This was filmed in 2005 when Gil was 70. He just retired from MIT this month (May 2023) at age 88 after a 62 year career as a professor. What a great career.
@@henryfordsonofindia8399 Yeah, he seems to be in very good shape for his age; he can walk around in front of the board, and he can juggle around matrix algebra with ease.
I wish I had teachers like Prof Gilbert Strang when I studied linear algebra. What a difference makes to have someone dedicated to explaining the geometry of what is going on.
33 years ago I was told to read his book on linear algebra and its applications, my first experience of learning this stuff...did not always work for me, but I persevered with his approach and got there in the end. It's amazing now to see what he actually looks like.

Hmm...I wouldnt go that far. Imho, he is a good teacher from what I've seen here. He clearly cares about teaching, and he engages his students the way a good teacher should. He starts from first principles and assumes next to nothing about his students. But I wouldn't call it artistry or a masterpiece of teaching haha.
Yes... it's interesting how you can't really just rely on a book, and why it helps to watch a person actually doing it. And the style totally is important.
We're using Professor Strang's book in my linear algebra class and I really cannot understand my professor's teaching style. My friend pointed me to these lectures instead and I already feel like I actually understand a lot more from this one lecture than I have the past two weeks in my class. Thanks Professor Strang!
Hi professor and online collegueas. I'm a control engineering student, so Linear Algebra is the essential of my field of study. Despite I've taken a linear algebra course before and even sophisticated discussions in control systems, I never truly understood until now why it is better to think using columns instead of using rows. But now it's totally clear in my mind, so thank you very much, professor Gilbert. I'm anxious for the next classes.
as a 1st year grad student a very long time ago, i took a course in linear algebra using Gil Strang's book. learning about the relationship between the four fundamental spaces of a matrix felt revelatory at the time, and i still have that book. he's such a wonderful expositor.
Prof Strang really LOVES teaching, his soul is part of it-they say a genius make poor teachers- he is the one exception- Thank you for your efforts to bring people into your world
An amazing first lecture, glad to see the audio is fixed, thanks for taking care of this course. It's beautiful to perceive people from all over the world gathering here to gain knowledge, Professor Strang is a great teacher
That makes me remember the first semester linear algebra lecture. He certainly takes his time to explain, what the interpretation is and that is wonderful. We were not so lucky unfortunately.

When we get linear equations, Ax=b, where A is an n x n matrix, and x and b are column vectors with n components, we can see b as the linear combination of column vectors of A and components of x is equals to b. That is, column 1 of A * 1st component of x + column 2 of A * 2nd component of x ... + column n of A * nth component of x. This view is new for me. Thank you, Prof. Strang.
In the first lecture, from 14:10 to 15:26 the dude threw on the gem. If you notice this is the idea of vector spaces something which really you don't understand when you start linear algebra. Moreover, he pushed the argument at 22:00 with all the beauty to show that a column picture is a preferred way of looking when it goes into a higher dimension, the point on which he comes back in vector spaces. Finally, at 28:00 he concludes an important thesis for vector spaces.

Even though I've learned Linalg from my undergraduate course, it was ages ago. Thanks to Prof Strang, the explanation of the geometry meaning of the matrix is much clearer than what I've ever been given.
This might help others trying to learn this material. I found it easiest to watch a few lectures, but without being overly concern about learning exactly whats going on. This gives you a basis to work from. Then get the text book and work though it slowly. Write down the examples in the book as you encounter them and get used to forming a mental picture for whats going on. The column picture is key. The row picture is probably what your school math teacher taught you. This just confused me a lot. I don't like dot products, but the "combinations of columns" is very intuitive once you can visualize why it works. The reason I found this easier is that the concepts introduced in the videos are a bit loose, its just an overview. The real learning comes from the text book.

