Gets me every time. The most common trait of amazing teachers is engagment.
Prof. Leonard gets an A+

Professor Leonard, today i aced my multivariable calculus course ALL because of you. I wish i could meet you and personally thank you.
You don't need to be able to fly or shoot lasers from your eyes to be superman.

when he say's "I need YOUR attention up here at the board" he is talking to ME

calculus knowledge is stored in the arms

You're the best Calculus teacher I've ever learned from. Clear and thorough explanations. Thank you for these vids.

I'm studying for my calc midterm in college and I was zoning out exactly when you said listen up this is important. How crazy!

[bostjan]

I just started studying electrical engineering and would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for these videos. You really do make a difference :)

[Fidonese]

This was absolutely amazing. I came into the video having no clue what this topic was about and left feeling pretty comfortable.

You're an amazing lecturer and thank you so much for uploading this.

I'm taking my calc III final exam today. Watching videos to review. So far this video gave me a clearer understanding. Thanks!!!!

[anarelle]

How can I perform a transformation where my math teacher is sent to some parallel universe and you become my teacher, so I can finally enjoy calc 3 instead of crying over it?

[Tritiuhm]

No amount of notes or videos can top what I’ve learned from your video. Thank you for illuminating this topic.

You don't know how much help we are getting from you professor Leonard, god bless you :)

I go to bed listening to this guy ~ he's incredible !

I like how Professor Leonard actually erases every single dot when he erases the board.
I hate when teachers leave ugly dots and lines all over the place, so it is strangely relieving to see him clear the board the proper way.

I'm taking Calculus II right now via mail correspondence at LSU. They cover chapters 11.6 and 11.7 of your book (Larson Calculus vol 6 or 7?) in calc II. I want to thank you for making these Calc III videos, they were right on time and I have learned so much from them. I basically ignore the instruction book they sent me and watch these videos to learn the material. I don't know where I would be without them thanks again!!

[teneoaristocrata]

Thank you so much for making this videos available online. If you could please allow your fans to donate that would make me very happy because honestly i would not have made it through calculus without you. If it is a link please point me to it. At least donating something to you would not make me feel bad. Thanks professor you are the best.

Like the "r is not the distance from the origin to the point... It's to the projection on x-y plane." This makes the whole instruction very clear and intuitive as how polar coordinate is related to the cylindrical coordinate.

[icee]

When I took Calc 3 we never had this lesson. Still aced the class thanks to the Leonard!

[georgesadler]

Professor Leonard, thank you for another off the charts video/lecture on Using Cylindrical and Spherical Coordinates in Calculus Three. I really enjoy this topic from start to finish. I finally understand the different coordinate systems and how to convert from one system to another.

Great example of a good teacher. Explains the concepts simply
