There's always that one guy in class: "What was the question?" 3:04

[@JazieChristine]

I too have to sit in a 2 hour algebra classes, twice a week. This short video has taught me wayyy more than what I've managed to grasp from class these past couple of weeks. Just thought I'd add that. So yeah thanks again :D

[@yaymath]

Hi Christine, thanks so much for your message. I'm happy you added :-) I could visit your school, if your school arranges for speakers

[@qbwkp]

+yaymath can you visit my school? P.S i live in sweden....... Kappa

[@samtavoosian3059]

yaymath bro you are awesome! Thanks again

[@christopherm8804]

I discovered your videos this past summer while re-taking Intermediate Algebra for the 3rd time - The first two times I just didn't apply myself. Have my College Algebra Final tomorrow and I just wanted to say thanks. Keep up the great work.

[@taylorr5880]

I was completely lost in class and I understand this completely now thank you so much :) you saved my pre calc grade.

[@MissWiznerd]

Why don't I have a teacher that makes it this simple!!!

[@anipit]

Fled From Nowhere fu..ck off racist !

[@cdharley88]

You taught me more in 17 mins than my teacher has taught me all year!!!

[@edenfry6355]

yes yes

[@livfrazier6295]

Thanks to you, I scored a 36 on the math portion of the ACT. Thank you. :)

[@yaymath]

Hi Olivia, GREAT JOB! Such great news!

[@SharkPotatoGuy]

My Trigonometry teacher didn't teach my block section about this, and he made us take a test about it; even though I know nothing about this. So I'm really glad I watched this, and it made me view logarithms on a simpler level now! Thanks for this and keep it up!

[@INeed333Quid]

I had to self learn all of this about 2 years ago, and understood it all and everything, but never had a good way to remember how to rearrange logs ahha. When I found this I was looking for something completely different, but saw how good a teacher he is, so decided to watch it anyway since I was taking a food break aha. really really good teacher, i'm at uni at the moment doing electrical engineering, struggling with the maths because i never had a good maths teacher that explained things so you could understand through school, college or sixth form. It's really important to understand this stuff early, so you're doing a good service sir, keep it up (Y).

[@yaymath]

INeed333Quid Thanks so much for reaching out and sharing.

[@momentjoyous5347]

Pp b he

[@DanielReyes1]

+INeed333Quid how's it going in maths for you? I am going to start electrical engineering in a few months and I had poor math teachers in the past as well.

[@kelliscott3904]

I just have to say thank you so much. I have been sitting in my College Algebra class in total confusion and stressing about my final. I have learned more in this 17 minute video than I have in the last few weeks of class. Again, thank you

[@stevedl3150]

The best teachers of Maths and Science always seem to have an air of eccentricity about them, I think. Oh, they also sometimes end up writing to all intents and purposes vertically as opposed to horizontally. Ergo this chap has hit the nail on the head. Great work, and most appreciated.

[@catriona5268]

I have a test on Tuesday on logorithms and exponents (and probability) and this video has been an incredibly helpful review. I wish I were in your class - we have fun too, and a great teacher, but you make it so simple. Maybe now I will pass :D Although, our questions are a bit harder, so applying the theory might still be difficult.

[@Diaming787]

I wish you were the teacher at my school!

[@grammarstation6325]

Diaming787 same here

[@King-eg8qn]

Watching this before my final cause I don't know what the fuck this is

[@Shyzah]

same

[@Katatonya]

+Kevin Martinez, Same here xD

[@arashaadd]

same lmao

[@josevalencia2783]

bro 😂

[@abd2910]

same at 2018 hehehe

[@Fanpireme12]

wow i understood more in your 17-minute lecture than an hour's worth of my math teacher. thank you so much!

[@user-cx1qm3ss3f]

I have never seen such a understanding and sympathetic MATH teacher. You make sure everyone understands every step of the way, which is so nice to see nowadays.

[@Chinunit22]

This guy is awesome, his teaching sure a great review for my Algebra exams

[@aaroncampos5439]

You are totally doing God's work.

[@iranarellano5461]

you > my teacher

[@NaijaAndLoviinIt]

Yaymath= math teacher intensified

[@elijah9146]

Ben is a lifesaver!

[@brilliance__]

i'm a college freshman and just watched both videos on logarithms and this literally made no sense to me in all my four years until now. i have a test tomorrow that determines whether or not i pass :3 wish me luck and thanks so much for helping me. you did a lot better job than my professor.

[@intricatejayee]

You sir, are a god! Ive been using your videos as my aid and it's been helping me through this. What's funny is that we have a break in between classes, and once the teacher leaves the room, we pop open KZbin and watch your explanation. Thank you! And please keep doing what you're doing!

