@@nicoles_handle it's not hard at all. This is a very common practice in Australian schools where he is at. Year 11 curriculum is the introduction with first principles and an explanation of how to get it Year 12 you should know how calculus works well enough to be able to simply apply rules. Trigonometric calculus as well as logarithmic calculus is not taught until Year 12 when the students should have a good knowledge of how and why calculus is what it is.

What really got me into math was one day in my first Calculus class, my teacher who reminds me am lot of Eddie, let me go on for about 5 minutes working things out in my head as to WHY the derivative is what it is and not just "what is it" and he let me figure out it's real world application and meaning myself, and all of the sudden everything we had been learning about was REAL, not just something I was being told. And then my teacher said "I can't believe you just backward logic'd yourself into finding out what a derivative is. Well done." And everything was just so joyous.

His teaching is amazing. However, what's really amazing is the fact that he can answer a person's question so well. It's actually quite easy(for me), to give good presentations/teachings, but what actually makes it difficult, is when they ask questions! It'll take me time to understand and think of the best way to actually solve the person's question, without confusing them even further. However, Mr.Woo barely hesitated before he understood, and solved the problem. Great respect for that.

Thanks Eddie. I am a 68 yo and just refreshing my maths, with your help (because I can). When I was at school, in the 60's, my maths understanding was greatly elevated by understand the application ( to the real world) of the math being taught at the time. One application was logarithms. It was to explain the phenomena of the world around us, in one case about sound, and to calculate the compression of air when sound travels, is a log expression. It is likely that at each step, in your explanation, you would suggest where this math method would apply in the real world. The application of math, has given me great benefit, as I was fully engaged, and could see the meaning of math, and to see it being important for my future.

I did know that it was to do with the tangent to the curve, but I never made the final connection until now - the change in x over the change in y - how could I have not visualised what that meant?
