I really want to take a moment to be..extremely grateful. I never expected such high quality education to be open and available for anyone with no cost. We are indeed blessed. We all should use this gift wisely. thank you Doctor Christine, may your days be wonderful always.
This was a really really really good explanation. I do not think I could explain this any better. i am just going to play it for my students and fill in any gaps :). You have a new subscriber!
Just wanted to say thank you for all your videos in Cal II. I had an A in the class by constant practice and your helpful video. I am glad I had You (Christine), Patrick and Krista's videos. Thanks once again and happy holidays.
you are fantastic! After just watching it once I sat down in the night befor going to bed and could derive everything myself! You are really a magic teacher! :-) Thanks alot and we are looking forward to seeing more of your great didactic masterpieces! =]
Brilliant. I've been looking for a derivation/proof of Simpson's Rule and this has been by far the best explanation I've come across on the net. Christine is better at teaching the concepts than the actual lecturer. Very much appreciated.
Actually sooooooo talented at teaching this one video explained this concept so much better than the last two hours of worth of youtube videos i watched
This explanation was not necessary to work with Simpson's approximations, but there's just something special about seeing the machinery like this. Thank you!
impressive,our prof just gave us the final expression without even explaining from where did it come I feel stupid when I try to memorize these rules .thank you so much for your astonishing efforts
so perfectly explained, I think I actually understand it a bit better now, thanks so much. My teacher goes so fast, skips steps, abreviates like a madman and most of the time I feel like he is speaking a different language. Worst part he never does examples just explains the theory then throws problems at us and expects us to jump right in and do the work! I need to see it done at least once before I am comfortable doing it, thanks so much for posting this video. very helpful.
Thank you so so much. Your teaching made me so happy to learn Math and this looked like so much fun. Thank you for going everything so detailed with your students and caring about them and their understanding. It means so much to us. (:
Excellent approach. Easiest of all I've seen. But some viewers might think that the formula is valid only when X1=0. It would have been better if it's explained that one can extend the formula for any number of such points on a curve by shifting the origin to the point in between each time, there by finding intergation of the curve between any two intervals.
We just had a lecture on this this very same day and got back from it. Didn't understand crap. I watched this video and I have to say you blew me away, in a great way. I understood what we were doing, where they were coming from and to where we were headed. It's as though I'm discovering prescription glasses all over again! :D
very helpful--you don't often see this--i think this wouod have been clearer if cb had defined a general quadrdic p(x) and its integral P(x)-- this might have allowed for a more linier presentation--the joy of youtube is being able to scrub back and forth to clarify
I loved this explanation; I really needed some way to explain the rule. Yet I don't get how come the power rule did not result in a constant after integrating the quadratic function.
