    "there is some fundamental truth, independent of our perception, that is tying all of these independent [mathematical] concepts together" -Sal Khan
    looks really official like this (he says this at 12:52 )

      Just acknowledge this already, take it and go with it, that There Is God, your Creator, and Our Creator and Our Redeemer.
      and go from paganism to the Faith in One True Most High God.
      GOD Bless you.

    (A inverse)* ( (A) * (x) ) = ( (A inverse) * (A) ) * (x)
    the result is that in both cases you are left with (x)
    Ax/A=x and (A/A)(x)=x
    with matrices you substitute A^-1(A) with Identity matrix(I) and any matrix
    multiplied by an Identity matrix is just that matrix. In this case the matrix Ix=x.

    i learned to just turn the vector equation into a simultaneous equation and solve it, so i knew where this was going after watching the previous vid. the first time i've ever learnt about using matrices for anything were from these vids >.>

    @tomernd1 That is the point tomernd1. Isn't a coordinate represented by (x,y)? Your idea of 2D (x,y) coordinates have a definite connection to all of linear algebra.

    When does solving a system of equations using a matrix become quicker? Finding the inverse seems to become exponentially more time consuming as you use bigger matrices.

  • @tifius
    @tifius 16 років тому

    I believe it refers to the angle or direction. Not 100% sure though but two vectors are the same if they have the same direction and magnitude so I guess that's what he means :)

  • @frankytaylor720
    @frankytaylor720 11 років тому

    I have a question. What if an object in time travel goes on a fourth vector? Can a matrix show its domain in lets say 5 minutes? How much he "consumed" of time-space? How it looks like geometrically?

  • @iLoveTurtlesHaha
    @iLoveTurtlesHaha 7 років тому

    I find using the inverse to be so messy for a problem like this. I just put all the values in an augmented matrix and row reduce to find the variables. Then I just write the solution in parametric form. I paused the vid, solved it in 10 seconds and just daydreamed the rest of the vid away. ADHD = the bane of my existence.

    In the second step, the organization of the matrices is just one possible way of setting up the problem, right?

    What applications would the mentioned "vector space" have? It seems like it'd be most useful in n-dimensional analysis, but I can't understand its value for vector calculus. Does anyone know what it's for? Topology?

  • @TomerBenDavid
    @TomerBenDavid 15 років тому +1

    Hi, can anyone help me?
    I understand that the b vector is the linear combination of the 2 first vectors.
    I also understand that its the same problem as solving the x,y equation, but what I fail to understand is why *intuitively* we can multiply the first scalar of first vector by x and the second scalar of the second vector by y to get the b, i mean it looks like we are mixing up x,y

  • @nucspartan321
    @nucspartan321 7 років тому

    Khan, you shouldn't re-use your x and y variables to also be the vector you multiply the matrix of coefficients by. You should make that vector be like h and l and leave x and y only as the coordinates of your original vectors.

    • @fb-gu2er
      @fb-gu2er 10 років тому

      not really, the determinant is a scalar, matrix are normally not commutative but they commute with a scalar. let A and B be matrices and x be a scalar. is the same x(AB) than (xA)B
      or even

    Khan, your platonism or kantianism disturbs me! If you knew Kurt Gödel's Incompleteness Theorem you would think thirty three times before saying that reality has a correspondent mathematical essence... I suggest reading Friedrich Ludwig Gottlob Frege, Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, besides Gödel, and Wilhelm Friedrich Nietzsche - not in that other, read them in a chronological order -.
