Describe the mistake On exercise 2.16(e), page 55 in the print copy and page 68 in the ebook, there is an opening bracket where there should be a closing one.

  1. Draft (2021-01-14) of “Mathematics for Machine Learning” and the print book.
  2. Chapter 2, Linear Algebra
  3. page 55 in print, 68 on ebook
  4. 2.16(e)

Proposed solution End opening bracket should be a closing bracket, meaning [0,2pi]

mpd37 commented 3 years ago

That's actually correct: that notation excludes 2\pi. An equivalent way of writing this is [0, 2\pi).

Htermotto commented 3 years ago

Ok, thanks. I hadn't seen that open left bracket notation before, only the parenthesis to indicate non-inclusivity.
