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

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the challenges some viewers face when watching Prof. Gilbert Strang's Linear Algebra lectures due to his stuttering and slow pace. Participants share alternative video resources for learning Linear Algebra that can complement textbooks and lectures. Suggested courses include introductory series from Najah University and ICTP, a more theoretical approach from NPTEL, and a course following the Friedberg textbook from UCCS. Additionally, videos by Ted Chinberg from UPenn that align with Strang's applied textbook are recommended. Overall, the thread provides various options for those seeking different teaching styles in Linear Algebra.

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):

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!
 
The book is fascinating. If your education includes a typical math degree curriculum, with Lebesgue integration, functional analysis, etc, it teaches QFT with only a passing acquaintance of ordinary QM you would get at HS. However, I would read Lenny Susskind's book on QM first. Purchased a copy straight away, but it will not arrive until the end of December; however, Scribd has a PDF I am now studying. The first part introduces distribution theory (and other related concepts), which...
I've gone through the Standard turbulence textbooks such as Pope's Turbulent Flows and Wilcox' Turbulent modelling for CFD which mostly Covers RANS and the closure models. I want to jump more into DNS but most of the work i've been able to come across is too "practical" and not much explanation of the theory behind it. I wonder if there is a book that takes a theoretical approach to Turbulence starting from the full Navier Stokes Equations and developing from there, instead of jumping from...
