Once again I am confronting my life after Leo. This time I have a clear plan. I shall study engineering math under the long-distance direction of Prof. Steve Brunton <https://www.me.washington.edu/facultyfinder/steve-brunton> at the "other" UW, the University of Washington. In other words, I'll study his YouTube videos and his outstanding online course, Data Driven Science <http://databookuw.com/>.
I started with a superb introductory video: Differential Equations Overview <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fQkLQZe3u8&list=PLMrJAkhIeNNTYaOnVI3QpH7jgULnAmvPA>. The first 10 minutes: - Explain the place of differential equations (diff-eqs) in engineering mathematics. - Reveal the intimate connection between diff-eqs and linear algebra. - Explain how eigenvectors help solve systems of diff-eqs. - Show why mathematics from 200-300 years ago helps develop intuition that is relevant today. Brunton assumes only that the viewer: has taken a course in calculus and is bright and motivated. Specifically, Brunton does *not* assume the viewer remembers much calculus. The series contains refresher lectures for *everything* the viewer needs to know! Any motivated viewer will finish this video *confident* they can master this corner of engineering mathematics! *Summary* I no longer fear finishing Leo. My next project is to study *all* of Brunton's videos, starting with the differential equations. Edward P.S. Brunton's online course uses Jupyter Notebooks for exercises. Following his course may suggest new features for Leo. EKR -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
