I'm nearly a Certified Public Accountant and I've had at least 7 math teachers fail at teaching me basic calculus. After just an hour of watching your vids, I feel as if I've just undone the accumulated stress that has plagued me since I was a junior in high school. Thank you so freaking much.
Hi Patrickjmt! Thank you for helping me get through high school and college! Graduated with a BA in stats and mathematics. Couldn't have done it without you and these life saving videos!
@neelo4 we are assuming y in defined in terms of x in these cases; in the multivariable case, both variables are independent. you should review implicit diff from calc 1 if you are confused
This video is older than me i am a high schooler and studying about derivatives and i was looking for a video to understand more and here i found a video that was published before i was even born thats impressive
I want to give you a huge thanks for helping me with my calculus because you explain everything so well and I understand the material because of you. I really appreciate what you are doing i am so thankful i found you!
Thank you!! I've been having difficulty paying attention in calc class; it's much easier learning through your videos at home :) Saved me from falling behind in calculus!
You're amazing! You taught me derivatives in about maybe an hour and my prof took about two weeks trying do it and still failed at it :s Thank you ! :D
Wow, you teach so much better than my teacher. :) Thanks for the videos and help. I can't understand anything my teacher goes through, she goes to fast, even if I tell her to slow down. You take it step by step and make it easy, Thanks!
THANK YOU SO MUCH my math teacher teaches me a defrent way and I cant seem to learn from his understanding, but you on the other hand just nail it in my brain I really appreciate it.
My Cal1 teacher just taught us this a few days and I didn't understand a thing that was going. Thanks so much for that moment of clarity and understanding. Love from Barbados!!!!
you basiclly are a lifesaver! you got me through grade 12 calc last year and are saving me in first year university calc this year!! my mom said i should get a tutor, but i told her i already found one lol THANK YOU!
i wish i hadn't of wasted hours staring blankly at lecture notes and my textbook, didn't realise how simple this was. I plan on learning my entire course in 1 day, thanks to your videos!
I just wanted to say thanks for all of your videos! With finals coming up this week, its hard to remember all the different types of problems we did over the term and these videos really help refresh my memory. & if I so happen to get an A, I'd like to thank you for helping me! thanks again :D
You're great, before, I'm confused on how to answer the equations that related to implicit differentiation, but when I watched this video, amazing, I'm easily understand the concept of implicit differentiation, even before, I'm watching your videos, thank you so much for your teaching here in RU-vid.
@9RUTZER my fide title is: big fish. i do not play tourneys, although i am pretty sure i could at least make FM without too much difficulty if i tried, although i play less and less nowadays.
hey this was nicely explained. My cal professor is notorious for starting with advanced examples. I don't find that starting with an advanced example to demonstrate the basic ideas, and method is a very good idea (probably why so many people fail...). This, however, starts at a basic level and actually explains each step. Good job sir!
This is the first of your videos that I have watched, and I must say you explained this VERY well. FAR better than my prof's rant. I understood this concept already after the first example and did the second one myself and got the same answer as you. Also my midterm is in 2 days so you saved my ass haha :) thanks a lot for the video!
Wow, Mr. Patrick, you really have saved us once again, especially me personally. I walked out of the BC Calculus class REALLY confused on Implicit Differenciation and you really opened my eyes and made everything SOOO clear and EASY!! Thank you, and I have an exam in the morning!! :) Thanks so much again, you saved me one hour of lecture!!!
i used to live at the small heine bros coffee shop on bardstown road next to ramseys (that place even still there?) i played chess 90% of the time i was there though
Hi patrick JMT am in grade 10 and we are in our 3rd semester, I know I have not yet reach a certain age fo for calculus but I wanna go far in my studies, your examples is fabulous
@gethisoverwithit Ok, soo =D you start off with your x^(1/2) + y^(1/2) = 1 and then you take the derivative, making sure not to forget to place your (dy/dx) next to any y terms (1/2)x^(-1/2) + (1/2)y^(-1/2)(dy/dx) = 0 now just move all your non-dy/dx terms to the right (1/2)y^(-1/2)(dy/dx) =(-1/2)x^(-1/2)
