Lec 5 | MIT 18.06 Linear Algebra, Spring 2005

[lightsoul007]

I wonder if this guy gave lectures when Tony Stark was attending.

[fallintotheabyss]

i feel really stupid

[mvallin]

I dident know you could post such a long vid on youtube. Oh yea MIT hehe

[BAROD3]

he is rather 'preppy' looking- nice tie. He's cool, he won't blow his handle over trifle issues.

[ivve08]

the professor is incredible, i can picture everything, and i really dont do that with my teacher whos lectures are" Definition 1, 2,3,4.." and thats it.. You can see that he really wants u to understand, not just say it..love when professors are like that..gives students such passion aswell. So thanks for all videos ;)

[berkeley73]

Nicely put. I also like his dry humor:

e.g.

"So listing all the 5x5 permutations would be... not so much fun."

"R^2 is the x-y plane. That's what everybody thinks."

[AustinSalgat]

Don't forget, "We'll leave that up to the author to explain" when he's the author of the book :P

[nash911]

Awesome stuff.

[soccom8341576]

awesome stuff.

I like how there are no students in the hall, and it took me a while to figure out he was talking to the camera.

[Hippyy123]

oh there are students there, its just not a full house. MIT isn't going to pay one of their profs to just talk to a camera without teaching paying students at the same time.

[francescasimoni1996]

i'm in 8th grade, skipped a grade, and going to algebra 2 honors in 9th grade, hope to go to mit one day

[cnjjockstrap]

oh, shut up you pedant

[TheCompanies]

I might go to MIT. I'm in Geometry I Honors, SAT  Prep, and Earth & Space Science. I'm in 8th Grade. I'm also in IB and GT. I hope I get to go there someday.

[cnjjockstrap]

again, shut up you pedantic twit

[TheCompanies]

What? You're so late I can't even remember what I said.

[yowatasaki]

This professor is excellent. Oh! I understand so much more about linear algebra now!!!!!!!!!!!

[Kingarthur305]

I hope they post Calculus some time. I would love to hear Mr Strang's teaching on that subject

[angieaje]

good job Gilbert, thanks to you I got an A on my first LA test!!!

[hedewa11]

What happened to all the students? I would die to have a great prof like Strang

[boast88]

Whatever he teaches is easy to learn because he explains stuff like its suppose to be common sense! I wish I had him as my math prof!

[kveldes]

My too.

[kveldes]

Excellent

[maheryagub]

Poli oreo auto pou ipes. ;-)

[aaannangi]

best of the best

[batteekha]

Is it just me or this course is too easy. Usually math profs keep on righting and you see nothing but their as$ the whole time.

[avanderveen]

How much content a prof. writes on a board doesn't show how easy/difficult a course is. The difficulty is based on content and concepts. Just because you're used to profs who don't explain content while they write doesn't mean you should judge a course/prof you obviously have no idea about. Then again, I don't know that you've even been to a lecture in your life judging on your grammar, spelling, and difficulty with using the proper characters in a word. Way to form a coherent remark!

[mremile72]

the ones that write all the time so you can see their asses are bad profs. this one's good because he makes it seem easy by discussing what he's writing so his students fully understand what's going on

[MathMikie]

he explains the idea of vector spaces brilliantly

if you don't understand vector spaces this is the

best place to learn it

[omV0]

"Don't all speak at once" 19:28... LOL!

[batteekha]

ROFL

[boast88]

Sarcasm at its best! Classic!

[Derek5030]

The best professor ever!!! He made all things easy and clear to understand.

[paulmshepherd]

03:33-03:40 "The P in this factorization is the identity matrix." Lightning bolt moment. Everything in the earlier lecturers was building up to this class, and no students there to see it. Ironic.

[olejka2]

This professor is great. His obviously have a gift.

[olejka2]

This professor is great. His obviously have a gift.

[jonahansen]

Yes. I learned Linear Algebra from his book - it is one of the best. I always wanted to see him teach it, and I am now - and I am not disappointed!

[kmharrower]

I don't understand it when he takes Ax=b, and he can get a column space in b equal to a column in A. To get that column in b, all he has is scalar of x1 only. Or x2 only,,,

So what's that??

(I personally think of x as the units/ direction of the vector.)

[nealtuf]

ha. Theres no one even at the lecture!good stuff though