thank you Mr Strang for your lecture!!! i don't understand yet the fact that with 2 millions subscribers, only 4000 folow your lecture!! Your chain is one of the best i found regarding basical science, congratulations!!!
Why is Prof. Strang so successful at teaching? It's not just that his explanations are clear and reasonable. His personal style has a lot to do with it. He comes across as unpretentious and as someone who is doing this journey with you.
My lecturer in Linear Algebra was pretty good at doing mathematics but he was not so good at explaining it. I have really enjoyed these lectures and came back to the start just to encourage others to watch and enjoy.
guys if you are here because of machine learning then trust me this course is the most most useful one to do before even starting machine learning i can ensue you it worth it 100% i myself have completed this series and it just gave me leg up in ML trust me after this course you will be able to understand ml concept that some of highly paid ML people can't! it will be such a leg up in you ml career i swear i wish i can erase it from my memory and do all it all over again p.s please do it right tho understand every concept go through book and do exercise if needed give it good 3 months atleast
I'm really happy that great lectures are available for free. Young people should appreciate it that they have internet and they can learn from materials from other universities especially from other countries from another part of the globe.
I'm a student in Ariel University at Israel. I'm studying computer science and math, and I just want to say that you are a terrific teacher! I will recommend your lectures to my friends for sure! Thank you a lot.
In my whole life never did this matrix multiplication make me sense like why are we doing multiplication and addition to numbers in a box in a specific manner, which is very non-intuitive, But the column picture idea that you gave makes me think it is matrix is an awesome tool to the equations
thats the greatest explanation of geometry of linear equations i have ever seen, thank you for everything sir, greetings from istanbul technical university
Linear Algebra runs in his blood (Prof. Gilbert Strang). I now understand Linea Algebra thanks to his amazing lectures and his too much insight into this subject!!! He opens mind and unlocks concepts which are not naturally easy to grasp.
24:44 thanks to prof. strang that he didn't get away by just taking an easy example and explained other cases where it didn't work. . . . 32:20 the way professor strang visualise the 9 dimensions is so impressive

Really got the points! First time in my life I have completed a lecture on math and also learned multiple new things! All concepts got cleared. Thank you Gilbert Strang for introducing me to LA. Respect++;
I enjoyed this lecture. Professor Strang seems like a congenial person truly interested in imparting his knowledge. Some professors seem to look down on their students and have the attitude that if you don't get it, tough.
Linear Algebra has been my good old friend for several decades, but now I see a fresh look at my friend that looks much younger, all this thanks to the amazing profession Prof. Dr. Gilbert Strang. The essence of the timeless reverence Guru Brahma proved again. I shall be going through the entire series, even though, I wish I had this opportunity a decade and half ago. 🙏
Thank you Dr. Gilbert Strang. I am a senior lecturer at Azerbaijan State Agrarian University. I teach the subject Linear Algebrain in English . You explain very clearly.

I can see in the class of this excellent professor and mathematician what the real problem in mathematical education is: our obsession to cover the topics always skips the necessity of the students to form the proper intuition of a topic. Intuition takes time, but above all takes proper activities to develop it. His talk is basically about the generation of spaces through linear combinations, but honestly could anyone sitting down there and listening reproduce those ideas without the help of proper representations, say, software, or at least good pictures? In mathematics, physics etc, intuition is the most important, but scholastic education has always tortured them with logic. That is totally unfair and a waste of talented students.
Why u say it is devoid of intuition when he is showing exact steps of logic? Sure, u may miss understanding the steps of logic, but nothing he is saying depends on intuition! Follow the formula correctly, get the right answer! Make a mistake in calculating, get the wrong answer!
Explaining the 3 planes converge on a point doesn't require a visual aid: two intersecting planes meet in a line such that they are perpendicular to each other along the z axis, the line on that z axis intersecting a third plane on that z axis is perceived as a dot in that z plane. The dot is the product derived by the 3 intersecting planes.

