Why You Should Give a Shit About Linear Algebra | Practical Linear Algebra (Lecture 1)
Ғылым және технология
Linear algebra is the most useful thing you'll ever learn.
This is the first lecture in a course on practical linear algebra. I'll provide some motivation, go over some real-world applications, and explain the content and characteristics of the course.
Time for some hardcore learning.
This course is for anyone with an interest in any of these topics: math, science, engineering, physics, computer science, AI, computer vision, computer graphics, game development, robotics, aeronautics, or computational finance. Linear algebra is regularly used in all these fields.

Dude awesome, thanks for making these!
thank you so much! looking forward to your series
excited for whole playlist
Best video
Dude I’m so hyped after watching this. After doing a lin alg course as a cs requirement my biggest question was ok.. what was all of that even for.. I seriously look forward to your videos in this series as they are incredibly well done and, almost randomly will probably pick up steam when you least expect it, due to the quality alone

Thanks a lot -- more coming soon!
Just found this while looking at calculus 3 videos, hyped for this as my linear algebra course at university was terrible and I’ve forgotten most of it. As a CS major, using numpy and python to show real world examples of the topics is just what I’m looking for. When can we expect Lecture 2?

So true that linear algebra is taught wrong. I was excited to learn about linear algebra after watching 3b1b series on KZread. Once I started my class abt a month ago it was very different. The lecture consists of the prof just proving theorems and stating axioms. There is no motivation behind why this theorem is important or how it will be used. To be fair he is a nice dude but he just sits and writes proofs on his projector for 2 hours. Then we got weekly homework assignments which is 10x harder than the lecture. No one even knows where to start cuz there are no examples in lecture and the problems are all like “prove the intersection of these 2 sun spaces is also a sub space and find dimension”. It can definitely be taught so much better but I think a lot of people who teach it don’t realize that most students haven’t even heard of linear algebra and have no idea why any of this works

Had a similar experience. First linalg class I took was awful, too abstract -- and I like abstract topics in the first place. But a couple years later I took an engineering-focused course on linalg with an amazing prof... then I really learned linalg.
WOW! You whet my appetite for this subject! 😂
Can confirm. Took it at my uni after hearing that it would be the most important math course I’ll ever take and by the end of the semester I was confused as to why. Still got an A but I don’t know jack about it if that makes any sense lol
I can confirm this Linear Algebra course did indeed blow my mind. Can we get a Japanese language tutorial next?

Lol. Hey Kedar
finally reached here after founding boring tutorials for day on Linear Algebra for AI/ML
Ok, this is preaching to the converted. I have DNNs of cars learning to drive which I coded without a library, 3d portals. I'll jump ahead I think. But yeah, I accept your point, who cares less about formal proofs. It's just numberlines in more than one direction, obviously it works.
Hello, when will the full lecture be available. Thank you

I'm uploading a new lecture every week or two as I go, and I plan to have 10 or so lectures, so it'll probably be a few months until everything is fully uploaded. The next lecture (lecture 3) will be up sometime next week. Thanks for your patience and your interest in the topic!
2:26 Yes it showed up in science behind crypto trading technical "indicators", and i came to the conclusion that, i would have to learn it, there is no other way around...
Now I know linear algebra isn't a tool designed for torturing students. It is a tool to make life easier
Why give a shit because it's in syllabus , simple bro 😂
