Understand Calculus in 10 Minutes

[ceckohere]

He's that type of teacher to still be giving examples four minutes after the bell

POV: You looked at the title of the video, You then looked at the length of the video, You then went straight to the comments

I took Calculus in High School. Got a D. Had to take it again first semester of college. Got a D. Had to take it again second semester. On my first day in class second semester, the TA asked me to meet him after class. He asked why I was having problems. I explained that I could do the math, but I didn't know what I was doing and why it was important. This led me to using the wrong rules on problems. He explained essentially what you show here, but only in about 5 minutes, since he knew I could do the math, but just had to understand the why. I never went back to class. Never cracked a book or studied. Just showed up for the tests. I got a B. Unlike the full professors I'd had in my previous classes, this TA knew how to teach. He simplified the subject matter in 5 minutes that two full professors couldn't teach me in a year. Nice job here.

Many years ago, I thought game development would require no math. Now, I'm having to learn calculus to put a blue and red circle around the planets for my space game.

3:14 he exactly said 3.14 at that point lol

The derivative of 21 is 0, that's why it's 10 minutes, he live in the fourth dimension guys don't blame him.

10 or 22 minutes, it doesn’t matter. This video is perfect. Down to the most minute details. Thank you.

It's actually a 10min video, you just have to watch it in 2x speed

I have always had the deepest curiosity, respect and love for Mathematics. I graduated college in 79 with BS in Accounting. I left off at basic Calculus with a C. That’s because I got lost at derivatives and limits. Very frustrating because back then, math didn’t wait for you to catch up. And admittedly I’m a 2-dimensional slow learner. But after I saw your video here at age 63, I GOT IT. Thank you so much. My curiosity continues to burn on the language of the Universe. I’ll be able to move on in Calculus and beyond, now that I’m retired. Thanks!

Thank you for this. I'm 79 yrs old. I took up through Trig in high school but have never known what was involved in Calculus. I understood what you were saying, I appreciate it. It's not scary at all. lol Never too late to learn.

[PunjiThePlayer]

I knew the comment section is gonna be gold just by seeing the video being 21 minutes

[benthepen]

You know you have too much time when you voluntarily choose to learn calculus

For those who got upset by the length of the video, he actually successfully explained it in around 10 mins. Somewhere around 11:57 he ended his explaination and followed with a second example. thats why its longer than it was said in the title.

People get intimidated by math. I know I did. I’m a professional engineer, graduating from UC Berkeley in the late 70’s, I had a very successful 40 yr career. I took 4 years of math in High School, it wasn’t pretty, I just couldn’t truly understand it. I took A2, Trig, Analytic Geometry, and 4 calculus classes in college. Many people, especially boys’ brains aren’t developed enough to fully grasp math. Plus they tend to be restless and don’t have the required patience (If this is you, don’t worry, you are very normal). So they start to doubt themselves and hate math because of it. It happened to me. However, once I got to college, I was ready to tackle it. Don’t get mad at math, get even… when you are ready. I graduated at 23 with an Engineering degree from Cal because I didn’t give up. You haven’t failed until you stop trying. Of Course I had to go to JC first, but you do what you have to, to achieve your dreams.

Nice work. I’ve dissed Calculus for 50 years after I got a D in it. Now I understand that I can calculate the slope of that unhappiness, if it could be quantified. I applaud this video. I was wrong, it’s not useless. My study habits were.

35 years ago I passed Calculus but it still hunt me today that I never understood the "why". I just plugged in numbers on formulas that allow me to pass the class but never knew why. This was extremely inspiring and I feel that if more people understand the "why" or the application of math there would be a lot less "I hate math" kind of people. For those of you whining that the video was more than 10 min you are just looking for the easy way out in life. That's why you are where you at!

[just_a_strange_traveler]

He used calculus to redefine 10 minutes as 21

I don't think my joke was funny, nor smart cuz I failed calc last year. Thanks for the likes tho😁

I'm a 9th grader here from India. Mathematics, physics, and astronomy are all very interesting to me. I will study harder to know more than anyone can at my level and make a significant contribution to the unanswered questions about the cosmos...
