It&#x27;s a global vs sequential learner thing. Linear Algebra is usually taught as a giant pile of tricks, techniques, and terminology. This is tractable for sequential learners like myself - I really enjoy picking up new tools in a narrow context just for it&#x27;s own sake. Highly global learners basically can&#x27;t learn anything this way.<p>So, in short, my advice is &quot;add more context.&quot;
