Abstract: Linear functions are arguably the most mundane among all functions. However, the basic fact that a multi-variable linear function has a constant gradient field can provide simple geometric insights into several familiar results such as the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality, the GM-AM inequality, and some distance formulae, as we shall show.
