    Thank you professor! I am amazed by the fact that professors from top institutes like MIT explain the mere basics without any expectation that we are supposed to know those topics earlier. On the other side our university professors just avoid the whole thing by saying "it isn't the part of syllabus, you are expected know this already". A huge salut and thanks to professor Strang and MIT team for publishing these videos free of cost.

    Gilbert Strang, you are truly an outstanding teacher! I am currently doing my Master's thesis in Finite Element Analysis and started watching these video lectures just for fun, since I already had some Linear Algebra back on my bachelor's. Your little sidenote at the end of a lecture about multiplying a system by A.transpose actually helped me crack a problem I'm dealing with right now. My finite element system had more equations than unknowns (because I'm fixing some internal degrees of freedom, not the nodes themselves) and I just couldn't figure out how to solve such system. I completely forgot about this trick of multiplying by a transpose!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!! My final system now has "good" dimensions and the stiffness matrix has a full rank!!!

    This lecture is a Tour of Force, every sentence he says, including the ancillary comments, are so well crafted that makes everything click with ease. Least Squares open the gates for the siamese fields of Optimization and Inverse Theory, so every bit of insight he shares has deep implications on those fields (and many others). It's not exaggeration to say that the whole lecture is an aha! moment. Very illuminating, thank you Professor Strang

    The dot product of orthogonal vectors equals zero. All of a sudden it clicked when I remembered my conclusion as to what a dot product actually was, that is, "what amount of one vector goes in the direction of another." Basically, if vectors are orthogonal, then no amount of one will go in the direction of the other. Like how a tree casts no shadow at noon.

    In many linear algebra courses that I have seen, the student is simply told about the various relationships between the fundamental subspaces. But in this course these ideas are convincingly yet accessibly presented. This is very important because it allows students to really understand such key ideas of linear algebra to the point where they become intuitive, instead of simply memorizing properties and formulas. Another great lecture by professor Strang!

    At 19:50 he said "When is a line through the origin orthogonal to whole plane? Never" but I think if we take any line through origin and a plane whose normal vector is parallel to that line then they both will be orthogonal. For example x-axis and y-z plane. Help me out please.

    • @wasiimo
      @wasiimo 6 лет назад +10

      By that he means any line passing through the origin that is in the plane(i.e a subspace of the plane) cannot be orthogonal to the whole plane. Of course if this line is parallel to the normal of the plane as you stated, then yes it will be orthogonal to every vector in that plane.

      I think its a little mistake that prof. Strang didn’t notice. Probably because prof Strang just taught what property of two vectors are orthogonal have.(ie XtY=0)
      But this require’s X and Y are column vectors. Here row vector is not a column vector, so no need to transpose in order to product another column vector. Simply row vector * x (which is a column vector) =0 is ok though. Nevertheless, I really like prof Strang’s style. Thank you prof Strang.

      Here we contemplate rows as vectors. And it is just a convention to write a vector vertical. So you have to transpose it if you mean to write it down horizontally.

    • @Nakameguro97
      @Nakameguro97 9 лет назад +1

      RetroAdvance Thanks for this confirmation - I suspected this reason was much more likely than Prof. Strang making a mistake here (as I have seen this convention in other textbooks). However, it's still confusing as he sometimes draws an array of rows [row_1 row_2 ... row_m] vertically implying that those are horizontal rows. Is this convention of all variables as vectors typically only apply to variables written in text?

    • @RetroAdvance
      @RetroAdvance 9 лет назад +4

      Ken Feng Yes, he often writes things down without a strict mathematical rigor for didactic reasons. [row1 row2 row3] is probably just Strang's intuitive formulation to get the point across so don't take that too seriously. As long as it is clear what he means by that it is ok.
      But a vector is different from its transposed version in terms of its matrix representation:
      V (element of R^n) is a n x 1 matrix
      V transposed is a 1 x n matrix

    • @nenadilic9486
      @nenadilic9486 3 года назад +2

      He didn't transpose the rows of A but the vectors named 'row-sub-i', which are, as any vector, always written in the column form.
      In other words, it is a convention that, if we want to to write a vector that corresponds to a row of any matrix A (the rows are not vectors by themselves) we write it as the proper vector which is the corresponding column of the matrix A transpose.
      This makes our notation consistent. Anytime we write a vector name (e.g. 'a'. 'row'. 'q', 'spectrum', 'x', 'v'...), we can always replace it with some matrix column. So, if we want to multiply another vector or matrix with it from the left, we must first transpose it.
      And it is not a mere convention! It is an essential property of the matrices: the columns are vectors, not the rows. If we could, at our own leisure, claim whenever we want that rows are also vectors, then the whole concept of a transposed matrix will be corrupted, even the concept of a matrix itself.

    19:50 why can't a line through the origin be orthogonal to a plane? It looks natural to me, that the z-axis is orthogonal to xy-plane

      it won't be orthogonal to every vector contained in the plane so it isn't orthogonal to the plane

      @@KaiyuKohai It is orthogonal to every vector in that plane, but the point is we are talking about 2D space: no vector in that space is orthogonal to a plane representing that space.

    well I don't think A' has an inverse. so you can't backtrack from eq 2 to eq 1

    @j4ckjs Thanks for the reply. It's just a confusing definition and if you google a bit on orthogonality, you find many other definitions contradicting this one. I think he should have pointed it out more clearly, but at least now I will be cautious when it comes to this topic. I guess that's good enough...

    In the section Row space orthogonal to null space, (time 25.40) do we need transpose for row. Because (row)*x is the scalar product, not (row)^T*x.

    • @nenadilic9486
      @nenadilic9486 3 года назад

      He didn't transpose the rows of A but the vectors named 'row-sub-i', which are, as any vector, always written in the column form.
      In other words, it is a convention that, if we want to to write a vector that corresponds to a row of any matrix A (the rows are not vectors by themselves) we write it as the proper vector which is the corresponding column of the matrix A transpose.
      This makes our notation consistent. Anytime we write a vector name (e.g. 'a'. 'row'. 'q', 'spectrum', 'x', 'v'...), we can always replace it with some matrix column. So, if we want to multiply another vector or matrix with it from the left, we must first transpose it.
      And it is not a mere convention! It is an essential property of the
      matrices: columns are vectors, not rows. If we could, at our own
      leisure, claim whenever we want that rows are also vectors, then the whole concept of a transposed matrix will be corrupted, even the concept of a matrix itself.

      @CoeusQuantitative Read my comment and any textbook. He didn't make any mistake. And no, Vijaya is not correct. And professor Gilbert certainly does not have ''senior moments''. His brain is more lucid than mine or yours have ever been or will ever be.
