My Math Professor is Good Friends with Prof. Oak

Here’s a link from the lecture notes he posted on Linear Transformations.

His class is pretty awesome. It’s basically like a guy in a pony-tail making jokes the whole class, but I’ve really learned a lot too.

In explaining how Logical OR works:
(A statement “A OR B” is true if A, B, or both A or B are true.)
“A classic example of this in literature would be: ‘Tell me the location of the Rebel base or I will blow up Alderaan.’” (She tells him where the rebel base is; he still blows up Alderaan.)
“This is why you should never trust logicians with planet destroying battle stations.”

amazing. that would have helped my intro to logic class heaps. they did not grasp the whole “v” thing for a while. They all wanted it to be a mutually exclusive.
