Hmm, Linear Algebra - Jim Hefferon does not seem to be mentioned at all in that thread.



Yes, I thought the original thread was interesting and so I was reading the article (which I thought is also interesting). Suddenly, there is my name---that's a bit of a start. However, I don't find that I come up when I search the discussion, although there are three instances of "Linear". A glitch, I guess.


It looks like when the script fed the titles into the Goodreads API, it picks the most common (popular?) book with that title. Since the subtitles were stripped out it got confused.

In the original thread, the two books were: -Linear Algebra, A First Course by Kutler -A Concise Introduction to Linear Algebra by Schay both in JabavuAdams' post.

Then there was a mention of the Linear B language elsewhere
