Gilbert Strang

going to see @__paleologo talk at MIT today. maybe I can finally become a quant. GS

went to MIT career fair today, all the quant shops threw away my resume. citadel seems orthogonal to my post-teaching plans. GS

@__paleologo @kchonyc just wait for my 7th edition…

Link of the day (+comment): "Linear Algebra for Data Science" by Wanmo Kang and @kchonyc, pdf online here: kyunghyuncho.me/linear-algebra… Now for the comment: this is uncannily all and only the linear algebra you you would need to read my upcoming book: projections first, then SVD, then eigenstuff, then posdev matrices. With examples and geometric intuition. It's like a better Strang book. There is no random matrix material unfortunately or randomized linear algebra, but in exchange you get focus and compactness. It should be relabeled "Linear Algebra for Data Science and Finance too".

wow did anyone else feel that!

congratulations @brainpop on an amazing 25 years! thanks for letting me your linear algebra syllabus

feeling like one of Karl Pearson’s crabs today…mixture models mmph GS

HAPPY COMMENCEMENT I LOVE NFT DIPLOMAS! GS

Even @USATODAY is joining our standing ovation to MIT's Prof. Gilbert Strang! Prof. Strang recently delivered his final lecture on #LinearAlgebra. Learn more about his impact as an educator in the MIT classroom and online: bit.ly/3qbWKqV. @MITMath #onlinelearning 👏

People say I look like an eigenvalue when I walk. GS

Last lecture happening now!!! GS

@MITOCW @MITMath Square matrices are great! GS

Join Prof. Gil Strang LIVE as he teaches his last lecture before his retirement. Be there or be square->Watch live on our YouTube channel May 15th, 11am EDT. bit.ly/3ppgQ0y @MITMath

What is the best textbook you’ve ever read?

@MITMath Looking forward to my last batch of 18.06 students! Very excited. GS

Prof. Gil Strang's last lecture is ... Monday! Watch it via live stream: grinfeld.org/strang/

Just got 80/80 on Optiver's mental math test! GS

ChatGPT is amazing! With only a few words, I can write an entire letter of recommendation. GS

For those wondering where I was during last week’s fire alarm, I went to the nullspace of 26-100. GS

Positive definite symmetric matrices are the kings of linear algebra. GS

Life is good when we are dealing with symmetric matrices. GS

We should have eliminated that multivariable prerequisite for 18.06. 18.06 is a prerequisite for a happy life. GS

Determinants are absolute(ly) bars! GS.
