    After so many years of using linear algebra, until today I finally understand the meaning of matrix multiplication. matrix*vector is linear combination of the columns of the matrix, and vector*matrix is linear combination of the row of the matrix. Then from this standpoint, the meaning of permutation matrix becomes so obvious. Thank you Prof. Strang.

Now I’m rather surprised in be interested and in spending time to watch these valuable lectures on linear algebra, above all because I have nothing to do with them in my current life. But concepts are here so clearly explained that they turn me on the pleasure to remember how I was, that time puzzled, and how you can catch up comprehension of things after so many years.

    there's something about his lectures that make it so easy for me to concentrate and follow along. I think it's because he thinks out loud; verbalizing the literal thought processes he runs through to compute this stuff, like he himself is learning for the first time and trying to understand what's going on. even though he's on a higher level than all of us mathematically, he still retains such a clear understanding of the basics.

      curtsher11 Then this would not be a good lecture at all. A class is suppose to be taken from a perspective that you are starting to learn. I just started this lecture and I am still unsure if I should continue watching it.

      I'd find something more basic. No sense in stretching your mind on the first class.

      +curtsher11 Thats the problem. There are key elements in matrix multiplication that he did not covered. I already learned what they are but if your missing a building block, then you cant study ahead.

      +EasyCooking yea ,absolutely ,its not for new learners ,its for the one who really wants to know how all things works ,, and why we should learn them and what is the best way to solve the problems, i do suggest everyone to learn linear algebra once .

    This is a great series as so much of understanding math comes from the instructor's ability to convey the material in an understandable way. I have a very intelligent instructor at my university, but he does not take an intuitive, step by step approach. Many students are therefore left scratching their heads and trying to make sense of the text, which is bad enough. These videos have been invaluable to me. Thanks for posting them!

    I'm liking these videos a lot, but I admit that if this was my first introduction to Linear Algebra, I would be confused. I have already had a LA course before, and these videos are just great for me to think about things differently and connect the concepts in different ways. Have had a few "aha!" moments with things I only did mechanically before.

      Vmt16 If you are unfamiliar with math then I highly recommend KhanAcademy - that site has countless math videos and the site is extremely easy to use.
      You don't need to be a member or anything, you can just enter the site, then choose "Subjects" at the top of the page and go to "Math" and then just start watching the videos and practicing the example problems - and it's even 100% free!
      It's a perfect educational site in every possible way you can think of, and the creator of the site, Salman Khan, is also very likeable and relaxed and has a great sense of humour as well.
      Here is a direct link to the site:

    I find it interesting that there were ~278,000 views of the first lecture, but only ~90,000 views of this one... I wonder if MIT has that sort of drop-out rate ;-).
