I'm reviewing the books in the MIRI course list. It's been a while since I did a book review. The last book I reviewed was Computation and Logic, which I read in November. After that, I spent a few weeks brushing up on specific topics in preparation for my first MIRI math workshop. I read about half of The Logic of Provability and studied a little topology. I also worked my way through some relevant papers. After the workshop, I took some time off around the holidays and wrote a bit about my experience. I'm finally back into Study Mode. This week I finished Linear Algebra Done Right, by Sheldon Axler.

A norm on $latex \mathbb{C}^{m \times n}$ is unitarily invariant if $LATEX \|UAV\| = \|A\|$ for all unitary $latex U\in\mathbb{C}^{m \times m}$ and $latex V\in\mathbb{C}^{n\times n}$ and for all $latex A\in\mathbb{C}^{m \times n}$. One can restrict the definition to real matrices, though the term unitarily invariant is still typically used. Two widely used matrix norms...
