History of Calculus: Part 3 - The Historical Motivation

[@bigmoneymose]

I love your style. You don't dumb down the concepts but instead find ways of communicating the concepts that are accessible. It is a pleasure to learn this history from you.

[@tareksaid81]

Thanks for your kind words. I am glad that you found it easy to understand and not dumbed down :) I believe that this is the power of the history of mathematics. When mathematical ideas were first conceived, they generally were intuitive and not too abstract. They only became more complex and abstract after they evolved. I really believe that the most complex/abstract concepts in mathematics become really easy to understand once we look at them from a historical perspective.

[@lioncaptive]

Historical facts are the best approach to learning subjects of complexity.

[@Jose_814]

He is definitely an example of a perfect human

[@omarnassery7280]

I completely agree.

[@December314]

I wish you were my math teacher when I was young. I hope you will have the passion, the motivation and the discipline to continue making these videos.

[@tareksaid81]

Thanks and you are right, these three things are very much needed for the journey of making videos and I am determined to continue :)

[@mariusmarius3628]

1. Tarek, first of all, congratulations for your outstanding work. I really like your videos very much. Please keep on posting. 2. A little piece of advice from a humble and still small KZbinr: to avoid your (still) unlisted videos being found and watched, do not link them to any of your public playlists when you upload them. If any given playlist of yours is public and if you upload a new video, keep it unlisted but link it to that playlist, then that video will be accessible through that public playlist. Until you finish reviewing your videos, you can try marking them "private" instead of "unlisted". Or, better yet, don't link them to any of your playlists until you decide to make them public. 3. Looking forward to seeing the next episodes of your amazing series 👍

[@tareksaid81]

​@@mariusmarius3628 Thanks, I’m glad you like the series. I’m currently working on the upcoming video. Hopefully you would like it too. I suspected that was the case regarding the public list for an unlisted video.. Thanks for confirming it. All the best with your channel :)

[@markseidel19]

This is how calculus should be taught. Motivating the question/problem, finding attempts at a solution, modifying the question, cycle repeats. Nowadays kids are just spoon-fed tricks and tools without understanding where it came from, why it's useful, and how to apply it. Your videos not only explain the topic better but also give the audience a curiosity and passion for math.

[@tareksaid81]

Thanks Mark, I am glad you liked the video. I remember when we first studied calculus in school I used to always ask "why? how? what for? etc". My aim/hope in this channel is to answer those questions

If people like you taught maths people would never hate maths. Iam a physics graduate. I really adore and enjoy the beauty of mathematics. But some times i do feel exhausted by the amount i have to study. But videos like this reminds me, why i study this subject. It reigintes that passion i have for studying. Thank you for sharing this. Please continue the series. We are waiting.❤

[@tareksaid81]

Thanks for the thoughtful comment. I really appreciate it. I relate to your experience. Mathematics was my favourite subject for a long time but then it started getting more and more abstract and became more about memorising rules without having any intuition behind them, and gradually I lost interest. I got the interest back when I stated reading the history of mathematics and thought of doing videos about it. I am working on the upcoming video. I am planning to publish two together. Thanks for the encouragement, comments like yours really keep me going

[@kenkiarie]

You are an amazing orator. Every statement said is a bullet of information, dense and precise.

[@mrshodz]

Could you possibly do a video how Hindu Mathematician worked out the series for Sine, Tan, Cosine and the Taylor series and infinite series for calculating areas under curves from a historical perspective please.

[@tareksaid81]

Absolutely, as mentioned in the other comment, I will have a special video about the work of Aryabhata, Madhava and others in the school of Kerala for Astronomy and Mathematics. I will focus mainly on the series you talked about. My understanding though is that they didn't view their work as areas under curves though, but more as interpolation of these functions

[@pdirac4909]

Terrific explanation. Looking forward to your description of differential and partial differential equations.

[@tareksaid81]

Thanks.. I will definitely be talking about differential equations and partial different equations. Probably in a separate series

[@franksatya5680]

Thank you so much Tarek. I can only imagine the amount of time you have dedicated to producing these beautiful and powerful videos. They flow out of the screen so clearly and naturally that the effort required to produce them is completely invisible. Because we receive the information so easily it creates the illusion that they were easily created. I suspect that they are in fact the product of many many many hours of concentration and hard work. (coupled with your gift as a teacher) I am a 55 year old who is only now learning calculus, and I found your videos to be incredible. I absolutely love them. Thanks again.

