The introductory video is absolutely right. I studied linear algebra at university but it's been only recently when I decided to re-learn it that I have finally got it, and for that understanding the geometry behind linear algebra is crucial. Now I find myself thinking about problems in terms of matrices and vectors and making all sorts of deductions, even writing mathematical proofs, which I never thought I would.

#12Wow thanks for posting this link. I was wondering does anyone know more channels (or any other resource) just like this one, for Statistics and Calculus?
This is an amazing teacher, great channel for learning calculus: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoHhuummRZaIVX7bD4t2czg

#13These explainations are fantastic! Does anyone know of a literature class that examines different technical explainations and analyses why they are successful and where they fail?
So one thing I just noticed: in Video 4 (Matrix Multiplication) when he shifts from just showing geometry to a walkthrough of the numerical operations he begins tracing the paths of i-hat and j-hat. This continues to keep the explanation concrete. In fact, it is almost as if he is a programmer debugging a set of functions and walking the path of a piece of data from through one function call to another.

#15I like how the intro music of each video relaxes me into the subject.
Re: The Essence of Linear Algebra [video]
#16i wish there were videos about matrix factorization methods.

Check out Mooculus series on YouTube

#193Blue1Brown explanation of eigenvectors and eigenvalues is very insightful and intuitive [1]. One of my favorite videos from his channel is "Who cares about topology? (Inscribed rectangle problem)" [2]. They way a Torus and Möbius Strip come up as solution to the problem is so elegant.

There's a new topology video out! As cool as the first one!
