Lecture 12

There were so few people in class at the beginning of the lecture that I was starting to wonder if I should start the class at all... Eventually I did, of course, and slowly but surely people started trickle in. While I was preparing for this projection lecture, I was really not satisfied with how the text arbitrarily define what a projection is and then go on to prove things about it. So I went the other way and defined orthogonal complement first, then tell them results about orthogonal complements which naturally led to the definition of the projection. I thought that was pretty clever, but apparently I wasn't good with the presentation so the reaction had been minimal...heh. Oh well, need to prepare better next class.

I really should ask for feedback on my lecturing style soon... I'm still not sure if I'm doing ok.

I'm living on the edge...I never know what I'm going to teach the next class!
