Hi, I’m Krista! I make math courses to keep you from banging your head against the wall. ;)
Math class was always so frustrating for me. I’d go to a class, spend hours on homework, and three days later have an “Ah-ha!” moment about how the problems worked that could have slashed my homework time in half. I’d think, “WHY didn’t my teacher just tell me this in the first place?!”
So I started tutoring to keep other people out of the same aggravating, time-sucking cycle. Since then, I’ve recorded tons of videos and written out cheat-sheet style notes and formula sheets to help every math student-from basic middle school classes to advanced college calculus-figure out what’s going on, understand the important concepts, and pass their classes, once and for all.

I like how you don't skip any steps. I learn really well because of that! THANKS AGAIN!

[@AGNIVO-kf2bl]

Can you please specify why dx.dy gets replaced by rdrd(theta) ?

[@HackingDutchman]

Great video, very clear instructions! I like that every single step gets explained, even those well known little ones, so you can't overlook anything.

[@drewsteps]

Your explanation is clear, thorough and succinct. I've never seen that before for math videos. Please post more videos.

Great timing! :)

[@r.f2173]

thanks, this helped. My Calc 2 prof last year skipped polar coordinates altogether so now I'm figuring this out on my own

Excellent video. 5 *'s. You really helped me understand integration where you've to convert co-ordinates from Cartesian -> Polar. Thank you so much. The folks crying about the limits being 4 rather than 2, cause u=r^2 may be correct, but they're just being pedantic imo. You still got the right answer!

[@marcibelasky2862]

If using the u substitution don't we have to change our interval? So in our case we would have to put our intervals (0,2) into u and we would get a new interval (0,4) with which we continue to calculate.

Josue Gomez You're welcome, I'm so glad it made sense!

[@staydank420]

Great video!! One thing I noticed though: when you u-substitute for r^2, you didn't find new bounds of integration in terms of u and therefore wrote a false statement by leaving the bounds in terms of r. You rectified your mistake in the next line but my calculus professor will mark points off for that on an exam and I am hyper-vigilant of that mistake. He said to, in the least, leave it as an indefinite integral until you back-substitute for u.

[@h3nnn4n]

I noticed that too.

[@ashutosharya6221]

Derrek Schmitz , you are right after substitution, we have to make changes in limits according to the substitution.

[@robconnell5549]

Yes. The dud(theta) upper integral limits(just above the centre of the screen view) of the right integral sign should be 4. Krista corrects it on the next line when she goes back to using 'r' and using 2 for the upper integral. Now hopefully this will help solving an integral equation using the angle 'theta' to get a 2d solution of a second order random field. We will see....

[@acealexander6852]

I've always re-subbed the U value back in and then evaluated for the variable in this case r. it works both ways.

[@riteshpatidar9184]

Yea..

[@kristakingmath]

Awww thank you so much, I'm happy to help! :D

[@justinnussbaum6550]

Just a bit of advice to make this a little easier. Rather than integrating between -Pi/2 to Pi/2, you can integrate from 0 to Pi. It will make evaluating the integral much easier and will result in the same answer. If you are shifting the limits, there is the same distance between those points. If you can make 0 as your lower limit, evaluating your integral will be much easier and less of a chance to make a mistake.

[@uhuihiuihiuh3042]

You can also go from 0 to pi/2 and multiply by 2 before evaluating the integral so you get the proper area. The 2 and the -1/2 cancel out which leaves a - hanging out front. This way the only fraction you deal with is the pi/2 and like you said, using 0 as the lower bound simplifies the work load a lot.
