Linear Algebra II: Oxford Mathematics 1st Year Student Lecture - James Maynard

Our latest student lecture features the first lecture in the second term (1st Year) introductory course on Linear Algebra from leading Oxford Mathematician James Maynard.

We are making these lectures available to give an insight in to the student experience and how we teach. All first and second year lectures are followed by tutorials where students meet their tutor to go through the lecture and associated problem sheet and to talk and think more about the maths. Third and fourth year lectures are followed by classes.

I watched one video and now YouTube thinks I love Oxford maths

[raphabl]

All I learned today is:
- classes are monday and wednesday 10 - 11 am
- the boards move up and down
- he is left-handed

This young professor is one of the best mathematicians in the world and he won the Fields Medal in 2022🙂

I’m here only because I want to pretend like I’m smart and I understand this.

Well, the true math is, one year at Oxford can be actually two years: the first and the last.

People watching this be like
For reason- 20%
No reason- 30%
Just for board- 50%

it’s not even an hour but it feels like a whole semester

[mohh]

I’m still trying to figure out how the boards get cleaned

[ibrahimsylla]

I only understood that the board is moving up and down

edit: thanks for the 4, 9k likes in 1month :)

First second of class :
Maths Teacher : We're already running late.

This took me back to my University days when I studies mathematics. Algebra, is my favourite branch of the discipline, and I enjoyed this video very much. .

spoiler: you didn't search for this

Plot Twist: the professor himself doesn't know what was he talking about too

[Victor-ktqn]

20 years old. Flunked math all high school.
GOT seriously involved in learning math.
Turns out it's really not as hard as you'd imagine. It's just a lot of logical thinking and less just remembering formulas and stuff.
Knowing that would've really helped me earlier in life.

This time 45 years ago I was a maths student, and lectures were delivered in this way, but with blackboards. Nowadays, it's difficult to understand why the lecture material is not posted online, thus leaving the lecturer free to give explanations where necessary and to do problems. Most students can't listen, write and learn at the same time. Lecture time is time wasted that could be more valuably spent actually learning.

This video was made for everyone that suffer from insomnia. Watch this, then you're gonna be me.

When you blink at maths once 0:45- 45:39

[prateekkumar]

i had no idea that the fields medal winner was a professor in oxford! Looking forward to more lectures

[mushransiddiqui]

Um just here, reading through the comment section and liking each of the comments 😂

[sofiavalencia]

Im literally one of the must untalented people i have ever met when it comes to math. Im here just to make sure of that.
