From 8c348f8a1fb6472f63164badd3731240a70f9acc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: JJones780 <2329541+JJones780@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Thu, 23 May 2024 08:46:20 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] Linear Algebra: Chapter 5 - 3D Linear Transformations - Straightforward example to puzzle (#424) * Update index.mdx A more applicable example in the final puzzle introducing non-square matrices. The new example is also better related to the puzzle question. Also caught a few typos - hopefully didn't introduce any. * Update index.mdx fixed indices of matrices from ij,ik,... to 1,2,... * Update index.mdx changed example back to original, modified typo fix as suggested. --- public/content/lessons/2016/3d-transformations/index.mdx | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/public/content/lessons/2016/3d-transformations/index.mdx b/public/content/lessons/2016/3d-transformations/index.mdx index f4ff654d..8c3d29c5 100644 --- a/public/content/lessons/2016/3d-transformations/index.mdx +++ b/public/content/lessons/2016/3d-transformations/index.mdx @@ -378,7 +378,7 @@ Here's another puzzle for you: It's also meaningful to talk about a linear trans A simple example from 3d to 2d would be the shadow cast by a 3d object onto a 2d plane. Although, in order for the transformation to be linear, the light rays should be considered parallel to eachother to simplify the problem. If you consider the light source to be something really far away, like the sun, then this is a reasonable choice to make. -You can represent these transformations with matrices.
