Youtube comments of Saltuk Buğra Çiftçi (@yorgunkaptaan).

  1. Thank you, Professor for your sincere intentions. This is the first course that I finished online and this content motivated me a lot to seek more. I believe you directed my path, Sir. Also, Thanks to the whole OCW family!

  2. 21:11 there is a subtitle error, he doesn't say anything about complex numbers. It could cause confusion for people who are deaf.

  3. I can't wait for those lectures. Please notice when 2034 comes out if I forgot :)

  5.  @theworkethic263 , you can start from lecture one directly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZK3O402wf1c&list=PL49CF3715CB9EF31D&index=1 Prof. describe the concept from first steps. Formaly, calculus1 is prerequisit, there are just 1 or 2 lessons about derivatives and they are unimportant for understanding "the whole picture"(I watched first 22 lectures btw, I dont know 23-34). Though, you should consider, why I need to learn Linear Algebra. If you want to learn university maths(proof based maths), I think Linear Algebra is not the best choice to start.

  6. Is there any way to watch Roshman legally? Youtube contents have banned. I cannot buy CD, I need an online free-cheap platform.

  8. That is really interseting one. Even to reach the image of a vector, mathematicians need to explore three different concepts consecutively. They were all about formalizing higher dimensions by algebra. Even though the method of defining things by fixing their properties(like x, y, z coordinates) was known since Descartes, It is hard to combine and link different mathematical ideas and make a concreate definition! According to Ian Stewarts(from his book named Taming Infinity), the roots of the vector concept came from Hamilton's ideas about quaternions, Grassman's hypercomplex numbers, and Gibbs's ideas about vectors. Then Gibbs wrote a book named Vector Analysis with an engineer. This formalization process is concluded by 60 years. If we seek the ideas much further back, we will ended up with Descartes. Nearly 250 years to define a vector!

  9. What? Is Papa Rudin at the same level with this book? I thought, "Baby" Rudin is a better choice. Papa Rudin is a grad. level book.

  10.  @greatsarmatae  then read our culture again. those fooled poors are our culture. türkiye's culture is not accumulated in rich/seculer intellectuals. their definitions of türkiye's culture is not down to earth. those poors have some dreams, and emotions comes from their past. they seek some charismatic leaders in this territory. are they fooled, are they delusional? are they need to give up their true identity and loll on some pseudo-democrat, pseudo-nationalist? I assumed you informed from media/TV to learn our culture, there is much more in books. our people is nothing close to our TV, fortunatly.

  12. There is a gap in this power theory. It is stated that struggle has multi-dimensions. One is from material difficulties, other is about our faith in the task. Our faith in that task decreases when we encounter material struggles. Laziness attacks us. Also there is another form of faith that comes from task's meaningless. If the task has a low meaning in it self (we can't attach the task to meaning in our life), then we do not want to continue. This faith is also increases our struggle. This shortage of meaning problems is the base case of struggle. We feel this struggle before all other material difficulties. Then the problem transforms into, how do we determine meaningful jobs or how do we make our jobs meaningful? This is the strong side of religion, it answers this question. If religion has a strong rational base, then our durability against material struggles increase.

  13. At least we can try. We cannot grasp all of the math, but tracing the trajectories of ideas is amazing! Unfortunately, we cannot trace it perfectly, even if we have infinite amout of time. Because the souls of these ideas are died with their explorers, we have got only texts which are passed to us. But who knows maybe when we are tracking on the blurry paths of old giants, we can find a new gem that no one ever realized! Because they know the blessed paths, their ways are worth investigating.

  14. I don't like that metaphor either. It is just too materialistic and irritating.

  15. F* of Hitler :D Newton was a kind man bro. He is humble as I read. What is the point that y dont like about him, just interested.

  16.  @sa.377  you don't understand anything about us, do you? I think you are looking at the mirror and seeing your unconscious mind.
