Strang in general, and these videos in particular, are strongly recommended every time self-teaching linear algebra comes up here. In 13 years on hacker news I think this is the first negative thing about Strang I have read. Can you expand on your criticism?

- Tainnor 7y agoNot OP. I don't have anything against Strang, I think his teaching is very good, but it's worth noting that his approach to the subject is very applied and not very general. This is totally fine if applications are what you're interested in but for somebody who wants to learn more about the theory and the underlying concepts, there are better resources.
- master_yoda_1 7y agoStrang course is too verbose and one does not need the whole course to do practical work. Linear algebra done right is the book you need if you want to apply in practice rather than just watching mit videos. https://www.amazon.com/Linear-Algebra-Right-Undergraduate-Mathematics/dp/3319307657/ref=asc_df_3319307657_nodl/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312152840806&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=4114625584809220351&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1014226&hvtargid=pla-684058077792&psc=1&tag=&ref=&adgrpid=61316181319&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvadid=312152840806&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=4114625584809220351&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1014226&hvtargid=pla-684058077792 https://www.amazon.com/Linear-Algebra-Right-Undergraduate-Ma...
