Gilbert Strang got me through linear algebra in University. Fifteen or so years later, I told my wife who went back to school as an older adult about him. He got her through, too. His teaching capability is so great, we ended up buying his textbook and using that instead of the one assigned by her college. My wife ended up with the best grades in the class, but not only that, ended up actually learning the material and retaining it many years later. Her field is in no way related to mathematics, but it would not be an exaggeration to say that she benefited greatly from her maths exposure. Linear algebra, heck yeah! Thank you, Dr. Strang.
