him: first of all, excellent work. it's not easy to learn all of the required algebra and trigonometries just to make it this far. me: *sweats intensely* edit: calculus wasn't that hard. if i can do it, you can do it. good luck!
comment section is composed of the prodigy kids saying theyre 12 months old and learning calculus and here *I* am going to the university in 3 months for computer engineering still asking siri what a bloody integral is
27 years old decided to go back to uni and study mechanical engineering. Never done calculus in my entire life, core subject first semester. Start in 2 days, watching this video for the 3rd time now to try and understand it, starting to sweat a little haha. I wish you the best with your course, hopefully you learn calculus easily :)
Samee here. I specifically clicked on this video cause it was animated hence simplified for children and I'm a software engineering student, the struggle is real
just memorize the formulas and you’ll be fine. in his first example he was calculating Distance by multiplying speed x time which is basically D = S x T. if you were looking for time then it would be T= D/S..
Hey, partially unrelated but I wanted to let you know that I'm coming from nearly a decade being out of school having believed I'd never be good at any form of learning. Particularly math. Through a lot of good people and my own realization and willingness to change, I've learned this isn't true. I'm here facing my dreaded fear from high school with a willingness to learn for the sake of bettering myself and one day utilizing this and much more in any way that'll help me and others one day. It's never too late to tear up your script and start a new path. Don't lock yourself to a belief that "you're only this good/bad at this thing. This is how it'll be, it'll never change". That's only true if you let that belief bind you. Study and work hard for you and your values, grow and find your happiness people because it's possible.
I’m with that’s exactly what I’ve been trying to do too. But here my issue… this math is gonna require you to be good/familiar with the math learned before… but I wasn’t good at school and never fully understood and forgot most of it. That’s gonna effect if I could learn this right?
"First of all, excellent work. It's not easy to learn all of the required algebra, and trigonometry just to make it this far." What are the required Algebra and Trigonometry???
I find that any difficult math like analytical geometry makes much more sense when you have real world examples to connect them to, instead of just numbers and letters. This video has sparked my interest and makes me want to enjoy this calculus course I'm about to take.
My goodness math has always been my kryptonite. It was the main issue that stopped me from pursuing a career in medical science. Well it’s been some years now and my heart won’t let me stray away so I’ll have to work really hard to figure this out.
@@MySecretMathTutor lol I’m 12 ima study 3 hours today just to know what calculus is bruh just be enthusiastic I used to hate math Do it for the ones you love
Shawn Englerth The word has a traditional meaning as an expression that exaggerates the truth. She implied someone said they’re a sperm, as opposed to being a human being. Also, the normal meaning fits as well, as if the person was trying to say they were a sperm, they were literally a sperm before anything else (I don’t know what the original comment said though)
I'm so proud of those people who formulated these equations and formulas. I've always had this problem as a kid , I worry on how to solve real world equations, but now here I am, relieved that someone had already made these formulas for me. 90% of my childhood problems solved ✅
I’m a truck driver I’ve had some free time on the road so I decided to challenge myself by learning math. I vaguely remember the algebra I learned when I was in high school and community college. I hope to make use of these skills.
my 10-year-old just asked me what calculus is and we came across your RU-vid answer. Thanks for offering this free math help! I’m sure will be using this resource all year. 🙏❤️
i am negative 12 years old and going to the 160th grade and i found that your video is missing very important aspects like the missing label of the x axis.hmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Going back for my B.S in Computer Science after obtaining AAS 7 years ago and I'm not going to lie I'm a little nervous about my upcoming calc courses. This video is well explained and made me feel more comfortable. It's not so much the material, but the execution and instructor from what I've learned so far. I'm pretty good at algebra but I'll definitely be watching this channel periodically to keep me fresh on the subject!
I'm in 10th grade, I am just seeing how hard this will be in the future before I do college. I want to succeed and graduate, so I'll have to study more. I am asian so my parents are very strict.