[@tareksaid81]

What a lovely comment! I really appreciate it. You are right, these video took a lot of time to make hence the delay between them. My aim/hope it to make them as smooth as possible but I always have doubts whether I am achieving this goal and whether it is worth the effort. But then I see comments like yours that really inspire me and motivate me to keep going. Thanks a lot. It is great that you are learning calculus and that these videos are helping you, I hope you would like future videos in the series too. p.s. apologies about the late response, I have been off my channel for a while but now I am back on track :)

[@SonamBashi]

Great work! A few years back, I went through the original English translation of Euler's book on Algebra. The way he explained is to start with a very simple and easy to understand proposition, which he then builds on to a new concept through a process of iteration and expansion in a very logical and discrete steps. In a sense, his teaching flows like a mathematical dialog between the reader and the teacher each step of the way. To digress a bit, this method of exposition is akin to the way the Buddha also expounded many profound teachings. Your way of exposition of mathematical concepts is similar to Euler's. Thank you.

[@tareksaid81]

Wow. Thanks a lot for such a lovely comment. I read another book by Euler: "Introduction to the Analysis of the Infinite" and I was shocked by its simplicity and ease of understanding and it was definitely an inspiration for me. I am not aware of Buddha's teaching method I am now very intrigued. Do you recommend any books? Thanks :)

[@VarunKini]

Tarek, you have no idea how influential your work has been for me. I always wanted to learn physics, mathematics and philosphy through the lens of history because mordern science tends to overcomplicate things which leads people to lose interest. The way I found your video was also by chance that I decided to learn more about what a log is during my vacation, and stumbled upon calculus! Thank you so much for making these videos and have definitely subscribed to you and will be looking forward to your next video!

Thanks a lot for your lovely comment. It really means a lot to me and apologies about the late reply, I have been off my channel for a while but now I am back on track :) I totally agree with you how modern science tends to overcomplicate things. Also, it tends to remove any human element from the picture and be content with dry, abstract information. I am so glad that found that channel and I hope you will like future videos too!

Such a beautiful explanation. I agree on your perspective on history. Newton used euclidean geometry in his Principia. It makes it easier to understand mathemtics with a historical perspective, for example how the Hindu mathematician worked out square roots geometrically. This video is up there with 3Blue1Brown.

[@tareksaid81]

Thanks.. Indeed, Newton did not use calculus in his Principia, he used euclidean geometry. I am very fascinated with the work of Indian mathematicians such as Aryabhata and Madhava and I was planning to include their work in this video but then I realised it would become too long and make the story more complicated. So I decided to do a special video about their work as it is gives a different perspective on calculus. Thanks, 3b1b has been a massive inspiration for this channel :)

[@spamspam4117]

Please continue with the series! As a lecturer, I see this as such an insightful approach - the historical context is so rich and interesting, as it shows how much more thought and ingenuity was needed to discover things, which later turn out to feel so simple. Building from the bottom up is the story that repeats so often in the history of science. It's all about standing on the shoulders of giants, and the journey was long. For example, arithmetics and analysis were extremely limited by not having a proper notation - math with words is difficult. Getting a zero, proper numerals, and proper symbols and equations, and boom, algebra and analysis explodes into existence. Similar for the concept of coordinate grid - so trivial now, but without it, geometry was disjoint from mathematics, and couldn't benefit from it.

[@tareksaid81]

Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment! I completely agree, learning the history of ideas really puts things into perspective and makes understanding so much deeper. I’m currently working on the series, and while it’s taking me a lot of time, comments like yours inspire me to keep going. It’s fascinating how something as simple as proper notation or the coordinate grid revolutionised mathematics. I remember learning in the philosophy of mathematics that notation not only helped in communicating ideas, but it also shaped how we think about mathematics

After years of thinking I got a decent HS math education I see this and now feel cheated, again. I had the same feeling some years ago when I learned about mental math. And then even more so in 2022 when I learned the abacus and was adding faster than a calculator. Oh the time wasted with the official right-to-left plodding. Affordable electronoic calculators were not availble until after I graduated high school. In 1975 I paid $75 ( on sale half off!) which is $467 in today's dollars for a calculator with math and trig functions. A HP calculator was about $3,000 adjusted for inflation.

I believe that the education system is designed just to get students by. I noticed that all my deep understanding of various topics occurred outside school when I did my own research and wasn't limited by time or by exam scores

[@SpiderHaus]

These videos are excellent, really clear and interesting, thank you! I hope you find the time to continue them!

[@tareksaid81]

Thanks, I really appreciate your comment and I am working on them whenever I find time. I am currently working on parts 4 and 5. I hope you would like them :)

[@jessojohn9226]

waiting for next video

[@tareksaid81]

Coming soon. Will be releasing parts 4 and 5 together as part 4 will be a short transitional one

[@chriss7608]

Make the next one I’m so eager😢

[@tareksaid81]

I am working on it. Message like yours motivate me. Thanks a lot :)

Nice :)

Please second time explain x and y or cartesian plane why minus and negative corsider them

[@tareksaid81]

I am not sure I full understand you comment. Do you mean that I should have explained the cartesian plane more?

