It's usually worth it - even if you're building a small CRUD app; having the event store is immensely beneficial. Fearless deleting, keeping your reporting system clean, free auditing, not to mention the benefit when debugging hard problems.

Later on, I also added in separate Gonum based Matrix/Linear Algebra solutions. I figure knowing how to do this style of solving may come in handy for other problems so figuring it out now may be advantageous.

Ok, I couldn't let this one go - there I found an explicit algebraic solution to the problem:
