    2) study on manuals/uni the details and the exercises
    3) re-watch to wrap up and abstract from details for a last consolidation

I had just been memorizing facts and definitions of jargon without context, and using those facts to solve basically puzzles I didn't know anything about; now, I'm actually getting an intuition for how this relates to real vectors in space.

      In and identity matrix, the main diagonal elements are 1 and others are zero. Which means after transformation, the basis vectors remain in the same place.[the first column is 1 0 0 , second is 0 1 0...].
      This is why a vector remains unchanged when multiplied by identity matrix.

Consider TIME AND time dilation ON BALANCE. The stars AND PLANETS are POINTS in the night sky ON BALANCE.
      The diameter of WHAT IS THE MOON is about one quarter of that of what is THE EARTH. On balance, the density of what is the Sun is believed to be about one quarter of that of what is THE EARTH. Excellent. Consider what is THE EYE ON BALANCE. The TRANSLUCENT AND BLUE sky is CLEARLY (and fully) consistent WITH what is E=MC2. WHAT IS THE EARTH/ground is fully consistent WITH what is E=MC2. CLEAR water comes from what is THE EYE ON BALANCE. Notice what is the fully illuminated (AND setting/WHITE) MOON AND what is the orange (AND setting) Sun. They are the SAME SIZE as what is THE EYE ON BALANCE. Lava IS orange, AND it is even blood red. Yellow is the hottest color of lava. The hottest flame color is blue. What is E=MC2 is dimensionally consistent. WHAT IS E=MC2 is consistent with TIME AND what is gravity. What is gravity is, ON BALANCE, an INTERACTION that cannot be shielded or blocked.
      Consider what are the tides. The human body has about the same density as water. Lava is about three times as dense as water. The bulk density of WHAT IS THE MOON IS comparable to that of (volcanic) basaltic lavas on what is THE EARTH/ground. Pure water is half as dense as packed sand/wet packed sand. Now, the gravitational force of WHAT IS THE SUN upon WHAT IS THE MOON is about twice that of THE EARTH. Accordingly, ON BALANCE, the crust of the far side of what is the Moon is about twice as thick as the crust of the near side of what is the Moon. The maria (lunar “seas”) occupy one third of the visible near side of what is the Moon. The surface gravity of the Moon is about one sixth of that of what is THE EARTH/ground. The lunar surface is chiefly composed of pumice. The land surface area of what is the Earth is 29 percent. This is exactly between (ON BALANCE) one third AND one quarter. Finally, notice that the density of what is the Sun is believed to be about one quarter of that of what is THE EARTH. One half times one third is one sixth. One fourth times two thirds is one sixth.

At my high school, since not many people are advanced enough to do linear algebra, we have to teach ourselves. There are about 20 or so kids in my class and we each alternate teaching the class, and everyone is new to teaching. So, we ended up doing about 6 numerical theorems for every section without thinking about it, many without proofs.

But we were taught the formulae by rote, the words "basis vector" were never used that I can remember.

    ok so when you turn in a video game you are essentially rotating the whole environment around you in the opposite direction. To do that you are multiplying every vector of every object in your environment by a matrix which is the transformed version of the original view's basis (now I understand why do some graphic developers use the term rotation matrix ).And if you turn again, you transform the transformed vectors and keep on doing it every time you turn. Oh my god this is really EXHILERATING. Much appreciations for the content, very good content.

    Currently studying for my first linear algebra exam tomorrow. I've been scratching my head on how solving matrices actually works but this video gave me a eureka moment where I just *had* to pull out my tablet and start scribbling. I realized that if A is just an encoded set of transformations that we apply to some vector x to get vector b, then when we solve for x by multiplying b by the inverse of A we are essentially just finding the set of transformations that returns a matrix transformed by A to its original self! My ramblings may not make much sense in the form of UA-cam comment, but I am truly grateful for your work!

    I once asked my teacher "what is the real purpose of learning matrices and it's applications in real life and how should I visualise it? " But All he ever said was "it is not really applicable in real life and he added that I should just practice hard to be good at it". After all these years, I finally got all my questions answered. Thank you soo much bro.

  • @shaon56
    @shaon56 3 роки тому +3

    If you study solid mechanics or finite element anlaysis, then this transformation using matrices gets pretty clear. You break down a structure into points and apply the stress and shear equations between the points and convert them to matrices to get the answer. But even though I did not realize that this is what it actually means when we do matrice multiplication in mathematics.
    Thanks for the videos. You have explained very nicely!

    Very pretty animations indeed.
    However my one complain: When you rotate your vectors you shorten them along the way. I'd animate them in such a way, that the length stays the same all the way through. But this is nitpicking at its finest ;)

    • @UMosNyu
      @UMosNyu 8 років тому

      Pure rotation does not change the length. And he is also showing the "keep length"-version in his 2D examples (0:47). However in his 3D animations (2:25) he now changes the length along the way.

    • @redjr242
      @redjr242 7 років тому +4

      I'm guessing he's doing a linear interpolation (lerp) between some start and end vectors
      He could normalize the vectors at each step, but then the speed of rotation would still not be constant.
      I read about this sometime ago, and from what I remember, the rotational analog of "lerp" that preserves lengths and angular speed along the way is called "slerp"! (for spherical lerp).
      Not sure if there's a way to interpolate a general transformation in a nice way though.

    so basically you always and only need n^2 numbers to definite that transformation, with n being the number of dimensions, right? E.g., a 2-D space would require 4 numbers, a 3-D space required 9 numbers, 4-D requires 16, etc.

    yup awesome.Reminds me of 1960's schools mathematics project (UK: remember that anyone?) .. also set out to explain the 'why' more than the 'how to'. Alas, that collapsed inside the ridiculous UK education football*, that has seen fit to dumb down deeper mathematical understanding; now you don't get that until university maths, and teaching this at school is regrettably all about rote again. Not only are the videos excellent and illuminating, but your entire agenda here is admirable .. every A level (further) maths student should play them out and be enlightened.* not many years ago, it was debated in parliament whether to retain the quadratic equation in GCSE maths - it's (shamefully)true

    Did you linearly interpolate those basis vectors to make the rotation animation? :) Because during that transition the vectors cese to be unit vectors, and the grid gets squashed. It would be best to just animate the angles and recompute the rotation matrix for each frame, or use a unit quaternion and slerp.

    • @3blue1brown
      @3blue1brown  8 років тому +1

      *sigh*...yeah. It was a bit of laziness in the moment to just reuse the same general format that I had for the previous transformation. Some of it stems from the fact that I was using a different tool from usual that wasn't quite as easy to tweak.

Typically used for 3d stress transformations and even mass inertia matrices, however this can be used for 2d stress transformation as well, but usually also done by trigonometry.

    I never really understood what matrices represented or what linear transformation actually meant. It was my lucky day when I randomly just started watching these videos. These are absolute gold! Anybody who thinks mathematics is all about arbitrary number crunching will have a change of heart.
    The meaning of an identity matrix (diagonal matrix with 1s) is so clear after watching this. Basically the basis vectors remain at the same place before and after transformation and hence the multiplication with another vector/matrix results in that same vector/matrix!

  • @thile4089

    I get that it's helpful to think of matrices in terms of linear transformation, but for me to imagine how the basis vectors transform in 2-d or 3-d is still really hard. How do you look at the numbers and understand the general direction of its transformation?
