  • After using your video's for so long Patrick i now watch these immediately after the lectures instead of waiting for the night before the exam. I have to say it has made this semester a lot more smooth than usual!

    Thank you!!!!!!

  • @aerialaces21 yes, i found out the same thing! reading a section before we went over it in class helped me tons

  • if you don't mind answering, where did you learn maths patrick?

  • @impotentarab school, books, my own. the normal places i think.

  • Thanks for the video. I couldnt figure out how to solve using this method but after watching your video I figured it out. just in time for my final exam tomorrow. Thanks!

  • @jaker0135 good luck on the final :)

  • @bikeous23 i am not sure how to respond. you just seem a bit angry about it all. this is a wonderful way to solve large systems of equations. what method do you have that is more efficient?

    and what does: there is huge room for error? there is no room for error if one can do arithmetic correctly. yes, there are lots of computations, but we are not adding 2 + 2 here...

    and no, math is not as trivial as you seem to make it.

  • @SpaceBandit666 if i wrote out every single arithmetic step, this video would take about 10 years to make. you need to be able to fill in some stuff as you go. there is a pause button. try to fill in the steps yourself and you will actually start learning.

  • how do you do homogenous linear equations?

  • Good day! Is it necessary to change the rows? At our school, we weren't introduced to that technique.

  • @bikeous23

    You're in pre calc... What kinds of systems are you solving? 2, 3, MAYBE 4 equations? Try using substitution and elimination on a big ol' 6x7 system without Gaussian elimination and tell me your way is faster and with less margin for error.

  • Ugh is it just me or is Calculus actually more fun than LA? Getting the hang of it though thanks Patrick!

  • tnx.. i learn a lot more power man..

  • @elleen54 you have to make it a one or else the end results are correct
