Ex: 31:30 Find the equation of a sphere

Ex: 46:35 Show 2 vectors are parallel

Ex: 50:10 vector operations

Ex: 58:40 Find a position vector given 2 points

Ex: 1:00:34 Find a unit vector

Ex: 1:05:46 Find a *v* with a specific magnitude and the same direction as another vector

About to take calc 3 this upcoming semester and thought I would get a head start. 6years later and this video still helping out students like myself to understand very simply. Thanks allot

[baymeosplit]

YES! I've been waiting for Calc 3. This could be the most anticipated YouTube series of 2016! Thanks Professor Leonard!

[sfisomkhize]

He is the reason why I want to take Theoretical physics, I promise I will come back teach the world the law of the universe, free off charge. thank you so much proff

[johnindermuehle]

Thank you Professor Leonard, you are the only reason I haven't flunked out of engineering school yet. Absolutely life saving.

Calc 3 test in two days. Relied on you last semester, really didn't think I would have that luxury this time with calc 3.
You and patrickjmt are the heroes of the math community on here. Sadly, my class jumped straight to chapter 12 D:

[doctorheroine]

Yes!! He's actually going to do Calculus 3 now! My wish came true.

[lordfarquaadreal]

I'm in calc 2 for some reason I'm being taught this in my class. Your videos really make me feel like I'm in a classroom with a quality professor, unlike my actual classroom. Thank you so much!

[theodor]

Couldn't find a coherent and followable explaination of the different coordinate systems applied in Electrodynamics, you know what? Searched on YT, found Professor Leonard. Now the problem is solved. How on earth can't respectable professors in their field explain these kind of easy topics? I guess that's why we need you. Keep it up!

[thebigpapa]

oh my god, u broke everything down and explained so well and detail. I'm so glad I found you on Youtube, I'm now confident to get an A from calc3 for this semester. This video still keeps its value after almost 10 years.

[InteristaS]

i just started calc 3 this semester. dude you are the shit!! love you man

[WizardVespian]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I am really looking forward to these lectures. Edit: Where did the support button go? I click on it and it takes me to your user page but I don't see the spot to donate. These lectures have helped me so much, there isn't a lot of quality lecture material on YouTube for multi-variable calculus. You are helping a lot of people with this.

[asnakeseyoum]

Thanks Professor; I took this class with 2 credit hours in the last semester and I discovered your lecture after I failed the first test. i watched the lecture over and over and over and made it to B with a lot of help from our professor and other assistants. I really recommend this lecture for every one who will take this class. I enjoyed your lecture and thanks again!

[nikseptember]

Thank you so much Professor Leonard. The semester just started, and I'll be using your videos like always because they are consistently a wonderful resource.

[magicmike]

Linear algebra, diffy q's next please!

[matheusandrade]

Thank you so much! Everything I know about Calculus is because of you. These lectures have helped me so much, I've never seen a better teacher than you. Keep up the great work!

[riaregi]

DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG IVE BEEN WAITING AND PRAYING THAT YOU WOULD POST A CALC 3 SERIES. You saved my sorry ass in calc 2 and I always tell everyone I know to watch your videos because I have never seen anyone explain calc the way you do! Is it extremely nerdy if I screamed when I saw that you uploaded calc 3 videos? Probably. Thank you for posting your lectures!

[ahmedalhomsi]

This is literally the best professor ever!

[cfandrews]

I'm here 8 years later trying to get ahead for my first college math class. Thank you!
