Good job
Lol I know how to do computations with eigenstuff and thought I didn't need this lecture. Then within the first 5 minutes or so, he starts discussing eigenvectors in terms of projection matrices (if you're already in a subspace of the projection matrix, your direction doesn't change). This kind of esoteric insight is why I've followed this lecture series from lecture 1. He gets my head turning every time. Professor Strang, you are a gift to humanity, I wish you well! And many thanks to MIT OCW for making these teachings available to people everywhere ☺️ A lot of good will come of this Anyways, back to the lecture.

where are other lectures
A lot of viewers here stating that they wish they had a lecturer like Gilbert. I am one of those viewers. But as a lecturer myself, I sometimes find myself in a room full of students who don't give a sh.t about anything I say or anything I explain, and it comes to a point where I want to quit my job. When you click on a link to learn math you are fully motivated. Gilbert has a full room of MIT minds who are open to learning. But when you face a group of students who are just looking for loopholes in your syllabus, who don't give a sh.t about your lessons, always fight for 0.01 points every time you conduct an exam, you began to question things. Yeah, I wish I had a lecturer like him and I am equally sorry that I cannot be a lecturer like him.

You should need to be sorry for it. You are a lecturer, if you like to do so, keep on improving. Somewhere, somehow you will come across some of students who are opening to learning. That is enough, one student is enough

There is a good chance that someone will be interested in the lesson. It might just be difficult to spot these students especially when students are scared of asking or answering questions in lecture halls. I feel so bad whenever lecturers ask a question but no one answers. It makes it seem like everyone is not interested, but when in reality at least one person will want to learn. I guess if I am a lecturer myself, that is reason enough to continue teaching. :).

@@mori1799 Honestly, I believe that one major reason why a lot of students hesitate to ask questions during lectures is because a lot of people pull the "stupid question" move as soon as someone asks a question that happens to have an answer that is familiar for most people; this makes students feel like "maybe I shouldn't ask this question, because I will seem stupid to everyone else if they happen to know the answer to that question". We should encourage people to ask questions whenever they are looking for the answer to that question, _even_ if it might appear to have an "obvious" answer to most people. Yes, of course there exist rude and highly inappropriate questions that aren't okay to ask, and sometimes you are required to know the answer to certain things (for example, a pilot had better be able to answer questions about the basics of how to control an aeroplane), but if someone asks an honest, harmless question, then it also deserves a polite answer.

@Peter_1986 I agree. Students tend to overestimate the knowledge of their peers. I had a lecturer once who told us that if you have a question for something, then likely the majority of students in the hall will also contemplate the same question. In my experience, I remember always hesitating to ask a question, because I would just assume that I forgot a specific Lemma or a theorem which has been used in the proof. I didnt want to interrupt the lectures too much, so I'd rather work through it on my own.

Math is a rough subject to lecture for. Unless you’re out of the gen Ed area, you’re guaranteed low motivation from students. Math is one of the least appreciated school subjects in the west.

@@starguy2718 Yeah. This might be more accurate overall, but it doesn't give you the same feeling that germans have when hearing "Eigenvektor". We have the word characteristic aswell in German ("Charakteristisch") and you can say "Du bist mein Eigen" meaning "you are my own", not "You are my characteristic". So it depends. Im no language expert but Eigen and own might even be descandents from the same word, because they some(edit: sound not some) similiar and basicly have the same meaning.

@@luojihencha That was what interested me some years ago. I knew it was a German word. It made it seem more fascinating. I'm not very good at maths. I knew from some telecom etc and electronics that this maths was used somehow to decode noise in signals (or find information in a distorted signal). But I had no idea how. I didn't need to know. But it intrigued me. I am a writer and poet not actually in any science field but keep some interest. But I find this maths as he does it like something more than maths, it is like a strange abstract poem and yet it is illustrated by referring to vectors and vector spaces which remind me of Wittgenstein's 'logic spaces'. W started as a mathematician but became a philosopher.

It is almost as if the whole thing for me was about the word 'Eigen' as I sounded it. (Probably not as interesting to a German speaker! Just the way I imagine it...)
Listening to him think his way through problems is the analytical education we need, and not just for algebra. His candor is well appreciated. He attacks very complicated ideas with a simple tongue. And in spite of all the newer technology, i am learning more from his approach than the newer educators.

The depth to which Professor Gilbert delves to explain any topic is truly impressive, making the learning experience engaging, comprehensive, and incredibly enriching🔥
Maths is not limited to formulas and algebra, it's about insights and thought process, and that makes it beautiful. Thanks Prof Gilbert Strang for wonderful lectures
Best lecture that explains intuition behind eigen values and eigen vectors. It's not just about cramming the formula.
Did a crash course on Lin Algebra that purely calculated these. I knew all the steps. But did I really know it? Now i do.. Thank you Gilbert Strang. I endeavour to do ALL your courses that you have available on the internet. What a remarkable world we live in today..
"What does a matrix do?" That is the most influential question that I've ever heard in mathematics, and with an easy to follow answer as well! Dr. Strang is definitely the gold standard at teaching this beautiful subject.
Dear Gilbert Strang!! I wish to kiss your hands, your sacred hands as you are my Guru of Matrix Algebra. You explain so well. your way of teaching is miraculous.

