Rotate, stretch, then rotate. Best one sentence explanation of SVD. Amazing, wow. I love professor Strang.

[ozgegunaydin]

i am a big fan of Gilbert Strang he tells us very very very clearly and pure! Thnxs

[aiishg_]

He has true passion for teaching mathematics and that reflects in his videos. I have watche I don’t how many of his videos and it helped me a lot! What would have I done without his videos! 😅

I just ran into another YouTube video about linear algebra by one of Mr. Strang's pupils. I knew the name sounded familiar but it wasn't until just now that I realized he was the author of my linear algebra textbook in college (Linear Algebra and Its Applications). I really enjoyed his presentation of the subject and I think he really helped me appreciate it.

Gilbert Strang is being modest, he discovered the beautifully simple Strang decomposition which writes any matrix, A, as a product of the so-called column space of A and the reduced row echelon form of A.

Matrices aren't new, decompositions aren't new either, but it took Gil Strang to find that almost unbelievably simple relationship.

Lex, thanks for bringing interesting universals to the internet.

[sujitbasu]

He is a God of Linear Algebra Teaching. He changed my concepts on this subject.

[eriknovak]

I've always really enjoyed thinking of matrices through the Jordan decomposition, besides the SVD too

[APaleDot]

Ooh, a rare chance to correct a renowned professor for a small inconsequential math mistake! I've got to jump on this!
There are actually much _more_ than 10 ways to rotate an object in 10-dimensional space. Degrees of rotational freedom follow a combinatoric growth rate. So for instance, there are 6 ways to rotate in 4-dimensional space, 10 ways in 5-dimensional space, and so on...

Amazing, thanks profesor Strang
It's such a fundamental concept to everything ml and ai and still, it sound so banal

[Actanonverba]

Great Stuff! I love it the way he explains it.

[lupelicious]

I took a math course in art school, taught by an adjunct from UC Berkeley, where linear algebra concepts were taught to us. I failed horribly at math in high school but I felt like I "got" numbers after that experience.

[taeukham]

Gotta study singular value decomposition right now

[humblesoul]

After Guass, gil strang is linear algebra's promoter

@Lex Fridman
Hey, Lex. You should bring Dr Harold G. White on the podcast to talk about NASA's Advanced Propulsion Physics Laboratory. It may spark more interest in the field.

[aanchaldogra]

I genuinely feel 3blue1brown would be huge fan of you. He seems to be carrying your legacy forward with latest technologies of course.

[dirkmichaelis]

To me, the picture looks wrong or unusual, I am used to U being m x n and sigma being n x n. Sure, this is not a math class, however ...

[amonal]

4:19 - "up to ten dimensions you got 10 ways to turn". That is not true. You have N(N-1)/2 ways to turn in N dimensions.
