Gil Strang: Linear Algebra and Deep Learning
Manage episode 374528837 series 2975159
In episode 86 of The Gradient Podcast, Daniel Bashir speaks to Professor Gil Strang.
Professor Strang is one of the world’s foremost mathematics educators and a mathematician with contributions to finite element theory, the calculus of variations, wavelet analysis, and linear algebra. He has spent six decades teaching mathematics at MIT, where he was the MathWorks Professor of Mathematics. He was among the first MIT faculty members to publish a course on MIT’s OpenCourseware and has since championed both linear algebra education and open courseware.
