Multiple generations of scientists and engineers are forever indebted to Strang: He's been teaching for over six decades.

At first only MIT students were lucky to learn from him, but then, as his videos became available online, so did the rest of world.

I've yet to meet anyone working in AI, ML, data science, signal processing, etc. who hasn't watched at least some of Strang's lectures.

I've also met multiple people working in these/related fields for whom Linear Algebra 'clicked' only after watching Strang's lectures.

He deserves the collective applause and giant thank-yous he's getting.

I hope MIT names something after him.
