This is awesome. We use the fourth edition of Dr. Strang's Intro to Linear Algebra in class and I am so glad these videos are available online. I found vector spaces to be a tricky topic in class, via my notes, even in the book. This lecture was executed beautifully. Makes so much more sense now. I am definitely the type of learner who really needs to have a deep understanding for the concepts to stick. Thanks so much!
even if one had attended his classes he'd still come in contact with an audience or lack of one, it's a meaningless debate between people who don't have anything better to do..
I've been using the terms "Closed under..." in two of my midterms now without caring of what it meant exactly graphically...its only now that I understand it. Thanks
Thank you so much! This is so much more helpful than in my classes! They only go through what people have read in the book, my prof is not thorough at all. He is brilliantly smart, but not helpful at all. This is so great, will continue to watch :)
Many thanks to Gilbert Strang for his lectures and his book, which I just recently got a hold of. Also, praise to MIT for making these videos publicly available.
Looks to me like Dr. Strang's true audience is online; 0 students in the classroom, 55,251 students online and increasing. Thank you, Dr. Strang, your lectures may well serve generations of linear algebra students!
Professor Strang lays out the concept of vector spaces in almost tedious detail. The result: I finally confidently understand vector spaces at a very basic conceptual level and I'm already beginning to extrapolate for myself. I imagine that this firm foundation will make the next few lectures that much easier and that much more rewarding. Thank you Professor Strang and thank you MIT.
Excellent Prof. I get the none english speaking chinese and indian professors in public shcool; Here is another reason why some things in life cost more!
Yes thanks a lot Prof. Strang, I had the same problem than you , the more I tried to know the difference the more I got confused, but this video really made me undestand, thanks so much !
I do not want to be against everybody in here, but I am really missing proofs in his lectures.
I know that that Linear Algebra is really different from college to college, but I would think that at MIT there would at least have been some proofs included in the lectures (they migth have been in the readon material)
I completely agree with you. The intuitive approach has its positive aspects because it teaches the student, maybe not yet familiar with the subject, to think and sense where to go, but the lack of proofs can be bothering. That's why there's an intensive supplement course called 18.08CI
thanx alot for this great lectures, i´m from Portugal and I´m amazed with this oportunity that M.I.T. gave to every one around the world M.I.T.believes in a better world where everyone can get free high quality education. With this actitude of M.I.T., i´m starting to baleave myself that a better world is possible.
@cesfigas Bro, its nice that you believe in education but you should at least know how to spell. Its embarrassing when you say something so inspirational but yet you can't spell. "baleave"??
@cesfigas Honestly, don't worry about it. The guy who pointed it out spelled "it's" wrong twice in his post. I totally agree with you, having MIT lectures this good available is an excellent opportunity for self-learners.
Why does it matter if there is an audience or not? Of course there's one! It's called good cameras and editing. Just forget the audience and pay attention to the lecture. God...
In my opinion you should all stop commenting about the audience of the lecture and thank MIT and professor Strang for uploading this excellent course.......By the way this whole emptiness thing happened only in this lecture All the others had a very good audience....
My observation is not a comment about the quality of instruction. I really enjoyed these lectures, and I really appreciate Strang's instruction. I thought it was interesting that there was no one there, I wasn't implying anything.
There are not n! distinct ways to reorder the matrix. Only n!/2 I believe. Because swapping rows 1 and 3 is the same thing as swapping rows 3 and 1. Consider a 3 x 3 matrix does not have 6 different row swaps. i can swap 1,2 1,3, or 2,3 that's all.
I'm not sure what you're talking about. If you look at any of the other lectures in this series you can see people in seats while he is talking. & at the end of some of the lectures you can see students getting up from their seats. That doesn't happen in this video. Also, in this video, he makes some comment like "Don't all speak at once" which seems to be a reference to the fact that there is no one there. What does the fact that you can't see them have to do with how good they are as students?
Ha, I think you are right. He also says, "well, the tape won't take a breath but the lecturer wil...." Maybe they had technical problems in the original and he had to redo the whole thing to complete the series.
