“Teaching has been a wonderful life,” says Linear Algebra champion and retiring math prof Gil Strang, who has spent 75% of his 88 years at MIT. @ScienceMIT news.mit.edu/2023/gilbert-s…
@MITMath @corless_rob @ScienceMIT An incredible teacher and an even better human being.
@MITMath @ScienceMIT You could say that he didn’t change basis.
@MITMath @Blues76 @ScienceMIT Best linear algebra book I ever used.
@MITMath @ScienceMIT He did make Linear Algebra fun and easy to understand.
@MITMath @ScienceMIT Linear Algebra was fun well before Strang.
@MITMath @ScienceMIT I used his book at UC Davis in 1978.
@MITMath @ScienceMIT I’m taking his course right now online as a review of some things and it’s awesome
@MITMath @ScienceMIT One guy whose lectures are a joy to me is Patrick Henry Winston. Tbh it’s almost soothing.
@MITMath @stevenstrogatz @ScienceMIT Wonderful teacher and author for the benefit of a global community of teachers and students.
@MITMath @ScienceMIT Best teacher, a legendary guide in one’s voyage of discovery of mathematics, his videos are timeless treasure, so long as there are math subjects his videos teach… May he retire in highest honor and most satisfied
@MITMath @ScienceMIT Too bad you have to be rich or powerful in the US to access his knowedge. If you're poor you're screwed.
@MITMath @ScienceMIT His linear algebra teaching book has been one of a kind.
@MITMath @BenedictKonso @ScienceMIT Thank you sir for everything... I've watched calculus and linear algebra through MIT's open classes. What's a joy and interesting classes were. I' ve benefited a lot and your knowledge has impacted on me. I wish you a trumendous rest. Thank you again.
@MITMath @ScienceMIT He is a very good teacher. His teaching style is awesome 😎
@MITMath @ScienceMIT Thank you for your YouTube videos.A privilege to start in your lectures of Algebra's prime time.
@MITMath @ScienceMIT Thank you so much for your extraordinary work and wish you a very happy retirement Sir!
@MITMath @SeamusBlackley @ScienceMIT Much respect and awe! But, Math, ugh.
@MITMath @ScienceMIT An incredible career and service to those beyond MIT as well.
@MITMath @ScienceMIT For the ones that too lazy to do the math, prof Strang spent 66 years at MIT. :-) I watched his last teaching and I was really amazed by his clear thinking and lucid talking at his age.
@MITMath @ScienceMIT Sharing knowledge is the best happiness
@MITMath @ScienceMIT Utmost respect for his awe-inspiring work and for being such a brilliant teacher. God bless Prof Gilbert Strang.
@MITMath @stevenstrogatz @ScienceMIT Linear Algebra was the toughest for me. The order of operation never flowed for my brain unlike differential equations or calculus. Congratulations on a life of accomplishment and shaping future generations!🍾
