Yeah no. You made a false assumption, then somehow linked some other piece of knowledge to it wrongly. Now that's saved in your brain. You can actually describe vectors in mathematics quite easily. It's just like a length, but with a direction. Literally, the arrow. If you translate something from point(0,0,0) with vector[1,2,3], you moved it right 1, up 2, and then lifted it up 3 'units of something'. Matrix multiplication is something else entirely. Usually - in the context of vectors - they are used to transform these vectors. For example, some kind of matrix could basically 'represent' a conversion between some sensor values and speed of an object in multiple dimensions. I think what you wanted to represent with balance sheets and income statements is not vector and matrix, but point and vector. A point is a spot in a space - be it physical, financial, or whatever. So, a balance sheet, 'you have 10 million dollars on day x'. A vector is a "translation" in this case -> an income statement. "In the last year, you made 3 million" - so now, you have 10+3=13 millions. To deal with multidimensionality here: You have 3 accounts, (3,4,5), the first one has 3 million, second 4 and so on. your income statement is [2,3,4] - account 1 had a profit of 2 million, and so on. So, (3,4,5)+[2,3,4]=(5,7,9)
wow thank you. you should be making videos rather than me. what do you do for work? Your explanation makes a ton more sense. Maybe the real way to learn something is to make a video trying to explain it and revise your understanding through smart people in the comments lol. This will probably be the general strategy that the big multimodal models of the future use to conduct personal education. also in the last paragraph i assume you mean income statement instead of “balance sheet.” If so then your explanation makes a lot of sense.
@@maxdepthpodcast Yes, I did mean income statement :) I fixed it. Also an embarrassing lack of ability to do 1 digit addition was now erased from history. I am an electrical engineer with a master's degree working at a university as a researcher, though I do help some profs out sometimes. I've heard this 'you can explain things very well' many times; but it has some downsides. I have lots of interests, I know a lot of things, so I can use knowledge b that the person I'm trying to teach knows in order to make knowledge point a more accessible. BUT: 1) This more or less has to be done 1-to-1, or with a small group; if there's a group of 10+ people, someone's bound not to understand my analogies. 2) This has its limits - in teaching in the way that at some point, the similarities end and things just get complex, and if you're used to things being easily understandable, that's a hard jump that most people are not going to make (which is why usually uni profs teach simple stuff in a way that's 'too complex' - to prepare your mind for the actually complex stuff), and because I am exactly that way internally, I am not too knowledgable in extreme depth in any one topic. I am a 'Jack of all Trades' and I strive to be, that's the niche I try to fill; and I see that it's needed, but it's quite hard to do things like switch jobs because usually most companies are not looking for 'some electrical engineer that can code, but not as well as a specialized computer scientist, make pcbs, but not as well as someone specialized, make control systems, math, physics, ...' the list goes on. It's my greatest strength, but also my greatest weakness, and mostly caused by my strong desire to learn and lots of initial motivation coupled with me quickly being bored of things.
Love your approach. A french prof of mine did this with the french language, and then a logical diagram for the grammar, it helped me A LOT as a dyslexic to have a diagramm to follow, and to learn & remember. I would love to see your video going further and more in to the rabbit hole of a subject, with a final diagram as a result so we could learn with you too at the end of the rabbit hole :)

Ok do this with react hooks, and props. And Vue Components.
I'm someone who knows vectors quite well. This video made me interested in balance sheets and income statements 😂

Interesting video but please stop looking up and left just look at the camera
