MIT Chalk Radio, Season 1
Speakers: Gilbert Strang, Sarah Hansen

*Description*
In this episode, we talk with Professor Gilbert Strang about humanizing the teaching and learning process in his courses about linear algebra and matrix methods in data analysis, signal processing, and machine learning.

*Episode Notes*

Mathematics Professor Gilbert Strang is one of MIT’s most revered instructors; his courses, especially the perennially popular linear algebra course 18.06, have received millions of visits on OpenCourseWare, and his lecture videos have won him a devoted following on YouTube as well. (A sample YouTube comment on one of his lectures: “This is not lecture, this is art.”) A few years ago, Professor Strang began teaching a new course (18.065) focusing on the application of mathematical matrices to deep learning and AI. This new course is very unlike a typical undergraduate math course. For one thing, there’s no final exam—in fact, there are no exams at all! Instead, Professor Strang asks each student to spend the semester developing a project that applies the techniques they’re studying to some topic or problem they personally find interesting. In this episode, we hear from Professor Strang about his efforts to humanize math teaching, the value of thinking through problems in real time during lectures—even if it means getting stuck and having to backtrack!—and the importance of staying continually conscious of your students.

I don't feel my main job is to grade them, my job is to teach them or learn with them, that is the most meaningful quote I've ever heard

Thanks for sharing this inspiring interview with someone so collaborative as Professor Gilbert Strang, one of the greatest algebraists alive today (Prof. Steven Brunton, 2014) 🙏

MIT ppl should be able to make the tape in the cassette disappear in line with the podcast’s length.
As a person who grew up with cassettes I think many ppl would appreciate this detail!
Thnx for this valuable conversation Sarah! 🙏🏻

Just remeber 8 years ago, I learn linear algebra from Prof Gilber Strang on OCW. I got really great grade in my collage exam. The course is very very clear and now I think maybe I should make up to learn more from Prof Strang!

I'd love to hear professor Guttag's story on how he, professor Grimson and professor Bell started developing their edX courses on computer science. Very fun MOOCs!

why you do not refresh your online lectures, i mean their quality, to replace them with new ones that is 720p resolution videos!

Hey admin, I am trying to find lectures on the course 16.00 but I am not able to find it. I figured out that there are no lectures on 16.00. I would like to know when will you guys upload lectures of the same.😊🤗

So using the Socratic method being used successfully is a surprise somehow?
