Introduction to Polar Coordinates (Precalculus - Trigonometry 36)

What Polar Coordinates are, how to plot them, and why they are used in math.

As a registered mechanical engineer, Prof. Leonard makes math easy to relate to and is a great gift to the STEM world. Cheers to you brother!

My teacher has been gone for almost a week now, and all we are doing is watching videos that tackle the problems with no explanations at all. It's so confusing! But I love the fact that you give the THEORY and THEN the math. It makes much more sense! I wish you were my AP Pre-Calc teacher. Great video! Thank you!

I'm taking college trig right now and your lectures are right on track with my schedule. It works out great and has been helping me not only do well, but truly understand the topics! Tomorrow I will be taking a test covering polar cords, law of sins, cosines, etc.

[RandomKido]

amazing how you really always explain every single step!
perfect for people who have never seen this
and easily skip-able for people who already know!!
way better than the videos which quicker move without explaining it fully

[namus_rd]

i can't believe i can stay and watch your videos for 15 minutes straight and complaing about how it was too short.
great work Professor!

PROFESSOR!!!

just finished watching your entire College Algebra series and im going to start your trig one shortly, you've been a massive help to me and i'll be supporting your patreon (highest tier btw) for as long as i can. cheers mate

[samueldarenskiy]

This man has a gift in teaching, amen!

[willblack]

Wrong video, but thank you so much for the help with calc 3! 34 on first test, 76 on second, and just got a 96 on my third! Wouldn’t have been able to do it without you.

I'm taking college trig currently and this is perfect timing! Thank you Professor Leonard for making things less intimidating!!

[eviefrogs]

My pre-calc final is tomorrow and I completely forgot how to do everything we learned this semester, tysm for making this, you explain everything way better than my actual teacher

[georgesadler]

Professor Leonard, thank you for another excellent video/lecture on the Introduction to Polar Coordinates in Precalculus/Trigonometry. This is one topic that I do not fully understand from start to finish. I will rewatch this video and do problems for a full comprehension of the topic.

Thanks for the review on this subject, Prof. Leonard

[samsunnahar]

You are always my best teacher. God bless you!!

[sahrishzaib]

I'm revising again from your lessons after 12 years of my masters please give lessons on partial differential equations and numerical analysis too.

[canman]

You can't afford to miss this in Engineering Mathematics. Tons of them !

[colchi]

I am always so excited whenever you upload, love the way you teach!

[ayrthhhn]

superb introduction, thanks a lot prof

Reminds me of mobility boards for naval navigation.

Hey Prof Leonard, I was just, in real life, creating a shopping list and it dawned on me. You have an edge other math teachers don't have: nutrition. You obviously workout and eat right and I was just debating if I should start adding protein powder to my breakfast smoothies (which probably aren't healthy anyway). I searched your channel's playlists for any videos on health, just in case you already broke into that niche, and you haven't! You could literally be a math teacher and a nutrition teacher. Just a thought :) I'm very very slowly making my way through your calc class because I have a lot of catching up to do. Thank you!

[StatatUTK]

Love your channel! It's absolutely awesome and has helped me learn and remember mathematics. Quick question, have you ever thought of using a wireless mic like the Sennheiser wireless microphones?

NOTE - I don't work for them. I just use a lot of audio/video equipment in what I do and I could see this being a great addition to what you do.
