Calculus in a nutshell

What is calculus? A concoction of graphs, slopes, areas, weird symbols, and incomprehensible formulas? This 3-minute video, a submission to the Breakthrough Junior Challenge 2020, unravels the complexity of calculus by providing a (very) brief introduction to basic calculus concepts in anime-style graphics.
Topics include limits, infinitesimals, differentiation from first principles, integration.
This video is by no means aimed to teach you how to solve calculus problems, but to provide a physical intuition to basic calculus concepts.

Personally it wasn’t taught to me in such a way. Yes it’s a questionable teaching style, and people are as uneducated on the internet as they are in real life, and I’m one of them. You should look up more on how people learn maths. Pretty awfully, really. For me who’s a simple high school country student, I had to spend great effort, multiple hours to come to this simple « rate of change » concept show in this video,back then when I studied it for the first time, no matter how simple it now looks to me. In class no one seemed to give such a big deal about it tho. We don’t even realize that we don’t realize anything anymore. But , It’s that kind of videos which helped me out; simple yet fundamental: the core sense of maths I would say. They gave me answers for the questions I didn’t dare to ask

[@alaskawoolf3737]

That was cool. The point of learning math, at least for engineers, outside of the practical uses, is actually to learn how to think better. Learning math allows you to understand very abstract concepts a lot better, makes your thinking process a lot more structured and organized, teaches you to analize and problem solve etc. Also, if you manage to understand the meaning behind all the procedures and concepts, you'll gain a much deeper understanding of how the world works.

[@qwertydavid8070]

I wish I could gain this sort of understanding when it comes to math. I feel like I'm able to gain a very decent hollistic understanding on every subject, but math always eludes me. Maybe it's thanks to all those kurzgesagt , game theory, and History videos on youtube that prepared me beforehand. They grabbed these complex topics and simplified them using storytelling techniques and familiar allegories. This way, I was able to use this oversimplified abstract understanding as a "foundation" that made it much easier to understand the more complex mechanisms later. Kurzgesagt does that with science. Exurb1a did it with philosophy. Game / Film Theory and Mark Rober did it with physics. Oversimplified did it with history. But I've yet to encounter any sort of online resource that is able to dumb down math in any sort of useful way. It's almost like there's something innate about math that makes it impossible to use storytelling techniques to explain it, it is at the same time too abstract and too precise. It's weird, I can't quite describe why. Something about math always fell off, it felt like you just used random procedures out of nowhere for no reason. I never really understand the abstract reasoning of why the procedures are used and why they work. Which is weird because that doesn't really bother me with science, but it always bothered me with math. There's also the fact that in math you're always dealing with values that don't have any real world significance. The numbers and variables don't actually mean anything, when you're using them in math problems you're never actually using them as symbols or standings for real world things. They always just exist in this sort of void detached from reality. At least with science, everything you learn has an observable real world effect. The concepts actually represent something in real life that you can relate to. Even if you can't see them, you understand that molecules exist. You can imagine the effects a physics equation will have on an object. But the concepts in math just represent...themselves. Maybe if we actually did more word problems and real world examples they would make sense. But math textbooks are just filled with a lot of empty problems that don't mean anything and don't symbolize any real world value...
