In summary, "MIT Math for Engineers" by Gilbert Strang is an intermediate level course that covers topics such as linear algebra, differential equations, and Fourier analysis. While it is tailored towards engineers, it can also benefit those interested in applied mathematics. It is recommended to have a solid understanding of calculus and linear algebra before taking this course. There is also a textbook available, "Introduction to Applied Mathematics," written by Gilbert Strang, that can be used for further practice and understanding.
