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

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

Several alternative video series for learning Linear Algebra are recommended for those who find Prof. Gilbert Strang's MIT lectures challenging. Notable resources include introductory courses from Najah University and ICTP, a theoretical approach from NPTEL, and a more advanced series from UCCS. Additionally, Ted Chinberg's videos at UPenn align with Strang's applied textbook. These resources provide a range of perspectives and teaching styles suitable for various learning preferences.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of Linear Algebra concepts
  • Familiarity with online video learning platforms
  • Access to a Linear Algebra textbook for reference
  • Ability to navigate educational websites for course materials
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore the Najah University Linear Algebra course
  • Review the ICTP diploma course on Linear Algebra
  • Investigate the NPTEL course for a theoretical perspective
  • Check out Ted Chinberg's Linear Algebra videos at UPenn
USEFUL FOR

Students and self-learners seeking alternative resources for understanding Linear Algebra, educators looking for supplementary materials, and anyone interested in diverse teaching methodologies in mathematics.

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?

Here is an introductory course on linear algebra:

Here is another introductory course on linear algebra:

Here is a more theoretical approach to the material:

Here is the most theoretical approach to the material:

Here is some multilinear algebra:

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):

http://www.uccs.edu/~math/vidarchive.html

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:

Thanks for the references! I will be sure to check them all out!