[@rodriguezg100]

I understood everything so well but I bet I will forget everything when the test comes. that's my life -.-

[@TamImBlessed]

Don't say that to yourself girl, You're good, you're brilliant, you can do it. Please just try and speak positive about yourself, even me I was a victim of that, but I'm out of it. Just believe in yourself okay, you can always do it.

[@johncox8938]

Doing a good job there, fellow math instructor. I’ve been doing this for 25 years.....and the method just doesn’t change......and the kids don’t either. Their faces just look different every year.

[@yaymath]

Math is timeless, even though new concepts are being discovered every new generation. Thanks for your message, John. Honored to be your colleague.

[@beasterbunny217]

Oh my goodness, I love you right now. I've never had a math teacher I actually thought related to me. Thank you for going slow and building your way up to the harder stuff, math can be easy AND FUN if taught in the right way. Keep it up :)

[@84amandab]

Math is awesome when you teach. Your students are lucky to have you and will be thanking you when they start uni and don't have to fake it and watch youtube videos for several hours every evening.

[@curioussteve]

THANKS TO YAY MATH FOR HELPING ME PASS ENGLISH TOLC-E EXAM IN ITALY

[@curioussteve]

NICE

[@Monia3msc]

i understood what you were doing and saying! The way you explain it is so simple and it makes it easy to understand! I wish my teacher would explain things the same way! You're a life saver! Thank you!

[@peniletouch]

Thank you so much. I'm in a Calculus class and it has been years since I've taken College Algebra or Pre-Cal so I forgot all about Logarithms. This helped immensely and I now feel confident in continuing with the calc course.

[@DCCLovesYou]

THIS GUY IS SUCH A GOOD TEACHER!

[@rojoflores1965]

I am so grateful for your videos! You teach this subject so much clearer than my college professor.

[@davidgedlinskeiii6421]

Thank you so much! I just got out of the military and am taking my first Math class in 15 years (precalculus...wtf), and I was really having trouble. I found your TED lecture and video series, and now I'm not just passing my class, but I have conquered the anxiety, and I actually enjoy the challenge of solving the equations! Thank you again, and keep up the good work! You make me want to be a teacher.

[@Netbook451]

I love all the examples you showed in the video, this'll surely help with my math final tomorrow! Thank you!

[@quantroots]

I've never smiled so much while simultaneously enjoying a math video.

[@christineking5017]

You are an awesome teacher! Thank you so much for sharing yourself with the rest of the world!

[@joelf1072]

Thank you yayMath you always have the solution of my problems.... I love your videos and I like the way you teach!!!

[@fisticuf]

I know you get this all the time but you really are a life saver. As a student, and as a teacher - thank you.

[@sscc587]

Amazing teacher! Love his personality too!

[@KrazieSevin]

This guy is great for people with attention deficit disorder, kids with ADD or ADHD could certainly pay attention to this guy and absorb everything he has to say.

[@UnKnownn2520]

First video didn't was cut short but thank you so much for posting full vids. I can not thank you enough. I was so upset but now i'm very happy you guys rock!

[@patipami78]

I think your videos are both extremely helpful and entertaining. Thanks for sharing these lectures with us.

[@nailluverrr955]

I'm so happy I found your videos they are so helpful. I'm being completely serious, it's 9:30 at night and I have a test tomorrow on this stuff. Lets just say i've learned more from you in the past 30 minutes then I have from teacher in the past week.

[@24gabz]

Teaching math is boring without fun. Credits to this teacher.

[@marymsd1]

AKOSI gab teaching without fun in general is not fun smart one.

[@Tucxy10]

You really explained it well. I'm just getting ahead of the class because stuff is easy right now (for me) now I can make it easier, this is a nice tool.

[@lindseyhaakenson1739]

Thank you so much for posting these videos! I am drowning in my college level precalc class because these are all concepts that I should already know but have forgotten in the last 10 years. This is a perfect refresher!

[@NelsonBlandonArceda]

Excelente, muy fácil de aprender. ¡Felicidades! Saludos, desde Managua, Nicaragua.

[@SharingMyManySkills]

This helped to understand the basis of this topic, and I'm 47, in a college math class, and this is entirely new to me. Thank you.

[@makkam999]

yaymath thank you so much the way you explained B.E.N helped me soooo much!!

[@tingwu5350]

OMG!! Thank you so much. I was struggling in algebra 2 so much. Thanks to you I'm getting better at it now.

[@juliehadley8336]

Thank you for being an awesome teacher! So helpful

[@mariapreston84]

Thank you. I am in college algebra and was looking for a no nonsense refresher and found it. Thanks again.

[@KenziJade96]

I just learned more in 17 minutes than what I did in my two hour college algebra class yesterday. Thank you so much!

