 ## Crate of the Week
 
-<!-- COTW goes here -->
+This week's crate is [faer](https://docs.rs/faer), a eneral-purpose linear algebra library for rust, with a focus on high performance for algebraic operations on medium/large matrices, as well as matrix decompositions.
+
+Despite another week going by without a suggested weekly crate, llogiq is pleased with his choice.
