Explanation of Simpson's rule | MIT 18.01SC Single Variable Calculus, Fall 2010

[@beihqbyeweq]

Most professor just stop at the answer, but she went back to the question and summarize the whole thing again. Thank you!

[@Isabel-r4p]

Lovely! It s amazing

[@Nova-Rift]

exactly! amazing

[@fahadalghamdi9316]

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.

[@EigenvectorSeven]

Holy poptarts, I've spent hours agonizing over this stuff for an assignment. These online videos always explain it so lucidly.

[@biggerthaninfinity7604]

This is where the power of MIT comes from. I highly respect you. Thank you!!!

[@softypow]

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!

[@VineetKumar-wp9yr]

It's not her personal channel, She is an instructor at MIT so the video is uploaded by MIT OCW

[@nottyprof]

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.

[@sashasafonova4502]

Loved it when she says "Now, this might not look fun yet..." Of course it looks fun, Dr. Breiner!

[@burgenkinger2856]

The way she gave the lesson is so clear and logical, thanks a lot for this video

[@Mikej1592]

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.

[@georgesadler7830]

Professor Breiner, this is a great explanation and derivation of Simpson's Rule in Calculus. Simpson's Rule is used to approximate definite integrals.

[@Konnoisseur]

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.

[@mryup6100]

I now understand how that formula for simpsons rule cam about! Thank you!

[@theodoresweger4948]

Been watching for years now love the way you explained so clear. Thanks

[@cho.yongjun]

Simple and neat. Thanks a lot, prof. Breiner! You are my savior.

[@cayezara8110]

Amazing explanation! Crystal clear!!! Christine you are gifted.😘

[@debjitpatra3116]

Hi ma'am, I'm Debjit Patra from India, you're just awesome professor, after watching this video, I recommend all my friends to see your videos

[@TurdFurgeson571]

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!

[@macylai7460]

Finally! A video explaining how Simpson's rule works. Other videos only explain how to apply Simpson's rule... Thank you!

[@asaadsalim8099]

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

[@4thesakeofitname]

She has an extremely pleasant and clear handwriting too...

[@cena4023]

this is one of the best maths videos ive ever seen. I would've still understood this if i was in high school

[@howmathematicianscreatemat9226]

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! =]

[@Luponious]

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

[@HimanshuKumar-kl3cc]

IF you read ..you are an awesome instructor .You made it too easy and too simple to learn ..

[@cayezara8110]

Excellent explanation!! MIT has the best teacher/s.

[@anzatzi]

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

[@jellymath]

This is really one of the best explanation videos I have ever watched :O

[@malexmartinez4007]

11:41 "We're getting very close to getting what we want." Didn't know it's so fun to study at MIT.

[@DushyanthEdadasula]

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.

[@b_norhumaira1864]

NOW PEOPLE, THIS. RIGHT HERE. IS HOW YOU TEACH.

[@pipertripp]

This was a really nice, straightforward presentation. Well done!

[@wtlindsley]

Wow! That was like listening to a well-played Bach prelude and fugue. Had no idea calculus could be delivered in such a lovely fashion.

[@tanmayff2011]

Best math proof i have understood

[@nayeefeesawi1411]

You only one who give more explaing .you have great brain.

[@saqifimtiaz573]

O Great Tremendous Way Explanation .......I Just wana Wow.....Such Great Style Of teaching i cant forgot ever in my Life.......

[@itsflyin]

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. (:

[@candychen5108]

Our Calculus professor upload this video on the Internet, I totally understand now

[@karankanojiya8197]

she explains it in a simple manner

[@Trackman2007]

Thank you Jeanna Friske!

[@rodelyriche7922]

she make the theorem very easy to understand

[@OoSpotoO]

Thank you very much, it's explained everything my teacher couldn't!

[@davidfelipemarinrosas]

I'd love to give it like again

[@debjitpatra3116]

And the main attraction is, after finishing the proof, you went back to the problem and again give explanation briefly.

[@mohammedlabeeb]

You are amazing. my favorite teacher

[@Syed-wb8lc]

You cleared my concept about composite Simpson's rule. Thank you wish you good luck and keep up the good work 👏👏💖💖

[@chezul411]

Nice.... I like that you do little bits of error checking along the way.... i try to emphasise that to students.... doesn't always get through.

