Calculus 2 Lecture 9.5: Showing Convergence With the Alternating Series Test, Finding Error of Sums

please make a video series that teaches calc teachers how to teach calc.

Final grade in Cal 2 : 98%. All thanks to you Professor Leonard, massive respect to you good sir

[nitotech]

Professor has an uncanny ability to know when the students are lost and reviews it again just to get everyone on the same path.

[arsollo]

show of hands if this guy also saved your cal grade 🙌

[dakota]

0:00 Alternating Series
7:45 Alternating Series Test
Lots of examples
45:23 Error Sums

[dominusfons]

He's the only professor, who does not stutter because he knows full well what he's talking about and is prepared to deliver it unlike my calculus prof :)

[siddharthsoni]

i was actually texting when the Professor said stop texting. Sorry Professor.

[airmanfair]

"Did they pass?"
"No they failed miserably, it was a final".
lol

[blublum]

The way he asks questions is amazing! One person calls out the write answer (or wrong). Then says "why is that?" TO THE WHOLE ROOM and not just waiting for that one persons response. This style makes everyone want to speak up and not be afraid to respond to questions. I've never seen this done and I'm in my last semester of classes. What a legend.

I love that I can find the answers to ANY class just by going on Google or looking up YouTube lecture/tutorial vids. I also hate that I can find the answers to ANY class that I pay ~$2k a semester for by going on Google or looking up YouTube lecture/tutorial vids.

Paid over 4, 000 for a summer class at Georgetown University. This professor explains everything 100 times better. Should have sent him my $4, 000+ dollars instead ...Sigh

[dovidbaum]

Binge watching Professor Leonard > House of Cards

[richardosborn]

I love these videos. My professor covered both of these topics in only 30 minutes.

[cassied]

My calc teacher is honestly amazing.
But this teacher explains things just a little bit differently. It’s nice to learn the same lesson twice from two great professors with a slightly different approach and style.

[BieberFever]

you're such a blessing! I have a calc 2 final tomorrow and I wish i would've found your channel at the beginning of the semester !!

[Plainseight]

You should post the homework that give your students for us to practice. That would be great.

Professor Leonard, thank you for Showing Convergence With the classical Alternating Series Test and also Finding the Error of Sums in Calculus Two. The Alternating Series Test is simple to follow and understand, however showing that a function is decreasing can be a problem depending on the function that is given. Finding the Error of Sums is simple to work with from start to finish provided that the function is convergent. This is an error free video/lecture on YouTube.

I was looking out the window and not paying attention when he said "Are you listening?" and I'm like what the fuck!!!

[ProfessorLeonard]

mcw0805 Right you are!  A small typo, but a typo indeed.  Good catch!  Considering that the series that is being evaluated is from n=2, the = 1 part is irrelevant anyway and it would make the function undefined.

Today is 4/6/2017 and I am a college student in calc 2 I am using your videos to take notes and study for my test tomorrow. PLEASE come to NMT and be a professor, your teaching style is great!
Thank you so much!
