I really like this video because you make a topic that seems not very exciting into something interesting through the way you present the information and speak, so thanks so much!

WTFFFF this is freaking awesome! you have no idea how much ive struggled with this and now it seems so simple. Definitely worth a like and sub! keep going man!

[@jewishkidney]

thanks so much i have a dynamics final in two days and i’m stressing out about it 😂

[@E_Rico]

This is one of the best explanations on this topic. Understood it without replaying the video lol

[@structurefree]

Yessss!! One and done!
