Here's a potentially relevant post about unusually effective ways to structure a formal math class like LA: https://bentilly.blogspot.com/2009/09/teaching-linear-algebra.html https://bentilly.blogspot.com/2009/09/teaching-linear-algebr...
Could be a source of inspiration for how to structure things.
And here are some concrete suggestions for how to effectively study on one's own in the context of a class: https://bentilly.blogspot.com/2009/09/teaching-linear-algebra.html https://bentilly.blogspot.com/2009/09/teaching-linear-algebr...
- sebg 4y agoHi - thanks for sharing! I literally had the first link open in a tab this week :) The second link appears to be the same as the first. Was this your intention? The first link is great and it's had some interesting post feedback over the years => https://hn.algolia.com/?q=Teaching+linear+algebra https://hn.algolia.com/?q=Teaching+linear+algebra Really glad you shared it. Thanks!
- sn9 4y agoWhoops! Definitely a mistake on my part! Here was the intended second link: https://www.calnewport.com/blog/2008/11/25/case-study-how-i-got-the-highest-grade-in-my-discrete-math-class/ https://www.calnewport.com/blog/2008/11/25/case-study-how-i-...
- sebg 4y agoAwesome and very helpful! Though I've read a bunch of Cal's posts and books (I think about 3 or 4 of them), I hadn't run into that post. Think it's because it was dated before I started reading his thoughts. A query: would you be open to a (paid) chat? We seem to be on the same wave-length and I've love your thoughts on something I'm working on. I looked at your HN profile and didn't find an email so trying here :) You can reach me at my hn profile or sebgnotes [at ] gmail [ dot] com. Thanks!
