Quick Intro to Calculus

[ntsikasekalo]

I want every math student to see this 👌

[Lumina]

Awesome way of introducing calculus! Would love a video like this working into the fundamental theorem of calculus, you always have a nice way of putting things for new leaners

[klaouchie]

Saving it in my playlist "math lore" 😂

[jacobr]

This is one of the best and most cohesive explanations for derivatives I have ever seen. Thank you Andy.

[reecec]

I love that you don't gloss over a single step.

Amazing video, and probably the best 5 minute introduction to calculus I’ve seen.

To anyone watching this and wanting the same type of content giving you an intuitive insight into what calculus is, but far more in depth and covering more calculus topics, 3blue1brown has a series called “the essence of calculus” that is truly outstanding

This is such a great video, short, straight to the point and intuitive.

Awesome video Andy! I love problem solving in Math and the way I was taught is it's always about how to solve the problem. But not why we solve the problem. Or what is even the problem at a zoomed out level. I want to understand the basics and principles of concepts like Calculus and this did a great job of it. Thanks!

This is known as the First Principle from which all of differential Calculus flows. Excellent explanation!

I just passed my Differential Calculus class. I'm familiar with the practical uses of Calculus, like minimizing costs or maximizing the volume of your DIY box, but this is my first time actually understanding how it can be used to calculate rates of change. I just assumed that it's a magical process which can automatically generate us numbers we want if we tweak some formulas. This is really cool.

Wow! That makes SO MUCH SENSE!
Wish I could have seen this...
50 years ago!
Thank you.
Nice to revist something that is really useful in this world... and that I barely understood.

I used to hate Calculus. But you along with The Math Sorcerer have made Calculus something I love!!

[TorqueBow]

as i have gotten older and gotten farther away from my high school days, i have gone to realize and fee that a lot of the more complicated maths and such is just long-form logic puzzles, and I come to understand them a lot more. great stuff here, Andy Math. Thank you.

2:44 - 2:50 god the passion with which he delivers this information is infectious

[abbasfadhil]

Man that was brilliant the way you make it so intuitive using visuals is remarkable cant wait to see the part on integration

[mrsnufflegums]

I wish math was more like this when I was in school. Instead all I got was confusing math problems at 8am or a computer program that just refused to accept an answer that turned out to be correct

[Orange_Ro]

I was searching for a video about this and you posted at the perfect time

[ken]

Thank you so much ! I always had a hard time to understand the link between limits and derivative. This is so well explained !

[medoyk]

How fascinating, although I already did my class, it’s cool to get a reminder of all the theory I went through.

[basilhajyahia]

Really amazing, nice and helpful explanation of calculus .. much apreciation!
