Me: I'm waaay ahead of you

Students please pay attention.. you are lucky to have such dedicated teacher... appreciate you sir🙏👌

[somtomadueke]

What I like about his lectures are the fact that he explains the history and concepts of all these areas in maths and I believe that’s fundamental for understanding why and when we use these concepts rather than just solving questions to pass

It is 2:30 AM and I feel the need to learn calculus because this guy is such a great teacher

6:08 annoying, rambunctious students
6:16 annoying, rambunctious students after Eddie's implementation of tranquilizer darts

Thanks dude.
I failed calculus 3 times from the ages of 17-18.
Students: never give up. I'm now doing a PhD in biostatistics. True story.

6:13 He definitely skipped the part where he told the students to shut up.

"If learning rules is what calculus is to you, then you don't know what calculus is."

Beautiful.

Mr Woo. Thank you for your enthusiasm and great engagement. I showed your clips to my son and here is something: His choice was to forego joining and playing his group computer racing program for 6 hours to watch clip after clip after clip of your clips. And those he had trouble with he re-run and re-run until he grasped it. And I watched with him !! I am 70 and he is 36 and working day job. After this latest clip he went to local college and picked up programs for older students. And that is what you stimulated. Thank you.

Dentist: "You have calculus on your teeth"
Me: "I know, I ate my homework"

Literally the most energetic and engaging math teacher I have ever seen, and those rude students are just talking and laughing in the background. Ungrateful lucky bastards.

My college professor treated calculus exactly the way Mr. Woo said not to: The first day of class he directed our attention to a table of 200 formulas in the back of our text book that had to be memorized. I think my grades would have been much better if Mr. Woo had been teaching the class.

[neek]

That introduction is something I needed to hear years ago. I am about halfway through my engineering degree right now and had I have treated calculus like that sooner it would’ve saved me many headaches

[toddmiller]

Wow! What a gifted and engaging teacher. Imagine how many lives he has so positively impacted over his career. He was BORN to teach!

[zakorkaz]

This man is an amazing teacher. I wish I could physically take his classes. Engaging and interesting at the same time. Very good.

[MrBej]

I just need a teacher like him. A teacher who makes maths seem fun even though it really is, but people don't realise it is.

[veronicaraylind]

Now I understand Maths better ... at the age of 55! Not too late?? :D

When I took first year calculus the prof. came out and just started writing formulas on the board and talking about limits to infinity. I had to no idea why I was doing anything I just followed the rules. I managed to scrape through derivatives but integration did not well so I took the full course again the next year. This time the prof was like Eddie Woo. She explained everything in terms of physics and the "why" of each exercise. The second time I got an A in the course and I really loved it. I am now a science teacher and this experience has always informed my teaching.

[akshaysharma]

sir! i am great fan of ur teaching way! u always focus on the concept rather then just telling the questions. plzz keep on uploading videos . I follow everyone of them!

[bilalsengez]

High school physics teacher who loves math finds himself watching all of those calculus videos. You are amazing! You actually teach MATH not just solve problems and say that it is a rule and we call that rule blah blah... Great job.
