Linear Alebgra - Part 1 - Vectors and Linear Combinations

Will give guidance on how to listen to this podcast and what episodes to start on given your math background. Also will do a crash course in pre-calculus math needed for any episode.

Let's see how change of variable or u-substitution can be done to a simple integral problem. Change of variable is a powerful tool for simplifying harder integrals, but this episode will be for intro to change of variable. Will do a follow-up episode using change of variable to simplify a more diff…

Let's do a rocket science problem! Will calculate accumulated velocity of a rocket from takeoff and include the rocket changing mass due to fuel burning. Will use change of variable to solve things. As always, will focus on finding deeper meanings!

Will share my favorite way to understand exponential growth and how this reveals the importance of Euler's number "e". And discuss how e^x and natural log functions are two sides of the same coin.
