Math Help
 

Did you even run into a math problem and rack your brain how to solve it because you haven't done anything like that since you graduated mumble years ago? Or draw a complete blank because you didn't go that far?

Well Bunkie, cheer up because the professors at MIT are here to help. :)

Holy shit. This is so exciting.

Ingrate. :p:

crazy furriner

Now how am I going to concentrate on my work today, Bruce?

Maybe I'll just watch the first one.

Professor Strang's best of the day: Where was he last month when I had 8 dimensional planes in a 9 dimensional space, and
didn't realize the 9th column was the same as the 8th column and so it didn't add anything new ?

More importantly, where the heck were you when you had to struggle with something like that? Was it time for the extra-dimensional oil change on the DeLorean or something?

:D

Heh. I dated a math major for awhile in college (who is now a grad-level math professor at a major university known for its math & sciences programs.) He was definitely not a nerd, as one might expect--the nerds all go into tangible sciences like engineering and computers. Math majors are more like hyper-brilliant philosophy majors, with proportionally larger egos.

Did you notice the date on the video was 1999? That math is going to be all stale and what not. Numbers must have some sort of shelf life.

I'm sure that shit's all out of date and that's why they're giving it away now.
(I can't tell if I'm a kingpin or a kaiser)

They are not using New Decimal (with the 10th digit), because that wasn't invented until 2008.

Not to worry, Prof Strang will just add one more dimension to his matricies,
and go back in time to pick up whatever he needs for now and for the future.

IT IS! I used those videos to balance my check book, and it suddenly transformed into a 26 dimension checkbook.

That should be a boost to your retirement account.
