This introduces the "Essence of linear algebra" series, aimed at animating the geometric intuitions underlying many of the topics taught in a standard linear ...
========== Hey, everyone! So I'm pretty excited about the next sequence of videos that I'm doing. It'll be about It'll be about linear algebra, which—as a lot of you know—is one of those subjects that's required knowledge for just about any technical discipline, but it's also—I've noticed—generally poorly understood by students taking it for the first time. A student might go through a class and learn how to compute lots of things, like matrix multiplication, or the determinant, or cross products—which use the determinant—or eigenvalues, but they might come out without really understanding why matrix multiplication is defined the way that it is, why the cross product has anything to do with the determinant, or what an eigenvalue really represents. Often time...
