You can't hide secrets from the future with math, but I try.

We need more walkable, mixed-use datacenters. Like community gardens, people should be able to experience the joy and satisfaction of cultivating their own hardware. Big Cloud has alienated the connection people felt with their computers. Kids should know what it's like to swear at rack mount rails.

linear algebra legend gilbert strang just taught his last lecture at MIT he is also the author of the best acknowledgments section in a math textbook ever

This is my 9th textbook on linear algebra, and I hesitate to write about myself. It is the mathematics that is important, and the reader. The next paragraphs add something brief and personal, as a way to say that textbooks are written by people. I was born in Chicago and went to school in Washington and Cincinnati and St. Louis. My college was MIT (and my linear algebra course was extremely abstract). After that came Oxford and UCLA, then back to MIT for a very long time. I don’t know how many thousands of students have taken 18.06 (more than 6 million when you include the videos on ocw.mit.edu). The time for a fresh approach was right, because this fantastic subject was only revealed to math majors—we needed to open linear algebra to the world. I am so grateful for a life of teaching mathematics, more than I could possibly tell you. Gilbert Strang
