LA: scalars, vectors, dot product, bases

[j-m-dean]

Thinking this may have to be a stand alone chapter...

Comments and suggestions would be appreciated on what is written so far. There probably needs to be some fleshing out and more detailed explanations but not sure where.

Sorry for the delay. Work...eh!?

Comments:

• "wide bearing" is weird language to me...
• Love this "we believe that gaining knowledge about these fundamental concepts will not only allow you to become a better programmer, but allow you to tackle the more difficult chemistry problems as well." I wanna get this tattooed on me
• What is theta in the first equation? Explain what each value in the equation is.
• "Now image" -> "Now imagine" (I assume)
• Increase transparency on the sphere
• Perhaps "The Dot product of vectors" to "Some definitions"?
• Use {:.2f} instead of np.round, if you are doing what I think you are
• "\mathbf{r} = x \mathbf{i} + y \mathbf{j} + z \mathbf{z}" -> "\mathbf{r} = x \mathbf{i} + y \mathbf{j} + z \mathbf{k}"
• rogue $ in "cannot write the vector..."
• missing a "your code here" cell at the bottom

Need to merge 7a0ed35 into your code to get it to pass CI btw, see issue #71

Given that the notebooks are now too big to open in the Github "view file" option, maybe this can become a chapter in its own right? Fancy breaking them up into separate notebooks?

[j-m-dean]

Yeah, given that I am only 1/3 of the way through the topics, that's probably the best course of action.

I'll separate them out this evening.

This could be the longest chapter 🤣
