18.06SC Linear Algebra
18.06SC Linear Algebra (Fall 2011, MIT OCW). Taught by Prof. Gilbert Strang, this course covers matrix theory and linear algebra, emphasizing topics useful in other disciplines such as physics, economics and social sciences, natural sciences, and engineering. This course has been designed for independent study. It provides everything you will need to understand the concepts covered in the course. The materials include: a complete set of lecture videos, summary notes, problem solving videos, and a full set of exams and solutions. (from ocw.mit.edu)
| Lecture 01 - The Geometry of Linear Equations |
A major application of linear algebra is to solving systems of linear equations. This lecture presents three ways of thinking about these systems. The "row method" focuses on the individual equations, the "column method" focuses on combining the columns, and the "matrix method" is an even more compact and powerful way of describing systems of linear equations.
