Satisfied Mind is the debut studio album by American country music singer Porter Wagoner.[3] It was released by RCA Victor on February 4, 1957.

Critical reception

In the issue dated February 16, 1957, Billboard published a review of the album, which read, "Although Porter Wagoner has not come through with any smash singles lately, he is certainly one of the steadiest standard artists in the C&W field and dealers shook find this package a profitable item. Wagoner's TV show will help move this also. They are in the traditional style, are very tastefully arranged, and include songs with which Wagoner has scored, such as "Company's Comin'", "Tricks of the Trade", and "A Satisfied Mind"."[4]

gollark: <@!714406501346967572> 0.4 offense, but if you could easily prove the Collatz conjecture with relatively simple maths someone already would have,

gollark: I assume the 0/1/infinite solution thing is from something something linear algebra.

gollark: Ah. So the matrix maps the values of all the variables to the outputs of each equation, and the same output can be attained in multiple ways sometimes.

gollark: No, I mean how do you use that to get intuition for number of solutions of some equations.

gollark: I've seen it with intersecting lines/planes(/hyperplanes), how does it work to interpret it as a transformation?