Hi, I'm 40 and I just want to feel what it's like to be a struggling young student again. I'm Norse and my parents used to make me walk naked through fire to school every day including Sunday without food, in the middle of the winter, after giving me a beating for breakfast. They weren't very strict, tho.
I actually enjoyed this as i got definitions and the basic things to look out for. Even though i never took trig in high school and sucked at math, how you put it together actually made sense.
My grandpa was a MIT math professor and worked for NASA during the space exploration, my grandma tells me he was so smart that math at his level was chaotic and actually creative rather than rigid and factual always. She also said though he had lots of personality problems with being so in his head all the time, calculating.
The first video I've ever seen that actually explained calculus without resorting to waffling on with terms that make no sense. Einstein said that if you can't simply explain something then you don't know it well enough... this here is a man that understands calculus. Time to now go binge watch ALL his videos to learn calculus. Hahaha.
The comment section si full of kids looking for attention by saying their young age. I also want to learn calculus, but at the end of the school I will give it a pause. Since i need to focus on more subjects.
Thanks for telling me I was always wondering what calculus is because I was curious and when I search it up it was always a lesson on derfitives or something like that but I never understood its purpose and this video just did that
Calculus has three major tools: Limits, integrals and derivatives, and it helps us to understand more about the changes around us. And it excites me more to learn about calculus.
Out of curiosity how many of you never got to take this class in hs? i can't believe I was so lazy in hs that I never got to take this class. I'm 27 now and all this made 100% sense to me. All of it. I'm so mad I never pushed myself to do better. All my life I thought I was the biggest idiot for not taking school seriously, and not being in the same classes as my "friends". Only to realize that in fact, all i need now is more practice. Thank you so much for helping me understand this finally
(I’m sorry, I didn’t think this comment would get so long. I also typed this on my phone, so I’m sorry about the grammar) Your comment sums me up perfectly. I’m so sad I never actually “applied myself” like my teachers said. Calculus isn’t nearly as bad as I was afraid of. I was sick a lot as a kid so I missed a bunch of school. Missing class + crazy bad ADHD means math was horrible for me my entire life. I did poorly in school because I didn’t care about it, and graduated high school in 2012 with a C average, and managed to graduate without even passing Algebra 1 (my school offered alternative math credits that were “hard” but didn’t actually require math, it was more like IQ tests and puzzle solving). After graduation, I started a business, got into investing, and worked a “normal” job all at the same time, and retired super young last May (exactly one year ago next week). I still felt really unfulfilled and wanted to see what my life would be like if I had a do-over. So, in the last year I went to college, and I tried my best for once. I took so many courses that I’ll already be finished with my associates by the end of this summer, and I’m hoping to transfer to a good school and study economics. I’ve managed to maintain a perfect 4.0 this entire time too. But the biggest surprise, and the thing I’m most proud of, is that I wanted to learn math, so I started Khan Academy last summer from the very begging at 2nd grade. I refused to move on until I had 100% on everything, including a refresher of every grade I already passed, once a month. Pathetically, I thought it was hard. BUT I’m here watching this video on Calculus after 12 months, so I guess it wasn’t hard enough to stop me. I’m much happier for it, and I think this process has improved me as a person. To anyone reading, I know not everyone can bail on their job or other responsibilities, but if you feel like you are missing something, this is probably it. If I can do it after decades of laziness and bad habits, never studying a single time in my whole life before a year ago, you can do it.
What I dont like about this video is that I spent time to stay up and study, What I expected was to learn calculus and instead I was just told waht calculus was when I already knew. What I wanted to know was how does it work?? Im thankfull you took the time in making this video for other people though!! Thank you!!
Great! Ill be sure to watch the other videos then. Do you happen to have any videos that teach you area models?? I struggle with them and my teacher said that I should study them.
