I’ve viewed your TEDx vid on quantum physics over and over. At 68 years old, it gives me the feeling that i experienced as a child staring at the sky and thinking about the concept of infinity. How wonderous and mysterious is this reality! Thank you for opening up new doors of perception.

[@planktonfun1]

I don't know why educational facilities don't bother to make visuals as everyday learning material. they like to encrypt things and hope that we unencrypt them and learn it. its an inefficient learning process given to what technology we have today.

[@iwillmakeit821]

Hieroglyphics

[@shivam5105]

But the process of understanding and internalising the so called “encryptions” is the true beauty of maths and science, the visuals can come later to understand the physical meaning of what you are doing during maths, a great example of this is 3blue1brown, because when you are working with maths and science in industry or in academia, the problems aren’t so available in visual format, you have to understand what the problem is asking and try different techniques to figure out, and you would only be able to use these techniques if you made an attempt to understand and internalise them yourself instead of being handed everything on a platter

[@ozymandias8523]

Oh, how I wish I had this explanation back in the Seventies when I was in Highschool. It would have saved years of anguish. So clear and informative.

[@Sfb396]

i wish i had content like this when I was younger. It wouldve helped me a lot to better understand math. the way my teachers taught me or the books just made me more confused which was why math was always my weakest subject growing up.

[@cherrycoyote55]

Yeah. They always teach it as seemingly vuagely and unhelpful as possible. They'll just keep repeating what essentially ammounts to "why can't you do it? It's easy! Let me do it for you to show you that!" Without actually bothering you explain WHY or HOW and we're expected to just immediately understand what's going on with no real explanations.

Step 4. Make sure you are comfortable with your calculator. I know with mine depending on whether I'm entering degrees, radians, or gradient I can switch between those modes. If I want decimal notation then I set my calculator to approximate and if I don't want decimal notation then I set it to exact. Just make sure that when you enter in the values it conforms to the order of operations.

Its nice to see you uploading again! The drawing and animations can be helpful sometimes but I would also enjoy more "talking head" videos, so in my opinion, do what you think you've got time and energy to do.

That's was a simple, yet surprisingly effective starter on "How to Read Math." That is impressive, I probably would have touched on Trigonometry (and a few of its applications) rather than calculus in the way you did, I would encourage you to add trig rather than replace calc with trig. For me personally, obtaining a good grasp of Trigonometry was the most difficult and most confusing part of understanding Calculus and and going further. Trig is one of the simplest* and one of the most important areas of mathematics I've come across after algebra. I do not use calculus as much as I thought I would, with electric motors and the type of robotics I work with and play with, a solid understanding in Trig makes everything else so much easier.
