Are Random Triangles Acute or Obtuse?
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted
CC BY-NC-SA
Rating
0.0 stars

This learning video deals with a question of geometrical probability. A key idea presented is the fact that a linear equation in three dimensions produces a plane. The video focuses on random triangles that are defined by their three respective angles. These angles are chosen randomly subject to a constraint that they must sum to 180 degrees. An example of the types of in-class activities for between segments of the video is: Ask six students for numbers and make those numbers the coordinates x,y of three points. Then have the class try to figure out how to decide if the triangle with those corners is acute or obtuse.

The Quadratic Equation: It’s Hip to Be Squared
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted
CC BY-NC-SA
Rating
0.0 stars

This lesson aims to help students with quadratic functions y = ax2 + bx + c. This is the next step after linear functions bx + c. The lesson begins with three quadratics and their graphs (three parabolas): y = x2 - 2x + (0 or 1 or 2). The prerequisite or co-requisite is some working experience with algebra, like factoring x2 -2x into x(x-2). The objective is to connect four things: the formula for y, the graph of y (a parabola), the roots of y and the minimum or maximum of y. The particular example y = x2 – 2x could be repeated by the teacher, for emphasis. The lesson will take more than one class period (and this is deserved!). The breaks allow time to consider parabolas starting with -x2 and opening downward. A physical path would be one (dangerous?) activity.

This collection of videos presents Professor Strang’s updated vision of how linear algebra could be taught.
It starts with six brief videos, recorded in 2020, containing many ideas and suggestions about the recommended order of topics in teaching and learning linear algebra. Topics include A New Way to Start Linear Algebra, The Column Space of a Matrix, The Big Picture of Linear Algebra, Orthogonal Vectors, Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors, and Singular Values and Singular Vectors.
An additional brief video, recorded in 2021, Finding the Nullspace: Solving Ax = 0 by Elimination, computes the nullspace of any matrix A.
In 2023, Professor Strang recorded a new one-hour video, Five Factorizations of a Matrix, providing an overall look at linear algebra by highlighting five different ways that a matrix gets factored.

Wavelets are localized basis functions, good for representing short-time events. The coefficients at each scale are filtered and subsampled to give coefficients at the next scale. This is Mallat’s pyramid algorithm for multiresolution, connecting wavelets to filter banks. Wavelets and multiscale algorithms for compression and signal/image processing are developed. Subject is project-based for engineering and scientific applications.
