MIT 18.06 Linear Algebra course

Lecture 1

We learn about the big picture behind multiplication of matrix and vector

we learn about the row picture and column picture

Lecture 2

we learned about elimination method to solve a system of equations

Lecture 3

in this lecture we learned about matrices multiplication:

we can do that in five ways:

  1. row * col ==> gives an entry (1 cell)
  2. col _ row ==> sum ( r1 _ c1 , r2 * c2, etc)
  3. by columns ==> A * c1 = combination of A columns
  4. by columns ==> r1 * B = combination of A B rows
  5. by blocks ==> A (A1,A2,A3,A4) _ B (B1,B2,B3,B4) = C1 = (A1_ B1 + A2 * B3) and so on

then we learned about gausian-Jordan elimination to find the matrix inverse