I copied mathematics exam paper from my friend and got 70 percent in high school still not a clue what calculus is,after 15 years some nights i lay on bed thinking what the hell was all that fuss about.i am going thru this video on one of those nights still trying to get my head around it.hmm i guess good thing i choose medical field.
im about to go to high school, and im researching the career that im going to choose, and it requires alot of calculus and computer science. Im trying to get prepared for college and learn all of this stuff pretty early so i can get the hang of it when im in college. In this intro i learned alot of complicated things wich i can research and then know it! i already know the functions and slope. This leads to how complicated things might be, but i have a BIG feeling that calculus isnt as easy i thought it would be.
Big Quapa Gaming Hi. You're probably in school now. But the steps to calculus goes like 1)pre algebra 2) algebra 3) geometry 4) algebra ii 4.5) trigonometry 5) pre calculus 5.5) trigonometry 6) calculus 7)more calculus That's how it was for me, but I'm an honors student so my pace was faster. You may have to learn trig as its own class or maybe you'll learn it with your algebra Also if you are gonna need cs and calculus for your career, i suggest taking the AP csp class and csa if you live in usa. Also when you're ready take ap cal ab/bc. Physics should also be known if your career may need to model or simulate real world things. Good luck
Keep making these videos so people would stop paying thousands of dollars to learn about this subject for 3 months. I rather invest in 5 minutes for the same education as a college student.
You will never be able to reach the same understanding as a college student without putting in effort to learn the subject. A 5 minute video does not even approach the necessary knowledge
I'm excited to learn calculus in college because of the limits put on me in special education throughout high school. I can solve limits but only the ones that you can factor.
I am in a university calculus class this semester and i was too stubborn too take precalculus. I feel lost as im trying to prepare for class. I dont want to drop the class. Im trying to watch as many videos like this…this is a good video…subscribed and liked…but i still feel overwhelmed. Im also doing all the khan academy i can do. Is it even possible that i can be ready for this class in two weeks?
I dropped out in 8th grade, spent 14 years working dead end jobs, then got my GED. I went to college the following semester as someone who was only capable of doing basic math like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. I have never been a smart person if I’m being honest. I didn’t care to learn anything. But I passed all of my college classes, including calculus. It feels impossible, but it’s not. You can do it.
Correct me if im wrong (Base on my understanding) Calculus is about change Example change in the speed of the car, change in the look of a car because it gets old . Pls correct me if im wrong
I was homeschooled my whole life, but now want to get into dentistry, and according to the internet, calculus is one of the maths I might have to take, but I've never done calculus, and I absolutely hated math growing up, so I'm scared out of my mind that I'm gonna be a moron when it comes to placement testing (I'm going to a community college) because the concept of calculus or pi was never actually put in my brain, so now I'm here, just trying to get a general grasp of it, because, as much as I hate math still, I want to be ahead of the game a little so I don't psyche myself out and quit when the homework gets a little too hard, or the tests throw me off. Anyway, thank you for coming to my Ted talk. Have a nice night
I don’t think there is really an age or grade limit for calculus. Many of the core ideas can be learned early on. Keep working hard and you’ll do great. :^D
I do not have an extensive math background, as I had to drop out of high school. Can you recommend a curriculum that will provide the foundational knowledge needed to learn calculus? Thank you in advance.
Since Calculus has so many new ideas you can try and jump into it directly. I'd keep an algebra, or a pre-calculus book handy when some confusing calculations show up. Then you can brush up on the stuff you need. :^D
Back in high school I used to do calculus for fun😂. I was iin a boarding school. So, there wasn't much entertainment. But a few years later, I barely remember what it is. Because I took a biology course in University. But I have fond memories.
do you also have a video to explain this in detail to a biology student who has to use differentiation and integration in physics? this video is very nice, easy to understand..thank you
Correct me if im wrong, I had no idea about calculas, So baised on the explanation I've just heard calculas is mostly about trigonometry, geometry and physics combined.
Good sir i loved you video, however some students have a low self esteem and so when you say calculus is "hard" they will believed it and they will make this an excuse and will not even try to understand this. god bless you Sara Muhammed
As a child you were afraid the boogeyman was real ... then you found out calculus existed !! And your college scholarship hangs in the balance! NOW YOU KNOW REAL FEAR!
