Intro to Derivatives | Quick Calculus 1 of 6 | Doc Physics

We begin to understand what a derivative is and how it's useful in physics. We'll differentiate polynomials and sine and cosine.

I'm 50 years old. An electrical engineer...I wish I saw this presentation 30 years ago when I took calculus in college. This 26 min presentation cleared up 30 years of vagueness. Thank you. You are priceless.

I've been trying to find out calculus with 0 experience with all kinds of video but I think this is the best stater lesson I've had.

Brilliant! I'm 53 years old and I just learned calculus 26 minutes ago thanks to this gentleman's patience explaining this system in such detail Layman version. Thank you so much Doc !!!

Very well expained; never in our lives our teachers make maths this way; I bet they would many math fans would have at this moment. Congratulations to the author whoever he is

I'm 34 and learning calculus has always been a sort of holy grail for me. I've always been interested in physics and more recently electrical engineering but I always felt I was missing out on a lot not knowing the math. Thanks for helping me realize a goal I've had for over 15 years.

Thank you, great video. Probably number 25 of vids I've watched trying to understand what derivative means. I think I've got it now!

After a long time searching, i finally see the reason why people use derivatives! thankyou

[substitute]

i've finally grasped derivatives...  this video made all other attempts at understanding laughable, u r pro

I'm about to enter my third year of community college, and I'm going to declare my major as mechanical engineering. I look forward to watching the rest of your videos as an aid to my success. Thanks for taking the time to make all these great videos!

[YiZongOng]

Thank you so much, sir, this video made it much easier to understand derivatives!:D

This cleared up so much for me. Your teaching style is mint, perfectly paced.

[SeracS]

Thank you for intuitively and clearly explaining the concepts. It really helped.

[imassassin]

i had never done calculus or derivatives before, but i understand after watching this, thanks :)

[mutthunaveen]

I seriously enjoyed it watching.... First time in my life time I felt like "yes math make

[Max]

Best explanation of a derivative, you are a rock star!!

[lucamarin]

A semester entirely wasted not understanding the "magic" behind what derivatives are... Thank you, for a question my professor failed to articulate.

[SuperLose]

I love when Daddy Schuster teaches me all about these thick slopes😫

[dhirajkhanal]

Best explanation on Derivatives ..   Thanks you Doc Schuster 

[Divya.]

Lovely. Perfectly explained. Thank you for sharing such a nice video. Millions of likes.

[DocSchuster]

Excellent. That's my plan for future videos, and I'll keep them grouped by playlists. Keep in touch with further suggestions.
