After being with MIT for almost 66 years, at the age of 88, the legendary Prof. Strang had today his last Linear Algebra Lecture.
Thank you for the great service you have done to the math community and thank you, for making me and many other math enthusiasts, enjoy so much this topic! To this day, I remember vividly the time when I found your lectures. It was ~2006 and MIT OpenCourseWare was still in its infancy⦠I remember being stuck in front of my computer for hours enjoying your lectures! My life has never been the same since then
In the end,
the whole of life is a continuous act of letting goβ¦
but this time,
I got the chance to say goodbye.
I've got 3.5 years to master the piano like a pro. π
It's never going to happen, but I can still try.
Silence⦠there is so much silence around me tonight, and nobody is here to feel it, to scent it, to hear it.
Apart from you, strangerβ¦
(I do not crush the crown of this worldβs wonders)
