Simplifying the difference quotient

👉 Learn how to evaluate the limit of a function using the difference quotient formula. The difference quotient is a measure of the average rate of change of the function over an interval, h. The limit of the difference quotient gives the derivative of the function.
The difference quotient formula states that the derivative of a function f(x) is the limit as h goes to zer0 of the quotient of the diference between f(x + h) and f(x) and h.

11 years later, and you are still, single-handedly keeping students from withdrawing from calc classes. Thank you sir!

[atryan]

oh man i wish i had this math teacher. i cant for the life of me figure out simple math like this. im a junior in college and can write APA style research papers in a snap yet i cant do algebra. no one has ever taught me to use a punnet square to do math! genius! this helped out so much!

[brianmclogan]

yes yes, I am very happy to help, I am sure you will be working on much more difficult topics in your class. Glad you understand my explanation, I assume you are starting calculus?

[camzilla]

Currently a junior in college during this pandemic and I’m having trouble learning algebra from my laptop. Tearing the web trying to look for help and found you, you’ve made this so much easier!!! Thank you 🙏🏻

[SteelRainz]

After 11 videos I finally found the one that breaks this down into something easier to comprehend. Thank you so much. I was on the verge of throwing my computer off my balcony. You have made this problem easy and deserve a raise.

As a 30 year old returning to pursue a physics degree and haven't touched math in 12 years, I've watched at least 10 videos of yours to catch back up to where I was when I left high school. Thank you for the concise explanations and keeping this stuff uploaded.

[britnicole]

You are my life line for my college math courses. Thank you!

[saucehino]

You’re getting me through these quarantine math classes! 🙌🏻

[HeyItsFiiZY]

my advice for those trying to learn this is: DOUBLE CHECK YOUR WORK! this is a long process of simple steps. Don’t rush! Take your time and go back and check all the + & - signs and all the real tedious things in the problem. Be patient & go step by step & you’ll get the right answer! Best of luck to all of you! Great video!

college freshmen here taking calculus! My teacher is so bad nothing she explains makes sense so I just wanted to thank you big time for helping me make sense of the steps and helping me finish my homework . Your teaching strategy is really great and way better than my math professors.

[HystericalMafia]

You know even though these videos are over a decade old they still are surprisingly good at getting me to understand how to do these problems. Thanks for that, I don't think I would have stayed in my pre-calc class without it.

[gillianknowles]

I am starting freshman calculus this year and I just want to say thank you so much! Math has always been a struggle subject for me but when you teach I actually learn.

[iwannabethekidxc]

Beginning my Calculus I class this summer term, I was very intimidated by the idea of having to recall and quickly apply all the stuff I had learned my previous 2 precal courses, but I have to say by far the most valuable resource in recalling such material has been our Professor Brian McLogan, who freely distributes all the same knowledge he teaches his own students to the rest of the world, at no cost, so that we may all benefit from his extraordinary mind.
Thank you for your service!

Almost 10 years later and you are still a magician

[brianmclogan]

thanks for watching, let me know what other types of videos you like or want to see

[brianmclogan]

I appreciate that, thank you and please let me know if there is anything I can do to help you out

[shuckingnerds]

11 years later you are helping me in college. All my years of school you have helped. God bless you

[RyandBurtson]

OH MY GOSH YOU'RE THE BEST. I needed this so bad, I literally opened my book and just thought, "No."
I need a good grade in this class and you sir just helped me get a little bit closer, thank you so much! You're an excellent teacher!

[TaylorFincher]

Nine years later and you are still helping me. I have been watching your videos for a year now, and you helped me passed college algebra with an A!!!

[martianbuilder]

This video came out exactly 10 years ago today, and I'm watching because I have a test on this tomorrow. Thanks for the help!
