Does Gilbert Strang still teach?

After nearly 60 years of teaching at MIT, this math professor surpasses 10 million views on OCW, earns top reviews for his teaching style, and publishes his 12th book.

Where can I learn differential equations?

Differential Equation Courses and Certifications MIT offers an introductory course in differential equations. You’ll learn to solve first-order equations, autonomous equations, and nonlinear differential equations. You’ll apply this knowledge using things like wave equations and other numerical methods.

Should I take linear algebra or differential equations first?

Take linear algebra first. When you then take the course on ordinary differential equations (ODEs) you will eventually encounter systems of ordinary differential equations and what you had learned about linear algebra will be very useful to you.

Is differential equations linear algebra?

Differential equations and linear algebra. Differential equations are both challenging objects at a mathematical level and crucial in many ways for engineers. In addition, linear algebra methods are an essential part of the methodology commonly used in order to solve systems of differential equations.

Is Matrix orthogonal?

A square matrix with real numbers or elements is said to be an orthogonal matrix, if its transpose is equal to its inverse matrix. Or we can say, when the product of a square matrix and its transpose gives an identity matrix, then the square matrix is known as an orthogonal matrix.

Is differential equations easy to learn?

The study of differential equations, if it is packaged with the combination “Introductory Differential Equations and Linear Algebra” course, is very easy.

What to know before taking differential equations?
