Introductory Calculus: Oxford Mathematics 1st Year Student Lecture

In our latest student lecture we would like to give you a taste of the Oxford Mathematics Student experience as it begins in its very first week. In this first lecture in the Introductory Calculus course Dan Ciubotaru summarises how the course works and what we expect the new students to already
know in order to ensure all of them are prepared for the more complex work ahead.

All first and second year lectures are followed by tutorials where students meet their tutor to go through the lecture and associated problem sheet and to talk and think more about the maths. Third and fourth year lectures are followed by classes.

I'm not even in this class and I'm already stressed

Dad: What have you learned today?

Me: My lecturer’s name is Dan.

[Arjun-myzp]

Well....He pretty much covered almost all of my high school calculus in just the first introductory lecture. You can only imagine how harder things get from here.

Whenever I can’t sleep I pull this video up and without fail it lulls me right to bed. Thanks!

[Sasuke..Uchiha..]

Oxford: So, How many boards do you want?

Teacher: Yes.

[berylpena]

these asmr go to sleep videos are getting really advanced nowadays

One of the few things I like in these modern times is the fact that everybody who can afford an internet bill can follow the lessons of the greatest universities in the world. Not too along time ago only the best and the richest guys and girls in the world could have this priviledge. You will not have a piece of paper with "Oxford Universitiy" written on top of it, but the knowledge is inside of you, and this is just priceless, no matter if you live in Bel Air, Cheliabinsk, Soweto or in a San Paolo Favela (just to name a few, no hate, please). Internet is not just naked girls and music videos, after all.

I can recall my engineering 1st year when I learned calculus by watching Indian videos and reading Das & Mukherjee's books. I scored grade-A in calculus.😀

Me: *doesnt like mathematics*
Youtube: *do you want to see Oxford Mathematics lecturer?*
Me: *well yes but why*

[AyushiSingh-yqiy]

Imagine walking in 8 mins late and trying to figure out which board to start copying down the notes from 💀

[blessedowo]

3:10 Book
4:40 Ordinary and Partial Differential Equations
5:42 Line and Double Integrals (Arc Lengths of curves, areas of various surfaces)
6:20 Calculus of functions in 2 variables

[Yuki-kdht]

This lecture was incredibly interesting!
I understood so many things like : why I am never gonna be a genius and stuff like that 😄

[thecrowvideos]

Me: failed high school algebra

Youtube: let’s get some Oxford calculus in your life

[TheAustrianAnimations]

Well, I'd actually gladly listen to this professor for hours if I didn't have to write any exams.

[summerr]

Man this is interesting. The fact that numbers can be used in so many different ways is just amazing to me.

[timo-sens]

when he said “alright” after his joke when no one laughed, i felt that

[farhanandrabi]

Fun note: I did not search for this.
YouTube recommended it to me.

[saadshaikh]

I wish i had a teacher like him. He explained the integration by parts so nicely

[strixxx]

just finished my calc 2 and this one is briefly a revision for me, thank Professor.

Gonna tell my kids once I attended an Oxford lecture
