This is an introduction to linear equation systems. It explains linear dependency, under- and over-specification, direct and iterative solvers. The guide should give you enough knowledge to find a proper solution for your task but not enough to implement one efficiently yourself.

When Google killed Google Reader, the bloggosphere took a severe hit and the content quality went down because there weren't enough readers to justify the effort it takes to maintain a high quality blog.

What's left is a decaying wasteland of blogs, most abandoned, a lot are now SEO spam, and 99% are not worth reading. BoredReading is a way to read the remaining great blogs that survived the ice age.

To add your favorite blog, please suggest it here! I get emails every day which helps me maintain a high quality selection of blogs!