Hot off the presses : We can pair every positive floating point number using up only about 20% of the integers Algorithm #1 : Convert a float with a zero whole part into an integer 1. Reverse the character sequence representing this float 2. Remove the decimal point to obtain the desired integer Example : Convert the float 0.002743 into its integer equivalent 1. Reverse the float string to obtain 347200.0 2. Remove the decimal point to obtain the integer 3472000 3. Note : All corresponding integers will be terminated by the character “0” Algorithm #2 : Convert a float with a non-zero whole part into an integer 1. Count the number of whole digits or NWD (those preceding the decimal point ) 2. Append a number of “0” digits equal to NWD to the float. 3. Append a digit “1” to the resulting float 4. Remove the decimal point to obtain the desired integer Example : Convert the float 1230.0098 into its integer equivalent 1. Count the number of whole digits : NWD = 4 2. Append NWD = 4 “0” digits to obtain 1230.00980000 3. Append a digit “1” to obtain 1230.009800001 4. Remove the decimal point : this gives us the final integer of 1230009800001 Note : We append a digit “1” to distinguish the integers derived from floats with non-zero whole parts from integers generated by floats with zero whole parts . This can be done for every float [whole.fraction] where whole > 0 !!! AMAZING!!! We just came up with a scheme which pairs each positive float with a positive integer. Reverse Algorithms : Converting valid syntax integers into floats also exist
I have always preferred solving linear equations with matrices, it is my go-to method. I like it because it is faster, saves me from having to write all the variables at each step, and because it is so neat and compact makes it easier to find errors. 5:00 It's always easier to rearrange the equations to the point-slope form which makes plotting so much easier. y = 2x, and y = x/2 + 3/2. 13:00 It would be more helpful to draw the resultant vector, (0,3) first so the target is plainly visible.
The only disappointment for me is the fact that Prof. Strang can't see my submission to his excellence and gratitude for his contribution, as I feel every time I see him.
In operatins research class, im trying to explain this concept. Some people think that its unrelated. Im happy to see somebody trying to give the same concept to the students at the start of the class😊
I olny had math until 6th form (around 12th grade) and i was invited one day to see a matrix class. And let me tell after the first 14 minutes of this video i really felt in love with maths
Any linear equations work for higher powers so they are independent of dimensions. Like 5 x square plus 6 y square equals 20. So dimensions are just reflections. It is true for even vector cross and dot. That's why biological forms and animals forms are cranked. Though vegetations are straight.
This is so helpful. I adore professor Gilbert so much. It was a bit surprising to go straight into linear equations at first, but it worked out in the end.

For a person who is not really good at math, I hope this will really help me to develop a big picture of what linear algebra is. Thanks Prof. Strang.
You know a man's the GOAT if lectures from almost 2 decades ago with chalk and a blackboard are better than 90% of the content online. Thank You, Professor Strang and MIT for bringing such amazing content to the world...
thank you Mr Strang for your lecture!!! i don't understand yet the fact that with 2 millions subscribers, only 4000 folow your lecture!! Your chain is one of the best i found regarding basical science, congratulations!!!
Thanks for this; the impact of these videos on Linear Algebra education can't be overstated!
Why is Prof. Strang so successful at teaching? It's not just that his explanations are clear and reasonable. His personal style has a lot to do with it. He comes across as unpretentious and as someone who is doing this journey with you.
There are so many moments when I wanted to give this video an extra LIKE! He's such a good teacher!
My lecturer in Linear Algebra was pretty good at doing mathematics but he was not so good at explaining it. I have really enjoyed these lectures and came back to the start just to encourage others to watch and enjoy.
This man is the best LA professor ever and these lectures are perfectly made. I really appreciate Prof. Strang and all the team involved.
guys if you are here because of machine learning then trust me this course is the most most useful one to do before even starting machine learning i can ensue you it worth it 100% i myself have completed this series and it just gave me leg up in ML trust me after this course you will be able to understand ml concept that some of highly paid ML people can't! it will be such a leg up in you ml career i swear i wish i can erase it from my memory and do all it all over again
p.s please do it right tho understand every concept go through book and do exercise if needed give it good 3 months atleast
I'm really happy that great lectures are available for free. Young people should appreciate it that they have internet and they can learn from materials from other universities especially from other countries from another part of the globe.
Can't remember last time i was so pleased learning maths, apart from a few 3b1b vids.
Thanks Sr.
I'm a student in Ariel University at Israel. I'm studying computer science and math, and I just want to say that you are a terrific teacher!
I will recommend your lectures to my friends for sure!
Thank you a lot.