[@DomMorelli]

These videos are great. I take Math 124 in College and these videos help me more than my "professor" ! Thank you

[@walkerdrae]

you are an awesome teacher!!! thank you for making this so easy to understand

[@johnrutland5663]

very knowledgeable, the reason he can make math fun. he don' t have to concentrate ,and this makes room for the humor ,that students enjoy!

[@PolloFritodelSol]

I am understanding the material and I find it very cool to learn. These videos really help! Thank you yaymath! One of the best things is that the students ask some of the questions I would be asking for clarification.

[@jonathannarvaez9117]

Best teacher ever. Thank you so much. Not to many teacher explain like you.. 💯

[@JazieChristine]

Dang why don't I ever get teachers like you? Lol if I'm not interested or my attention isnt captured like this I don't put too much effort to learn in class. This is how I ended up here. Thank you very much for all your help and humor. YAY MATH!

[@Jackiplier]

Your math class really loves you!

[@foothill3800]

you make everything crystal clear thank you so much!

[@kandigurl505]

Love it... you explained everything I wanted to know... finals week is here and this is one tough cookie to get... but i got it... thanks im good in English just not in math.... so i hate math.... but you answered all my questions

[@krystabutts8449]

your the best teacher....my math teacher sucks lol

[@hunterxdante_]

This helped me with my algebra functions class. thanks dude!

[@MrGuardsec]

i wish i could have a Prof like you.. you can explain everything fluently.. REPLACE MY PROF.

[@reillyt.1886]

thank you so much. you just made me not fail haha. my class doesn't have a teacher so we rely on internet tutorials and yours has just been my lord and savior

[@TamImBlessed]

Wow! really enjoyed your teaching, especially your BEN formula made it so simple for me

[@caesar1752]

Wowz something I deemed hard just became easy !

[@jasminethompson6267]

Great video! Really helped THANK YOU

[@worldwithoutbass]

Just logged in to tell you how much of a big help you were. In a short 17 min video you explained something that my teacher explained in a very weird way. So thank you for all the help you've been. Wish you were my teacher :D

[@dzulandroid2012]

Best simple teacher have I seen 👍🏻👍🏻

[@jbjbhbkhb154]

The best math teacher ever!!!

[@martinemaganga2546]

I really appreciated your teaching process, real you are a good teacher

[@rodsam3312]

I like how you teach to a live classroom. It really gives you alot of credibility

[@Jessyanimedrawer]

Bless you i have a quiz tomorrow and this just saved my whole soul

[@fionasaiter1902]

Great videos! So helpful.

[@yoramgondwe]

i enjoyed learning from you seriously

[@MissCandii22]

all of your log videos were extremely helpful... I scored 100 on my math exam and I know I couldn't of done it without you. Thankyou so much :)

[@Gxb9000]

lol never i thought ill say i love a math teacher.... i love you man

[@Aquaria]

OMG--meeting B^e=N was the one "shortcut" that made it all make sense at last. My textbook had b^x=y, and then all these bubbles below to explain what each component meant. It was classic forest for the trees stuff, when they could have been this straightforward.

[@shynangeliedesabille5441]

Wow i love how you teach. So fun!

[@leidianavaldes4213]

I wish I have a teacher like that ..!!! I understood everything. .those guys have no idea of how lucky they are ! My teacher doesn't even speaks English and even in Spanish , people doesn't understand him... I really want to learn ...

[@brahimbrian3568]

this teacher is a genius, thank you so much now i understand logs

[@shazib1081]

Sir you are one of the best teacher I ever saw !! and your explanation are EXCELLENT !! and seriously thank you so much. Sir you helped me alot !!! :)

[@MultiNikeman123]

Love your teaching , your a really good guy :D

[@alanfernandes4521]

One of the world's best teachers.

[@marquezca1]

Thank you! I like the "introduction to BEN" (B^E=N). That helps SOOO much. Just like the story about a boy helped with memorizing the quadratic equation.

[@tnguyko]

Omg he is so funny! And so patient! Answering the same questions over and over lol

[@Janky0010]

Dude thank you very much. Been having problems with that rule and my name is BEN so never gonna forget it. Thanks

[@yaymath]

You're so very welcome. It's an honor to create something that helps you.

[@shaamdora]

That was a great lesson. Thank you.

[@icaromarques7322]

you are a magnificent math teacher.

[@platinumline3721]

Thank you , you were so helpful!

[@srecords09]

thank you for this video..it's easier than I thought seriously thank you so much!

[@msgermain2010]

yaymath I wish you were my math teacher in high school. You make every math problem less intimidating.

[@WhereTheLoud]

this video saved my life, thank you

[@noorafzaal3903]

I wish I had a math teacher like him 😣 u r amazing 👍👍👏

[@AutumnRaine1]

Thank you. Without these videos, I wouldn't have gotten an A in math.
