Solving Problems: Study Hall Algebra #1: ASU + Crash Course

[@Kalebshadeslayer]

This is happening just as I need it.

[@flowersstorms8863]

Thank you! This is exactly the approach I need to get my head around algebra.

[@ParadymShiftVegan]

This content is absolutely beyond expectations -truly phenomenal. I've always loved Crash Course and I absolutely loved my time studying at ASU (: Having both of them combine for the best alegbra lessons on KZbin is a dream come true! ^-^ thanks so much for this invaluable gift!

@@arizonastateuniversity Sure thing 🙏 thanks for the learning opportunity 😁 and yupp I was already subbed. oh excellent! Thanks for the tip. Those are topics I indeed would love to delve into, especially data literacy. Thank you very much for sharing 👊💯 I'll definitely be hitting those up. Cheers! Take care (:

[@vaibhav__yadav]

Woah, crash course and Arizona state, never thought this would happen 😧

[@ParadymShiftVegan]

Right? I was blown away in the best sort of way

[@CrowmanProductions]

I'm watching this to give me a head start in my algebra class in school, and math is so much less scary! This is awesome!

[@ahmednadirshah]

Lets be serios youre seeing this by seeing the crash course channel and didn,t search for it.

[@gobyg-major2057]

Serious*, you’re*, didn’t*, let’s*

[@rob651]

Yeah, definitely..came here through crash course

[@lildwayne87]

thats not true you dont know what we think i searched for this non like you.

[@ParadymShiftVegan]

I searched Crash Course to check if they had something before going to Khan academy and freecodecamp.com and I was shocked to find my own college that I attended in collaboration! 🤩 ♥️♥️♥️

[@gregghxst2957]

i specifically searched for crash course algebra lmao

[@monslay5624]

I'm 44 years old with a college degree. I never figured out a reason for algebra; no rhyme or reason for it. I've used only two formulas of it, since I took it. I hope that I can learn something from this man during this video. LATER, after watching: Yes, I learned something. Yay me!!!

[@alext8828]

I hate to say this, because I was sure this would be a great video. I've already been thru algebra and calculus and I'm confused by this presentation. I can't see how this will make anything easier. Speaking to the teacher now: Do you remember the delta process in calc 1? Do you remember that once you learned it, you never learned it again? Do you remember the chain rule? Please tell your students to balance equations by isolating terms using simple rules we all know and love. Change the plus/minus and do the numerator/denominator thing when moving terms across the = sign. I prepped a failing student the day before her test and she got a decent grade for the course. It's really quite ridiculously easy to do. They always pick it up right away. I'm sure this course is amazing. I'm confident it works.

[@rob651]

0:28 did he just say 'Amharic'? I speak that language and I don't think many people know it outside of Ethiopia.

[@elijahafton3002]

Yep he did :)

[@tutuseleshi7640]

yeah me too i double checked to make sure lol...i feel proud for some reason ፒስ

[@tristanroberts8016]

Well, hopefully I will find this helpful with my non-verbal learning disorder. I find that it really helps me learn whatever I'm learning if I can study it to the enth degree. That is, look at it inside and out and look at every single little step and sub-step and why things work the way they do.

[@arizonastateuniversity]

Hopefully it helps! There are more videos like this in our learning playlist Study Hall: Algebra. You can can check it out on our channel and subscribe for video updates at kzbin.info

So you going to do geometry and algebra 2?

[@gregghxst2957]

thank you king, my autistic brain is really struggling with algebra but i have to do it in my uni math course, this is helping a lot.

[@Chelsea-ck9vz]

Thank you, this was extremely helpful and calming :)

[@punboleh7081]

I finished high school math with a straight A and I had no idea you could have two independent solutions for x. (facepalm) We only ever got two solutions when dealing with squares, as x could then be either positive or negative. And of course I also divided by x without considering it might be 0. I thought I'll just refresh my memory on what I've forgotten since school, instead I learn I didn't even know the basics. Humbling. Now I'm looking forward to watching the rest of the series. You've set a very high bar with this first video.

[@basix250]

To be honest I couldn't explain why I can't divide by x until this video. Very intuitive!

[@FrozenSpector]

Same! I’ve never been taught that before!

[@vehement-critic_q8957]

Because it's undefined.

[@jaydenguan4708]

What a great explanation of algebra

[@lemoncola1164]

holy crap where were you when i was asking questions in math class, i feel like he wouldn't send me to detention for asking how a problem can be applied to the real world.

[@MrMigueldelaO]

I didn't get algebra after spending a year at it and I still don't get it after these 10 minutes.

[@hananabanana2177]

Lol

[@AUnicorn666]

4:17 there is only one x on each side? where are they getting this extra x from?!

[@FrozenSpector]

When balancing an equation, you can divide anything into a zero, but ‘not 0 itself’ and therefore not 0/X to balance. Hmm, that makes sense and I’ve never had that explained before. Algebra is too confusing for me when you do not know the Axioms or what you can do to either side of an equation. Like, is an exponent subject to a “+1” to both sides rule or just base variables? Similar to the 0 example above, I did not know you could do this.

[@VaideeshVarthanam]

Awesome 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@imaginextramusic5530]

The simplification if math is different here than from math is fun! It will take time again to do this for me since I get x by the negative portion of the equation. Not bad though.

[@imaginextramusic5530]

Oh yeah hawaiahhh! Did want a over the boarder mistake! I was actually finding the given of x!

[@rogerdotlee]

I've always detested algebra. This tells me I need to man up and do the needful. It's a strange attitude considering I LOVE Calculus and want to really be able to grasp things like Linear Algebra. This should be interesting.

[@PasanJayaweeraYashoda]

yeah man calculus is okay its linear algebra that im having issues with

[@sooryanarayanan4273]

I really like the example with a box with frogs, but what if the numbers were negative numbers how can we visualize that?

[@saltchan2]

OMG Why does algebra make sense now....how come I was never taught to just balance both sides...all those year learning steps when the concept is so simple. Never thought Id see the day I could do equations in my head like this...I feel so dumb

[@alec5400]

When he broke putting the "math googles" on it was helpful for me and understood the scale explanation and how to balance the equation. However, I am confused about the 2nd equation and why he divided it by 2. He stated the balancing technique still works but he divided the equation by two. Why did he do that? Is he just showing a different approach? It confused me to see it done two different ways. Could the first equation be divided by 2 as well?

[@kocengineering769]

I'm completely lost as to why he's representing the 2 in 2x as a box with an x on it. I'm so lost I didn't even understand that's what that extra x was (because it doesn't appear anywhere in the equation) until I counted the frogs he piled on there and realized they represent the other numbers. Process of elimination is suggesting it's the 2 in 2x that he's representing as a box with x on it, but why? It's a 2, isn't it?

[@steverocksyo]

Man, weightless box with frogs inside.

[@Itis-written]

2X+3=X+5.... but hold on, it can't be that X=2 only, X can be any number!

[@reizer05]

2x + 3 = x + 5 i dont know how to solve this but i believe x is 2

At 7:24, your popup says 0/0 0! You're right, but zero factorial = 1, which probably added a layer of complexity you didn't intend. It may have been more sensible to just mention divide by zero errors here? Or eliminate the exclamation point?
