MIT OCW: Linear Algebra 18.06 Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• Linear Algebra Done Right – 4th Edition

  A lot of people think Gil Strang was that. Certainly his 18.06SC lecture series is fabulous.[1] I really like Sheldon Axler and he has made a series of short videos to accompany the book that I think are wonderful. Very clear and easy to understand, but with a little bit more of the intuition behind the proofs etc. [1] https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL221E2BBF13BECF6C&si=G2XqE-itCFzQt7VE [2]... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• where to learn linear algebra

  Kahn Academy as well as MIT OCW from Prof. Gill Strang are both excellent resources I have used time and time again. There's nothing wrong with it when you want to get started. I emphasize this to note that you will need to pivot to a textbook for some more formal learning. Source: 11 months ago

• Math Prerequisites and some other questions.

  Background - So after a bit of researching through this subreddit, I am currently working my way through Linear Algebra and Probability Theory. I also did a stats course as a part of my undergrad, but dont really recall much from that. Besides these, I've also taken a grad intro to AI course, but as you'd expect it covered basic stuff like search, adversarial games, constraint satisfaction, bayesian inference etc. Source: 11 months ago

• Best place to practice Linear Algebra?

  The MIT OCW by Strang is great. It has problem sets, solutions, and discussion sections in addition to the regular lectures. Source: about 1 year ago

• Ask HN: What are some of the best university courses available online for free?

  Came here to say this. Go through the actual course methodically though - readings, summaries, problems solutions. It's incredible. Miles ahead of coursera equiv. https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/18-06sc-linear-algebra-fall-2011/pages/resource-index/. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• MIT OCW 18.06SC Linear Algebra Gilbert Strang

  Hi, I’m looking for some buddies who are interested in studying this online course and the textbook with me. Here is a link to the course. I’m not a complete beginner, I did take a class in linear algebra 3 years ago, but unfortunately I only did the bare minimum to pass the course, so I want to gain a more full understanding this time. I don’t mind if you’re a beginner or if it’s revision for you. My time zone is... Source: over 1 year ago

• Mathematical Spaces

  What you’re really after is the notion of a vector space—as an engineer, usually you’re required to take a linear algebra course (which covers vector spaces) as part of your degree. If you want to learn about it on your own, MIT OpenCourseware has an amazing linear algebra course that I learned from: https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/18-06sc-linear-algebra-fall-2011/.

  Any opinions on what to learn in Linear Algebra after Gilbert Strang’s 18.06SC? https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/18-06sc-linear-algebra-fall-2011/ My goal is to learn the math behind machine learning. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Linear Algebra MIT OCW 18.06 SC. Great content—but where are the problem sets/assignments? Advice needed from those who have completed this course

  Hello everyone, I just got done with multivariable calculus from mit ocw and will be starting the linear algebra course soon. Unlike the calculus courses, I noticed there were no typical problem sets after a couple of units. There are however, a few review questions in each unit, and also the accompanying text book contains problems. In addition, I also found these problems sets from the previous course. I am not...
