Calculus explained through a story

Here is a look at the essence of calculus through the story of Bob. We use differentiation to find the slope of a curved line and then use 'integration' to find the area of an irregular shape.

Special thanks to the owl and birds in my garden for making so much noise during filming.

Fun fact: the word calculus comes from the latin word for small pebble

[eemeli]

Teacher: For this calculus test you can use any calculator you want
Me: *Walks into class with a huge log and a bucket of sand

Bob repairs bridges
Bob cares for the deers
Bob is a good guy
Be like Bob...

She’s literally putting Bob Ross in calculus in the same world. My life is complete 😭❤️

I have no idea what she's talking about but she's impossibly charming.

I feel like I was just cured of some weird math disease I’ve had for a decade. Awesome video! Thank you!

[nyakiiyo]

You’re the prettiest and most peaceful math teacher I’ve ever seen.

Bob: Lays down sand
Windy day: Oh no you don’t

*Next up :* bob goes to cern to split some atoms so he can perfectly measure the surface

your smile can put a sense of serenity into my stressed up soul

The deer died 15 years ago...Bob still hasn’t finished counting his sand grains

Loved the story. I wish you had been my calculus teacher many decades ago. Very entertaining and informative. Please don't let anything stop you in life in obtaining, using and helping others with your knowledge, You are and have a great gift.

Great explanation! As a math minor I know it takes a gift to be able to explain concepts like differentiation and integration in simple terms. You have that gift. Keep it up!

This is like meditation for me whilst learning something that bored me to tears when I was too young to learn it.

He protecc
He attacc

But most importantly he wants his grass bacc

Wow! Story telling is a license to print memories in the minds your audience! Beautifully illustrated and delivered, this lady is inspiring to watch.

5:00 - She lied to us about not talking math! Five minutes in she brought up logs!

[GordieGii]

When Bob finishes counting the grains of sand he discovers the number of deer has changed.

Imagine how peaceful, rational, and lovely the world would be if everyone was like Toby. My new happy place.

I never understood the practical uses for differentiation and integration in class until i saw this video. Wish my teachers had told us stories before teaching how to do the calculations. You are doing a great job lady. Keep them coming!
