The Geometry of Linear Equations
Widely cited across Hacker News and math forums as the single clearest opening lecture in undergraduate mathematics: reframes systems of equations as linear combinations of column vectors within 15 minutes.
Professor Strang introduces the fundamental problem of linear algebra—solving Ax = b—through three complementary lenses: row pictures, column pictures, and matrix transformations.
