    Matrices are the fundamental building blocks for building models. This is utilized in several aspects of data science including machine learning, statistics including regressions. And conceptually, it is hard. Anyone who thinks they are stupid are wrong (otherwise you wouldn't be watching these videos in the first place). Just keep plugging.

    Khan academy is so legendary I was 3 years old when this video was published. I watched these in 5th grade I watched these in high school and now I’m watching these while taking calculus in college. It’s totally tripping me out that this video has been ready and waiting since around the time I learned to count to teach math in a way I understand thanks khan.

    I've read that it's not great practice to use the terms inverse and reciprocal interchangeably due to them having different meanings in calculus. For example (f^-1(x)) is not equal to 1/f(x).

    If A and B are non zero square matrices then AB = 0 implies A and B are orthogonal. How❓
