The video discusses the complexity of understanding multi-dimensional spaces, comparing calculus and linear algebra. It highlights the historical context of these subjects, noting that calculus was developed earlier by Newton and Leibniz. The speaker argues that linear algebra, being simpler due to its focus on flat surfaces, should be taught before calculus. The educational sequence in schools typically prioritizes calculus, but the speaker suggests linear algebra's simplicity makes it a better starting point. The video also explores the concept of dimensionality in linear algebra, emphasizing its ability to handle multiple dimensions without complexity.
