Calculus for “non-Math” People! ANYONE Can understand this…

Had a tough time swimming thru all the Filler chatter. Very distracting.

As a non- mathematician I find when a mathematician trys to explain a concept they never give a real life example as to when this concept is needed. Just rules and procedures. Where in real life would I find that shape let alone need to know its area.

And then there’s me, who never learned that shape and area thing or any geometry whatsoever in school. I had to give up my hopes of becoming a meteorologist because I just didn’t understand anything beyond basic algebra.

I like your content but I wish your videos were shorter and more quick to the point. Not trying to be a troll but constructive.

I feel the application is severely limited, and why most people are turned off of maths, because it's exceedingly dull, unless u have a specific need to work that out, which an engineer might. I love maths and many associated fields of it, but not all. It took 10 minutes to tell us the solution starts with (X^3+1)/4. Ok well if that's it, subtract the start unit from the end, calculus is simple. But there was no mention of Y or how or why it has anything to do with X^3

It wasn’t really explained here but applications of calculus cannot be understated. Every single stem field since Newtons days utilize calc everyday. The reason that it is so helpful is that many phyiscs phenomenon deal with changes, rather than concrete values (for example, when driving you pay attention more to your speed, which is your change in displacement per time i.e. miles per hour, as opposed to your total displacement, i.e. the odometer). Calculus so helpful because it allows us to convert these rate of change units (like mph) into absolute units (miles driven); so for the example given, if you integrate your velocity over a certain time, you will get the total miles driven as your answer. As for your second point, sadly calculus is almost always not this easy. The function he chose, x^3, happens to follow a very nice rule where you can just add to the exponent and divide, but for any function more complicated than the basic x^n, sinx, cosx, things get WAY more complicated very quickly.

@@rmhorn I've never had the need for it so had no interest, probably because I'm not in a technical field. I like some aspects of trigonometry, and calculating the amount of soil or garden fill needed just involves a cubic calculation or best guess 😄

Unfortunately, like everything else, with Calculus, the devil is in the details...to understand integration as INFINITE summation of all the values of y given the infinite values of x from 1 to 3, which ultimately reduces to the function x^4/4, is key here...but integration is only half of Calculus, since this uses expansion infinity. The other part of Calculus involves contraction infinity where calculations involve finding the value of a specific point among points within an infinite number of points. This is the Calculus in the opposite direction of integration, which is called finding the derivative. Approaching Calculus from using the concepts of infinity expansion and infinity contraction is the best way to explain these concepts. Most if not all people can grasp the concepts of numbers growing infinitely large from a starting point (infinity expansion) as well as realize the concept of there being an infinite amount of numbers between 0 and 1 (infinity contraction).

Phenomenal video

wonderful so far!

Excellent

You tried your best, but I'm still too stupid to understand Calculus.
