A new paper on my Journal:

A. Borovik,  Why is linear algebra so tedious?  Selected Passages from Correspondence with Friends 14 no. 3 (2026), 15-16.

Abstract

This is a basic law of economics of mathematics education: everything can be taught better, and without boredom, and mathematicians know how to do that — but it is more expensive.

This short note illustrates this principle using linear algebra as an example.
