Possible typo in Ch1: Distributive rule for vectors

edwardball opened this issue · comments

Hello! Love this book.

Just wanted to query what you've written in Chapter 1 for the distributive rule:

The distributive rule with 2 scalars, 1 vector: (n*m)*v⃗ =n*v⃗ + m*v⃗

Did you mean this instead?

The distributive rule with 2 scalars, 1 vector: (n+m)*v⃗ =n*v⃗ + m*v⃗

Yes, this needs to be fixed! This is a duplicate of nature-of-code/The-Nature-of-Code-archive#298 but I'm going to close that one and leave this one open since this is the main repo now.

Should be correct now.

New (ignore math formula formatting still working on that):
