Something not touched on in the video or description but I think is worthwhile.
The greatest failing in my math education is that it didn't give me the "keys to the kingdom" in other words, it didn't teach me how to conceptualize problems and really dig into literature to further my understanding on topics as they come up.
Contrast that with my signal processing courses, which were very much focused on concepts, conventions, notation, and best practice to provide a ground work for future study.
And working in the signal processing field, it was easy for me to dig into literature as I researched problems up until my math skills failed and I had to teach myself a lot of what my grades showed I had learned in college. Linear algebra in particular.
So when I see something like a course that will teach me about orthagonality, linear systems, SVD and eigenvalues I want to back it. But only if it's the kind of content that will tell me what those things are and how to read about them and understand them, not more rote memorization of how to work a problem set.
Just my two cents.
