There's still a few things I'm not entirely great at, but out of them all math is one that I suffer from the most. Geometry hasn't been too hard up until now, but I never quite understood certain aspects of Algebra and my current Geometry lessons require some algebraic knowledge which is what I lack. I've tried doing it on my own but I don't understand things easily, Khan Academy is super helpful but most of the time, the amount of knowledge overwhelms me and I don't learn a thing from the video/lesson. I know this is not going to be a simple one and done fix, but I know that I can't just keep passing by without improving my math skills so that's why I came here. I don't know how this works or if it's even going to help, but right now I think it's worth the try. Thank you in advance.
ition by Arnold J. Insel, Lawrence E. Spence, and Stephen H. Friedberg. I feel like the textbook lacks explanation considering this is my first exposure to linear algebra. At this point in the semester, I feel like I have a good idea of the concepts and how to represent them (e.g. I understand and can visualize what is happening in space) because I've spent a lot of time learning from alternative resources. What I am having trouble with now is when I go back to the book, I can follow the examples to an extent, but there are computations that aren't explained and I don't know where they are coming from. Moreover, and more importantly, I don't know how to approach the assignment questions at all.
