I have a question. How on god's green earth is it possible to learn this kind of math. I'm sitting here watching it, thinking to myself, I haven't the craziest idea of what the hell he is talking about. All theses symbols+words that come out of his mouth in this clipped, cryptic stream of language I can't begin to comprehend.
He isn't really "teaching" this algebra. He is more just revising it for people who already understand it and just need a reminder.
Your very right about the language and symbols. They are the most complicated thing to remember. The maths isn't overly hard. It follows on from High school math but is very confusing because it uses completely different symbols and terminology to high school maths.
Its hard to find simple explanations of this stuff but just keep looking. Are u at uni?
Is there something as being "supposed to"? A new kind of racism? Scientific racism? rsss The topic in the lectures is quite nice, but the presentation has been mathematical and operational, assuming some prior knowledge.
Actually, as alexthewombat pointed out, this kind of mathematics follows logically from a High School base.
While the symbols and technical terms might seem completely alien, it is really more like a language. You have to use it a lot, as well as know the "grammatical" rules, in order to get to the level of these lectures.
These lectures are amazing, Prof Balakrishnan is my hero.
But if you would like to learn some of this at your own pace, I HIGHLY recommend chapter 1 of J.J. Sakurai's "Modern Quantum Mechanics." It worked wonders for me, it's a very solid intro.
This is incredible. Really.

@ambiguity22, I have a question. How on god's green earth is it possible for you to possess a brain to comprehend this?
How on god's green earth is it possible for people like you to come up to see these lectures when they are not really supposed to?
