    This MIT lecture series on Linear Algebra by Gilbert Strang is an outstanding resource. It distills complex topics, column space, orthogonality, eigenvalues, singular values, into clear, intuitive explanations that are both rigorous and approachable. The structure of the six part series makes advancing from basic to more advanced concepts seamless. Although lecture based and not a full course, it offers tremendous value and insight. Highly recommended to anyone seeking conceptual depth or a solid review in linear algebra.
  • Best summarization I have ever seen! Thank you very much for making this small but big insightful course accessible to us. Keep bringing those courses for us! I don't think there would be any else big duty you can do to humanity than making good knowledge accessible!
