I’m going to do another giveaway like the one I did last April. I’ll draw a winner from the tweets that mention one of these accounts. The winner gets a choice of a T-shirt or coffee mug with one of the Twitter account logos. The winner from the Spring drawing chose a coffee mug with the RegexTip logo.
It gives me physical pain that your regex icon is “.*”
Intentional or no, it is the hallmark of bad regexes.
This tweet from AlgebraFact is wrong, I believe.
“For square matrices of the same size A and B, Tr(AB) = Tr(A) Tr(B) where Tr = trace.

For the NxN identity matrix I, Tr(I*I)=Tr(I)=N, but Tr(I)*Tr(I)=N^2.
SteveBrooklineMA: Thanks for letting me know. You are right. That tweet certainly is incorrect. I don’t know now what I intended it to say. It’s true that Tr(A+B) = Tr(A)+Tr(B), though that’s not very interesting. I’ll delete that one.