[@muqtarjamaegal6071]

@tareksaid81 yes why it has four sides2 negative sides and 2 positive sides according to to y and x +y, -y, +x. -×. Why

[@tareksaid81]

It might be difficult to explain via a comment but I’ll try. Originally there was only one quadrant. The positive one, or the top right one. But when negative numbers were considered, the number lines were extended to include negative numbers too. So the X axis was extended to the left, and the Y axis was extended to the bottom. Thus, we now consider 4 quadrants. I hope that helps :)

Waaaaaaaah! When is the next video?!😫

[@tareksaid81]

I am working on it constantly. I will be releasing videos 4 and 5 of the series together. I hope you would like them

[@DEEPAKPAL01]

Wow great style of presenting and superior research on the topic. This changes how one understands calculus in a very positive way. How do you create such visualisations? They are stunning. If possible, please do let me know the software/program name.

[@tareksaid81]

Thanks Deepak, I am really glad you liked the videos. I used different softwares. For the logarithms video I used only PowerPoint. It is definitely not the best animation software when it comes to more complex animations but it was the only software I knew how to use at the time. In the last video(calculus 3) I used PowerPoint, After Effects and Desmos, depending on what I wanted to animate. I hope this helps :)

isnt more accurate to say mass instead of weight? at 14:21

[@tareksaid81]

Yes, indeed, you are right. To keep things more intuitive, I used the colloquial meaning of weight, not the scientific one. To be more scientific though, the term mass is more accurate

Why did you stop making the videos? You will fulfill your goal of 100,000 viewership only with persistence and consistency. You have already taken the first steps to climb the mountain; please keep climbing. I assume it took you many hours of persistence and consistent practices to achieve your command on mathematics. The same goes for your success in KZbin viewership.

[@tareksaid81]

You are totally right. I have to keep making videos and be consistent to reach any goal. I haven't stopped planning and thinking about the videos. It just takes a lot of focus and time. Things I find very rarely nowadays particularly as I run my own business. Thanks for the encouragement though. I am currently working on parts 4 and 5 together and will publish them asap. I hope you will like them

[@chrisdsouza8685]

It has been 8 months since you released this video. I think you have given up on KZbin as a means of communicating with an appropriate audience. It is a great pity, because your presentation is outstanding.

[@tareksaid81]

I know it has been a very long time. I am trying my best to not leave such long gaps between my videos! The good news is that I haven't given up at all. I think about and plan the upcoming videos all the time. It just takes a lot of focus and time. Things I find very rarely nowadays particularly as I run my own business. Thanks for the kind words. I am currently working on parts 4 and 5 together and will publish them asap. I hope you will like them :)

The first minute of this video is incorrect. There were enough Indian mathematicians who develops rules of calculus at least 3 times and a 1000 years before Newton and Leibniz.

[@josephmalone253]

Who were the top Indian calculus people?

[@tareksaid81]

Indian mathematicians, particularly Aryabhata and mathematicians in Kerala school of mathematics, have indeed done amazing work which can be thought of as a predecessor to calculus. However, they were interested in studying functions and not curves. Also, their calculus was more about analysing specific functions like sine(x) and cos(x) but it wasn't generalisable which meant that it could not be extended to other functions. Still it was an amazing work and I will be talking about their calculus in a later video in the series

[@tomaszwywrot6132]

From your argument it can be inferred that it was Keppler who overthrew the geocentric, Ptolemaic system of planetary motion, which is obviously not true. Keppler discovered the 3 laws of planetary motion (elliptical orbit). You used too much of a mental shortcut to go from the ancient system of planetary motion to Keppler's laws of motion. There would be no Kepler without Copernicus, who refuted the ancient system of planetary motion in the solar system.

[@tareksaid81]

I did mention in the video that Kepler was a "Copernican". And while it is true that Copernicus was the first to suggest the heliocentric model of the solar system in modern times (it was earlier suggest by Aristachus of Samos in the 3rd century BC), his model wasn't widely accepted until the discoveries of Kepler. Since the video is about the history of studying curves and not about the history of the solar system, I couldn't go into all the details of the evolution of our understanding of the solar system

[@tomaszwywrot6132]

@@tareksaid81 yeah, let's not take shortcuts by using superficially discoveries to describe other discoveries and theories. The work that Copernicus did was unimaginable even by today's intellectual standards, or perhaps especially so. It was not only about the solar system as it is, Copernicus was able to initially understand the size of the Universe. Copernicus was a genius without whom there would be no general relativity and many other brilliant things, and Tycho Brahe was a lost scientist trying to merge geocentric with heliocentric theories. Kepler did some fine tuning of theories for sure. Anyway, good luck with your YT channel.
