Introduction to Complex Numbers (1 of 2: The Backstory)

[bellamoon]

This guy is practically my teacher. I’m homeschooled, so I get to use his YouTube channel for 50% of my maths homework!

I am an American engineer and I just watched this playlist to review some concepts. what I realized is that the American education system is seriously flawed and almost completely failed me. I even went to a private school where i completed first year calculus and yet somehow had to wait until college before I ever saw an argand diagram or a vector. some people here are even seriously trying remove algebra as a requirement to get graduation rates up. mr. woo, you are an amazing teacher and I am on to your logarithm playlist to see how else my expensive private American education failed me.

Would kill to have a teacher like this

I wonder if you can imagine the amount of impact you have. I live in the Netherlands and my kids have profited so much from your lessons. Must be so satisfying knowing that kids all over the world are getting better in math!

I never passed in maths coz it was boring never studied it never completed my maths homework, moreover if you can get promoted to next class even if you fail in one subject why not skip one. However this man is making me watch all his videos. You're great Eddie.

Integer means "ganze Zahlen" (sometimes Ganzzahlen) in German and does translate to whole numbers. Natural numbers for instance are called "natürliche Zahlen".

Prof. Woo: An exemplary professor. Thank you, so, much.

You’re an excellent teacher. I’m continuing to find myself even more lucky, as these concepts just make sense in my head. I just watched your calculus part 1 and 2 videos and it doesn’t seem nearly as hellish as many of the people I know describe it to be. I haven’t felt challenged much at all all the way through pre-calc. I plan on taking calculus my senior year of high school and I’m beyond excited. Hopefully I’ll actually have to put more thought into what I’m doing. I love math; I always have and always will. Not many people do, but I know that teachers like you give a sense of hope and understanding to people who don’t like math, something I fortunately have always had that I consider to be a gift.

This is a very elegant and straightforward explanation of an essential mathematical concept.

now, fortunately I'm on right channel after all these years of my life !!

Eddie
god bless you for being such a perfect teacher !

[kurodragon]

I feel like I;m getting addicted to Math. How outrageous is that?!

[bigrockets]

l wish I would have had a math teacher like this in college. Eddie you are amazing!

[vernon]

Thanks to your videos is the reason why is maths is easy .

[charityrotich]

Hea in Uganda my tr just hinted on the topic..I am thankful coz he is my new teacher😊😊😁

[bilalkhares]

Great teacher, I am a physics undergraduate and use this video if I forget why I love maths :)

[laurensdehaan]

This guy is such a JOY to watch! As Bella Moon implies, this kind of content can likely make home schooling viable. However, since school is only PARTLY about formal education, it's not enough for a developing child.

Arabic numbers like we use today are slightly modified figures that show corners you can count. For example the 2 looked like a Z and it has 2 corners.
Scott Flansburg shows this in one of his video's. He's the Guinness Book of Records fastest "Human calculator".

[lunathestrnge]

Thank god you exist. Without you I would have failed my test!

[samikshagurung]

the hard work and effort you put in to make your students understand👏👏. You remind me of my maths teacher in
highschool, he too was so dedicated and probably the best teacher I have ever had .

[lalhruaitluangic]

What a fortunate time to have you tube to have the opportunity to watch this valuable video.