does this mean that in aany country most people do not study from college clases
I'm studying in McGill and this man is saving lives. Ofc, cramming before the finals :D God bless this man. Watched his videos on 1.25x speed
Nice to see a fellow McGillian! I graduated in 2016.
I like the column perspective.
I don't want to write down a big definition, you can see what it is."
how much we need teachers like this.
Thank you MIT OpenCourseWare..Prof. Strang is God, Not only MIT students the whole World deserves a great teacher like him.
A student from India
this course is good for under graduate student
The clearest explanation with clearest English. That accent is very clear and manly.
In my whole life never did this matrix multiplication make me sense like why are we doing multiplication and addition to numbers in a box in a specific manner, which is very non-intuitive, But the column picture idea that you gave makes me think it is matrix is an awesome tool to the equations
thats the greatest explanation of geometry of linear equations i have ever seen, thank you for everything sir, greetings from istanbul technical university
Dr Strang is a Legend, Thank u Sir and MIT for this awesome
course
Wait, this was published 4 days before I decided I needed this? Thank you!
i guess they have re-uploaded the video again after fixing the audio channels. check their pinned comment before 1 month ! enjoy :)
Linear Algebra runs in his blood (Prof. Gilbert Strang). I now understand Linea Algebra thanks to his amazing lectures and his too much insight into this subject!!! He opens mind and unlocks concepts which are not naturally easy to grasp.
24:44 thanks to prof. strang that he didn't get away by just taking an easy example and explained other cases where it didn't work.

32:20 the way professor strang visualise the 9 dimensions is so impressive
So many questions answered in 40 minutes. Thank you so much, Professor Strang.
So, that's the reason for the row versus the column combinations! I could've used this concept in late 1976.
"It's the right place to start".. now, ..continuous observation of logarithmic 0-1-2-ness Polar-Cartesian i-reflection z axis containment in/of the x-y plane vector-value, convergent con-sequence, positioning. This is the "long hand" breakdown of pure-math Actuality, point-line-circle log-antilog conic-cyclonic coherence-cohesion Timing-Spacing.
Collect Mr Strang's lectures like a puzzle now (Because he's really good)
Really got the points!
First time in my life I have completed a lecture on math and also learned multiple new things!
All concepts got cleared.
Thank you Gilbert Strang for introducing me to LA.
Respect++;
I enjoyed this lecture. Professor Strang seems like a congenial person truly interested in imparting his knowledge. Some professors seem to look down on their students and have the attitude that if you don't get it, tough.
That’s why people goes to MIT. What a class!
Linear Algebra has been my good old friend for several decades, but now I see a fresh look at my friend that looks much younger, all this thanks to the amazing profession Prof. Dr. Gilbert Strang. The essence of the timeless reverence Guru Brahma proved again. I shall be going through the entire series, even though, I wish I had this opportunity a decade and half ago. 🙏
The Business Analytics admission director for McCombs school of business told me to watch these videos for a understanding of linear algebra.
Thank you Dr. Gilbert Strang. I am a senior lecturer at Azerbaijan State Agrarian University. I teach the subject Linear Algebrain in English . You explain very clearly.
I came here just for fun, but end up knowing something new. A new and easy method to multiply matrix. Thank you so much 🥰
I passed my linear algebra with a 100%but I literally didn’t know shit why those are happening. Thank you Dr Strang for letting us know what is linear algebra truly about.
This is an amazing lecture for Linear Algebra. Thank you Prof. Strang!
Even his voice sounds like a professor. Thanks for the upload!!🎉
At 20:50 This is why studying at MIT is worth the tuition. Great teacher!

I can see in the class of this excellent professor and mathematician what the real problem in mathematical education is: our obsession to cover the topics always skips the necessity of the students to form the proper intuition of a topic. Intuition takes time, but above all takes proper activities to develop it. His talk is basically about the generation of spaces through linear combinations, but honestly could anyone sitting down there and listening reproduce those ideas without the help of proper representations, say, software, or at least good pictures? In mathematics, physics etc, intuition is the most important, but scholastic education has always tortured them with logic. That is totally unfair and a waste of talented students.
Why u say it is devoid of intuition when he is showing exact steps of logic? Sure, u may miss understanding the steps of logic, but nothing he is saying depends on intuition! Follow the formula correctly, get the right answer! Make a mistake in calculating, get the wrong answer!

