This is a throwback post, first published in March 2014 (and referring to yet another post all the way back in 2007). As I teach my Linear Algebra and Differential Equations class this semester, which uses more computing than ever, I'm thinking even more about these topics. Enjoy, and check the post-credit scene at the end where I add some updated thoughts for 2023.
