This is the first video of the ninth lecture of this course on Linear Algebra. Here we give a gentle introduction to three dimensional space, starting with the analog of a grid plane built from a packing of parallelopipeds in space.

We discuss two different ways of drawing 3D objects in 2D, emphasizing the importance of parallel projection. Some discussion of the nature of space and modern physics, then an introduction of affine space via coordinates. The distinctions between points and vectors is important, and we talk also about lines and planes.
