Is there a good linear algebra video series (Besides MIT)?

In summary, there are several options available for an introductory course in linear algebra in video form. Some of the courses focus on a more theoretical approach, while others follow a specific textbook. Other sources offer multilinear algebra content as well. These videos can serve as a helpful companion to textbooks and lectures for those looking for additional resources.

I just can't watch Prof. Gilbert Strang on MIT. His stuttering and slow pace is just too much for me. Is there another series on the typical first course in Linear Algebra available in video form that I can casually watch as a companion to my textbook and lecture?

Yes, I found him difficult to watch, as well. sponsoredwalk has given some interesting links (although I think the NPTEL course is half complex analysis).

The UCCS video is on this page, along with some other more introductory ones (you have to sign up to download):

The 413 one he linked to follows the Friedberg textbook.


Ted Chinberg at UPenn also has Linear Algebra videos that follow Strang's applied textbook:

Yes, there are many other video series on linear algebra available online. Some popular options include Khan Academy, 3Blue1Brown, and PatrickJMT on YouTube. These series may have a different teaching style and pace that may better suit your learning preferences. Additionally, many universities and online learning platforms offer courses on linear algebra with video lectures from different professors. It may be helpful to do some research and find a series that aligns with your learning style.
 

Related to Is there a good linear algebra video series (Besides MIT)?

1. What is the best resource for learning linear algebra?

Aside from MIT, there are many other good resources for learning linear algebra, including Khan Academy, Coursera, and EdX. It ultimately depends on your learning style and preferences.

2. Are there any free video series for learning linear algebra?

Yes, there are several free video series available on platforms like YouTube and Coursera. Some popular ones include 3Blue1Brown's "Essence of Linear Algebra" and Gilbert Strang's "Linear Algebra" course on MIT OpenCourseWare.

3. How do I know if a linear algebra video series is good?

A good linear algebra video series should have clear and concise explanations, visual aids such as diagrams and animations, and a logical progression of topics. It should also have good reviews and ratings from other learners.

4. Can a video series replace a traditional linear algebra textbook?

A video series can be a great supplement to a traditional textbook, but it may not be able to replace it entirely. A textbook provides more in-depth explanations and practice problems, while a video series may be more helpful for visual learners.

5. How long does it take to complete a linear algebra video series?

The length of time it takes to complete a linear algebra video series depends on the length of the series and your own pace of learning. Some video series may take a few hours to complete, while others may take weeks or months. It is important to go at your own pace and not rush through the material.
