I also love this series of lectures, but in this lecture I find that he does not explain perpendicular subspaces enough. The example with the blackboard and the floor is just confusing (to me and my colleagues at least), because obviously they form a right angle and thus are perpendicular. And obviously they are both subspaces. Which leads me to believe that the definition is wrong, which I'm sure it isn't.
@pelemanov Not all the vectors in these two subspaces are perpendicular. Say vectors in the line of their intersection. So it violates the definition. (In fact there could not be two orthogonal plane in R^3.) I think this is exactly his purpose of picking the wall and the floor to remind us this subtlety: What we think is perpendicular is not orthogonal by definition.
@j4ckjs Thanks for the reply. It's just a confusing definition and if you google a bit on orthogonality, you find many other definitions contradicting this one. I think he should have pointed it out more clearly, but at least now I will be cautious when it comes to this topic. I guess that's good enough...
when finding an orthogonal vector, are there specific steps to find it, or do we have to find a vector (through inspection) which when multiplied by another vector through dot product is zero?
wow in 49 minutes he's layed out the big picture and gotten down to all the information! he is such a coherent lecturer omg! i love u prof strang!!!!!!!!!!!
Good, I like that you share this video Orthogonal Vectors and Subspaces., I wish success always

Wouldn't the z-axis be orthogonal to the entire x-y plane? It kind of goes against one of his remarks in the 20-21 minute part of the video.

Look at the students, now back to Strang, now back at the students, now back to Strang.
Sadly, he's teaching an empty class.
But if he records this video and puts it online, he could still teach.
