Nice videos. Can you guys pls make a playlist and organize it from 1 to the nth example? So that it will be easy for the viewers

The problem does not consider the wall thickness ...shouldn't that be considered in solving for actual Ladder length?Your videos are fantastic...so thorough ....so EASY to follow ... and LEARN from !Fred CT

Hi l am from Ethiopia, l am your regular follower and l want to tank you because all videos you make are very mandatory and useful.But today in this lesson l have question if is possible that is when you do derivatives, you did only derivative of denominator with out including nanometers, in short you didn't follow the rule of derivatives, so this is my question as it is the rule to do this type of question or what?any ways tanks more for your lectures keep it up!

It's a little annoying that you block what you're writing as you're speaking. It makes it hard to follow.
