allright2, I know Matlab calls LAPACK, he shouldn't have repeated it over and over again ! Also, his field is the best, other fields are either ridiculous or just plain stupid! Such arrogance !!!!

@kakhakaladzemilan You have no sense of humor... he actually made fun of his field in other occasions too. (BTW, I dont know him, Im not even in the same country, I just watched the lectures, and I find him quite funny AND a very good professor)

@kakhakaladzemilan Also, I hadnt watched before replying, but he hadnt said that at all. He just said you will have to worry about a LOT of little details, and actually be able to code your own stuff IF you are on those fields, because the number of variables are so big, that the generic open source (or not) code and algorithms wont work.. this is actually a compliment! =) (actually i didnt finished watching this yet, but I suppose you are talking about 36:00)
