- fs100 7y agolooks like linear algebra
- idonotknowwhy 7y agoThanks, I'll hit youtube over the weekend
- WilliamEdward 7y agoi recommend this series https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNk_zzaMoSs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNk_zzaMoSs
- idonotknowwhy 7y agoThanks, I'll check it out. This is one of those things which I never knew I didn't know about.
- rohan_shah 7y agoGoes very well with your username.
- psv1 7y agoI would recommend 3blue1brown only if you've already covered the material in another way. It's a great way to get some new intuition about things, the videos can help something 'click' and are a pleasant watch with an obviously high production quality. I just don't think they are great for being your first exposure to a topic.
- _edo 7y agoChapter 21 in the attached pdf gives a brief overview. There's also a (very challenging, I would guess 150-300 hours time commitment) MIT course online: https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/mathematics/18-06sc-linear-algebra-fall-2011/ https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/mathematics/18-06sc-linear-algeb... But it has videos. I would focus on Chapter 21 in the pdf because it tells you exactly what you need for this application. And supplement it as needed.
- WilliamEdward 7y agoSome mathematics background would help. It is a book about quantitative economics after all.
- QuesnayJr 7y agoIt basically assumes you have at least one year's grad school level background in economics. It does give some overview, but probably not enough to learn it from the book alone.
- James_Henry 7y agoNo, this is advanced undergrad economics or at the most it is in the first year of grad school.
