Distance Between Point and Plane

Finding the distance between a point and a plane means to find the shortest distance between the point and the plane. This is made difficult due to the fact that we don't know the point on the plane that is closest to the point in space. It turns out we can compute this distance using a projection vector, which we discuss.

Just joining the crowd. You make it sensible and obvious. I shopped 6 other YouTube videos. It helps you don't constantly restate what you're writing.

Man you're simply the best. Here i am in a one man standing ovation for such brilliant, concise and clear lecture. Your effort is not in vain, please don't stop making videos.

[martinibomb]

Dude your so concise and you always explain why shit works it's beautiful and so helpful, I love ur lectures

[abu_staif]

My only complaint is that I did not find this video sooner!!!!

[Farreach]

thank you so much man ..your a life saver for my linear algebra class

[jdlopez]

this is the best video I found... but, I have a suggestion. So far we've seen vectors projected that start from the origin. PQ does not start from the origin and that creates a bit of confusion. It would nice if you could explain that P-Q is actually the vector from the origin, and then just proceed with the projection calculation as usual. That tiny step made a mile difference in my understanding.

Thanks for such simple and clear explanation !!!!😀

I rewatched several of your videos now preparing for a test, this one stands out as the best one to me. Make with that what you will :)

Wow. I am someone in Algebra 1 and I could at least follow along. Very well explained.

[cassidyo]

This is fantastic! My professor does no examples! Super clear!! Easy to understand! Thank you!!!

[fikret]

you are great i found this chanell by chance but i m sure i will not regret because of coincidence

[ajmalrashid]

Very clear and wonderful explanation. Very helpful.

[lukehatcher]

amazing explanation, best ive found on yt

[Yusuf-unmd]

you explained it so well. Thank you very much.

[srjit_]

Thank you, sir! Very clear explanation.

[gracenicola]

I appreciate this so so much I have watched so many videos on this and after watching yours I finally understand how simple this actually is! Thank you so very much!!

Another brilliant video! I wish I would have found you sooner, you have rescued Vector Analysis for me. Where have you been? Why do you only have 1000 or so subscribers and PewDiePie has 4 million? What does this mean for western civilization? Why, why, why!

[shudidesai]

This was awesome. How would you do distance from a plane to a plane?

[nunu.g]

thankyou sir, that was very precise. '

[himeshdrox]

awesome lecture really appreciate your effort!
