Hey linear algebra folks, what's the quickest way to input a matrix & get out a row-equivalent matrix by having the computer perform some random assortment of row operations? Is there some sort of site/interactive that'll do that. Bonus points if I can 'paste' the matrix somehow rather than retyping

Anyone on here have RC plane flying experience? Trying to learn how to fly my 8yo's Aeroscout with him, but dismayed by the idea of installing a Windows emulator in order to run the RealFlight simulator ($39 software + $57 USB dongle).

Having a bit of a sale over at inprnt right now, I guess it's 25% off, I think it might only be going through today but I will probably keep it running longer

This is a tough one for me. The "divot" in the divided path in the foreground gives a "towards camera" vibe but a hint would be nice

Virtual 🙌 to those still supporting human-made art, especially during the holidays. Space art can be pretty niche, so I am super grateful people want something I created in their homes. Sometimes I still feel completely lost in life. But I do know I love science + art & do my best to unite them!

Mathematics and physics often seem to occupy a world that seems designed to exclude. Higher dimensions are one of the best (or worst) examples. Four dimensions are just a start. Why not 5? Or 10? And they don't stop there.
They are a challenge for mathematicians too. Here's Luci.
