Matrix multiplication introduced before vector addition... the "Linear Algebra Done Right" in me is screaming inside.

That being said, it is definitely cool to have a Jupyter-notebook based set of examples of practical linear algebra

And eigenvectors in the first lesson!

I think at the beginning of learning LA I would have benefited from a more broad introduction to the topic by explaining that it is the algebra of transformations, generally linear transformations, and also the art of quantifying those transformations in meaningful ways.

I would have benefited from some more handwaving in this regard (matrix multiplication, eigenvectors and eigenvalues) and less on the mechanics of the operations, before starting on the basic technicalities. But a “lesson” on these topics on day 0 is too soon
