10/7 - Daily Illini (IL)
I just posted on my Facebook to 449 friends that I was going to MIT on my iPod with your website link. I
showed our IT director yesterday and we had an hour discussion on escape velocities. I have a two hours
total that I commute to and from work everyday. Plus I can listen to my iPod at work most of the time. I
already have a degree from Southern Utah University (On the nineteen year plan in not exactly the degree I
would like). I wish I could just go to school at MIT full time but I have four children and a mortgage so this
will work. MIT is the best and would be my choice If I could go anywhere.

Thank you so much for making these lectures available to the general public! I'm going back to school for a
Ph.D. in Mathematics after a couple of decades of teaching high school math. I'm in the graduate level Linear
Algebra course and was really struggling with the theory because it's been 30 years since I took the Intro to
Linear Algebra class. These video lectures have been a tremendous help to me this semester. I love Dr.
Strang's easy-going explanations. His delivery alone has greatly reduced my anxiety level about this very
challenging goal I've set for myself.

the course content will be valuable for my students toguide them till the end of the course. Furthermore, it
will be an outstanding reference thru out their study