Notes: 32:00 If a matrix A is added by a multiple of Identity, and its eigenvalues will turned out to be the multiple number + A’s eigenvalues. (A+B)x != (a+b)x because we cannot sure if x is the eigenvectors for both A and B, works the same for (AB)x 39:00 With an example of orthogonal rotation matrix: 1. Trace has to be the sum of the eigenvalues and the det has to be the product of the eigenvalues. 2. There is a trouble in orthogonal rotation matrix since we don’t have any eigenvector parallel to the Ax. The eigenvalues will appear to be the imaginary number. 46:20 With an example of a a11 = 3, a12= 1, a21 = 0, a22 =3 (Triangular matrix) 1. Eigenvalues will appear to be in the diagonal. 2. The number of eigenvectors could be less than the the number of eigenvalues
Gilbert Strang is an absolute gem.
This was a topic that I found more difficult at University. Had to pause a few times to follow and understand correctly but it was worth it. Really good explanations here.
I've looked at a lot of explanations for Eiganvectors and eiganvalues but this is the first one to clearly identify the vectors in R3. and to show how zero lambdas represent vectors in the null space.
From this great lecture, I am finally learning the full meaning and understanding of eigenvalues and eigenvectors in linear and system theory. DR. Strang is the leading commentator on this subject.
Thank you for existing Gilbert Strang. I am grateful to you for showing me the beauty and elegance of mathematics
listening to professor Strang is like watching a sci-fi movie, time to time i start seeing the exact same concept in different view points.
prof.strang teaches you how to think !!! a rare thing in many
Amazing and intuitive material, keep these coming.
Sir Gilbert Stang is my inspiration for learning linear algebra
So much comprehensive lecture I've ever seen!!!
Hats Off Professor, You are an inspiration!
Can't help thinking: If Jimmy Stewart taught linear algebra. Excellent lectures.

This discussion has an application for the quantum sciences. The quantum Hall spin-polarized effect has subatomic particles translations through crystalline structures in arbitrary space. This has an epic important for finding new medical, electronics, energy, and other devices that will change our world.
4:20 If A is singular then $\lambda=0$ is an eigenvalue 15:00 An nxn matrix will have n eigenvalues and the tr(A) will be the sum of the eigenvalues 19:30 “A repeated lambda is the source of all trouble in 18.06” 25:00 Shows the polynomial contains the trace and the determinant, in the 2x2 case. 37:15 Example: Rotate vector by 90 degrees 38:47 The determinant is the product of the eigenvalues. 44:20 If we stick to symmetric matrices, or close to symmetric, then the eigenvalues will stay real. 46:50 With a triangular matrix, we can read the eigenvalues off of the diagonal
Years ago I decided to study Linear Algebra. I done a Cert in Engineering and we hadn't done many matrices or enough. So I was really struggling. But I passed as I used the formulae (the course book I had was for Stage 2 and I should really have being Stage 1. But for all that time, out of curiosity I wanted to know what they actually were. I couldn't easily see then how they were vectors. The lecturer makes it clear. I could follow up to finding the eigenvalues. I had always been puzzled how they ignored the other numbers not on the diagonal. Trying an identity as he had and changing the numbers I realised what that diagonal - the trace he called it - was. Amazing! I realized that the 3 1 / 1 3 was 3 x 1 1 / 1 1 It doesn't change except in the amount, not the direction. But in effect only the diagonal from top left to bottom right are significant.
Great teacher. Thank you very much
God bless you, Professor Strang.
I never seen an mathematical lecture this much interesting.
The way Prof. Strang explains how det(A-λI) = 0 comes is so enlightening! Wish I had taken to this course earlier.

If you invert a tangential eigen value relative to the elliptical transfraction of its angular differential momentum are you going to end up with an algebraic postulate equal to the original eigen value or will it invert the transfraction into a post eigen mutation? This has always bothered me. The math, as I'm sure you'll agree, is not elegant - but is, at least, functional. Eigen (e) e~n× t4.046 = a2 + a2r + a3 + a4 ÷ (integer extrapolate) ie 44 × Aa + aA2 (t4 f44)
Thank you!🙂
I love Gilbert
its been almost a decade, but I remember he wrote the textbook we used.
How does this idea transfer to eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of differential operators? They don't quite look like matrices, do they?
Symmetry is dual to anti-symmetry. Bosons (symmetric wave functions) are dual to Fermions (anti-symmetric wave functions) -- atomic duality, the spin statistics theorem. Bosons (waves) are dual to Fermions (particles) -- quantum duality. "Always two there are" -- Yoda.
Superb lectures

but i am still confused as to where and when at all would we encounter such a situation where we would be required to find eigen values and vectors ?? any domain aor example in mathematics , any example , where we would encounter situations like AX=LAMBDAX ?? Why at all we had to develop a whole subject of eigen , what was the trigger ??