U can pause and think for yourself.
Explaining the 3 planes converge on a point doesn't require a visual aid: two intersecting planes meet in a line such that they are perpendicular to each other along the z axis, the line on that z axis intersecting a third plane on that z axis is perceived as a dot in that z plane. The dot is the product derived by the 3 intersecting planes.
My term 2 (semester 2) is about to start. There we have maths 2 and to prepare myself for that I am here.My Senior suggested me this.
I am in foundation level (1st year) of IIT MADRAS (India) BS in Data Science and Applications.
Seems good one!
Yet to explore more!
By the way Thanks to Respected Prof Gilbert and MIT.
Hii! I'm the same case as you, preparing for maths 2
Well boys, future starts here.
Studying for fun. Thanks for a beautiful lecture. Way to connect the dots, literally
Hot off the presses : We can pair every positive floating point number
using up only about 20% of the integers
Algorithm #1 : Convert a float with a zero whole part into an integer
1. Reverse the character sequence representing this float
2. Remove the decimal point to obtain the desired integer
Example : Convert the float 0.002743 into its integer equivalent
1. Reverse the float string to obtain 347200.0
2. Remove the decimal point to obtain the integer 3472000
3. Note : All corresponding integers will be terminated by the character “0”
Algorithm #2 : Convert a float with a non-zero whole part into an integer
1. Count the number of whole digits or NWD (those preceding the decimal point )
2. Append a number of “0” digits equal to NWD to the float.
3. Append a digit “1” to the resulting float
4. Remove the decimal point to obtain the desired integer
Example : Convert the float 1230.0098 into its integer equivalent
1. Count the number of whole digits : NWD = 4
2. Append NWD = 4 “0” digits to obtain 1230.00980000
3. Append a digit “1” to obtain 1230.009800001
4. Remove the decimal point : this gives us the final integer of 1230009800001
Note : We append a digit “1” to distinguish the integers derived from floats with
non-zero whole parts from integers generated by floats with zero whole parts .
This can be done for every float [whole.fraction] where whole > 0 !!! AMAZING!!!
We just came up with a scheme which pairs each positive float with a positive integer.
Reverse Algorithms : Converting valid syntax integers into floats also exist
I have always preferred solving linear equations with matrices, it is my go-to method. I like it because it is faster, saves me from having to write all the variables at each step, and because it is so neat and compact makes it easier to find errors.
5:00 It's always easier to rearrange the equations to the point-slope form which makes plotting so much easier. y = 2x, and y = x/2 + 3/2.
13:00 It would be more helpful to draw the resultant vector, (0,3) first so the target is plainly visible.
The only disappointment for me is the fact that Prof. Strang can't see my submission to his excellence and gratitude for his contribution, as I feel every time I see him.
In operatins research class, im trying to explain this concept. Some people think that its unrelated. Im happy to see somebody trying to give the same concept to the students at the start of the class😊
I olny had math until 6th form (around 12th grade) and i was invited one day to see a matrix class.
And let me tell after the first 14 minutes of this video i really felt in love with maths
God bless him.
Thanks x 100 times for sharing this video.
I watch all the videos about Professor Gilbert Strang.
I like the the way you are analyzing the questions
Any linear equations work for higher powers so they are independent of dimensions. Like 5 x square plus 6 y square equals 20. So dimensions are just reflections. It is true for even vector cross and dot. That's why biological forms and animals forms are cranked. Though vegetations are straight.
This is so helpful. I adore professor Gilbert so much. It was a bit surprising to go straight into linear equations at first, but it worked out in the end.
Please spread this school on your wall and your friends because students need to see it.
So will you.
There are more than 4 000 tasks and theorems for primary and secondary school students.
Thank you for your contribution.

Man this is the definition of LECTURE.....❤️❤️
I'm gonna learn linear programming for economic planning. Thanks for the linear algebra lectures!
It's easier thinking a matrix as a linear combination of columns! Tank you, mr Strang.
