On the recommendation of Siraj Raval I started watching a free, online, 34-lecture Linear Algebra course, courtesy of the prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). At the time, I honestly had never heard of Gilbert Strang before; I thought it was a big deal to take any MIT course for free.

After I blogged about it (https://agentanakinai.wordpress.com/2019/04/01/linear-algebra/), I was shocked by the response.

Across social media, I have seen a few people acknowledge that MIT is a big deal. But, I am absolutely astounded by how many people are directly praising Professor Strang. I’ve honestly never seen or heard such a response before.

In comparison, I don’t even remember the names of any of my previous professors. I remember the names of two high school teachers, but that’s it.

Therefore, I hereby update my recommendation with three reasons to watch this course:

1. I’m personally watching it; I have watched the first 5 lectures so far

2. Gilbert Strang is one of the most respected university professors that I am currently aware of

3. It’s a complete MIT course for free; it would be a waste of educational value to not take it