[@abdelrahmansalah6451]

it seems that she is empowered professor in calculus thanks a lot

[@KristerAxel]

This is fantastic. A wonderful explanation for a bit of mathematic sleight-of-hand.

[@johnliamten]

such clear direction. I'm skipping math as I write this because my classes don't even compare.

[@musikinspace]

She sure can teach the hell out of anything

[@tylerdurden786]

That was brilliant, a good teacher can take a horrible proof and dumb it down for students to grasp, you did exactly that! :)

[@johnleiyagu3349]

This is the best explanation. Thank you so much

[@flavioing1]

Very nice teacher and very good explanation.

[@ikaroar1]

Excelente explicación. Acordar el área entre -h y h, permite simplificar mucho la comprensión de la fórmula.

No wonder great explainers like Feynman and Sal Khan come from MIT.

[@makaaylukumay1064]

I thank my lectures.

[@DrLasker1]

thank you MIT!!

[@mementoaura]

Very straightforward explanation! Thank you :)

[@cliumay9]

6:58 why Ax^3/3+Bx^2/2+Cx jump to 2Ah^3/3+2Ch

[@ryan2t002308400]

i swear, rutgers doesn't teach me crap. i love this video.

[@avral4148]

Simple method with great Mind...

[@utsavutsav5552]

Beautifully explained

[@mrcellophane226]

u must be a god! i mean u really understands math not just saying numbers and symbols but u can see what behind that

[@hariigaire]

I find perfect video. Thanks MIT

[@andrewlamboff4802]

Amazing professor, thank you so much!

[@fatimahosman7476]

Vay...vay...vay...vay .....bravo Dr.Breiner

[@naman4067]

Wow great explanation I never say that often.

[@asznman]

@OpenTheTrollGate it didnt turn into h/3(2Ah^2+4c). it became h/3((y0)+(y2)-2(y1)+6(y1)) since she substituted the 2Ah^2 and C

[@elsbbbb1]

Thank you ,that was a very clear explanation.

[@postbodzapism]

I think Simpson's rule is originally a result of Archimedes plus area of trapezium

[@kkrkkr7510]

Very energetic and nice professor

[@debasmitade3474]

Wow..this is the best tutorial to understand Simpson's and how it works..Addition of Composite Simpson's would have made it more useful ..Thanks xx

[@hovhanneskostandyan8015]

I'm glad to see more and more women in stem professions Go girl!!!!!!!

[@B38132]

She is indeed a very bright woman.

[@abdelhalimriah8133]

Thank you very much. you professor made it easy to understand. Thanks again.

[@edwardkinyua6023]

Very very helpful. simple and worth while.

[@libertyomasanjuwa1136]

Excellent Teacher. Please Kindly keep it up.

[@Bdcorpuschristi]

Thank you; this issue nhas been nagging my intuition for years. I can now put it to rest.

[@stewartwright4887]

Great explanation

[@gomemego3417]

thank you for this fruitful explanation

[@MarkDC734]

she sooo coooool!

[@sabatonchik]

@PmQable1 whatever, she put it perfectly together, much better than my professor, so i don't care

[@four-s3194]

Amazing lesson, but what about the coefficient of 2 in between the 4s?

[@syamnanungoemar5417]

Thanks for the explanation.

[@enyewtariku162]

rely, I can not express your lecture.thanks a lot.

[@TopOyster]

Thank you for the refresher! 👏👏👏

[@hosaamalama7820]

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.

[@alexung2897]

Thank you for making mathematic so fun and understanding!

[@truthjunkie3]

I'd prefer if you didn't start with the answer and try to work your way back as a goal. Just solve it and reduce it to come up with the rule.

[@francisdrake7000]

pure magic my friends

[@AJ-et3vf]

Awesome video! Thank you!

[@oss4387]

a great explanation, thanks.

Maravillosa explicación...

[@mistervoldemort7540]

Perfectly well explained, thanks

[@NguyenThanh-xt3yi]

thank you for this explanation

[@adityatile1168]

Awww, her smile is so cute :)

[@BigHeartBreak93]

That was a great example of teaching:) Thank you a lot!

[@absurdite657]

what would have I done if mit did not release the lectures in youtube

[@aminlakzian]

I really needed this. thanks

[@yangmingguan8953]

Thanks for the explain the details.
