Whats really amazing is how he learned to write backwards and back to front!

[jasonwright]

Good that its explained in words but I would like to see examples of equations and see how the equations differ

[CO]

Well, I actually like to explain it the other way around!

Algebra is the general thing and calculus is a branch of algebra.

Just like linear algebra is a branch of algebra.

Can you do a video on how you wrote that down?? Then we'll come back to the calculus stuff, because I can't concentrate on that right now.

[mailboxravi]

what is the name of technology he is using to write. ? ( if he is writing on normal glass, we are supposed to see backside of characters but its showing front of it, HOW? )

This guy is a true wizard!! What kind of magic was that?

[HeyKevinYT]

In calculus you deal with infinitesimals which are infinitely small values of change, aka doing math with infinity

[markjackson]

Algebra is (one of) the largest organ of Calculus.

[Semtex]

Scott LeMire Nope, the video is just mirrored in post production.

I like this video. It has a very good explanation.

[amknox]

are you writing back words? Trippy AF!

[gustavoturm]

This is a bit wrong: Calculus is the "mathematics of change" and it relies on analytical ideas. Calculus, as is usually taught in first courses is just algebra. There is a name for it: "Differential algebra", which accounts (also) for how functions are transformed when integrated or differentiated. What is given in calculus lectures is a very watered-down version of this and a very tiny bit of analytical ideas. The analytical part of calculus would be - for example - proving things with the axioms of real numbers.

Come for a math question be wondered by his writing skills

[CosmopolitanXMan]

Would be better if the explanation is provided with some examples.

[JustinGarfield]

Tell me why algebra 2 is taking me longer to learn than trig? It's so funny. Anway, thanks for the video

[goingmonotheist]

Can we say that calculus is the mathematical philosophy of thinking algebra?

[Sinnbad]

I must be dumb because I didn’t understand this explanation at all…

[payrimdwein]

What calculus is more abstract than Algebra?
So abstraction of calculus is more than abstraction of Algebra... Why they don't call it abstract calculus!

[xaqkhaudio]

omg is this why mathematicians have sloppy handwriting? they've been writing backwards all along?? SOLVED!

[csegrowth]

Calculus and trigonmetry are far easier than Algebra
