(Video) Sharper intuition for tensors

Previously, I wrote a post laying out some rough intuition for tensors. I made a video where I took the intuition one additional step closer to being concrete The basic setup is we have a matrix. We then just ask simple questions about the matrix, and see how this “tensor” structure emerges as a natural(ish) […]

Rough intuition for tensors

As part of some original work I’m doing (which I will be elucidating here for you all soonish), I’ve been learning about tensors, a subject with which I am only vaguely familiar. The tensor abstraction is very mathematically weird, because it is stateful. It’s almost like object-oriented programming ported into mathematics. Despite it’s mathematical weirdness, […]
