I took Calculus in High School. Got a D. Had to take it again first semester of college. Got a D. Had to take it again second semester. On my first day in class second semester, the TA asked me to meet him after class. He asked why I was having problems. I explained that I could do the math, but I didn't know what I was doing and why it was important. This led me to using the wrong rules on problems. He explained essentially what you show here, but only in about 5 minutes, since he knew I could do the math, but just had to understand the why. I never went back to class. Never cracked a book or studied. Just showed up for the tests. I got a B. Unlike the full professors I'd had in my previous classes, this TA knew how to teach. He simplified the subject matter in 5 minutes that two full professors couldn't teach me in a year. Nice job here.

[@kinser919]

I had the same problem in college. The prof did NOT know how to teach. There's an art to teaching, and at research schools, many profs have no desire to teach to undergrads, nor do they care to learn the art of it.

[@BROWNBRANCH]

Same. I could do the math, plug in numbers and letters into where they needed to be, follow the order for the formulas, and do everything right to come out with a correct answer, but I never understood why it was important or what I was even calculating; I did math without it making sense. Because nothing made sense to me, none of the formulas would stay in my memory and I was always confused when doing it on my own. Each individual lesson I'd get passing marks on my homework and in-class assignments but then four lessons later during a test I would bomb every section as if I'd never learned any of it, because I kind of hadn't...

[@wayneyadams]

The derivative would actually be zero because derivatives calculate the rate of change of the variable in the function, so the derivative of any constant is zero. Another way to understand it, is to understand that the derivative gives the slope of a curve at a single point. Since the graphs of constants are horizontal lines with zero slopes, the derivatives will be zero.

I have always had the deepest curiosity, respect and love for Mathematics. I graduated college in 79 with BS in Accounting. I left off at basic Calculus with a C.

[@maskedmarvyl4774]

I blame your professors. They assumed that you already understood the principles because they did, or they never understood the principles themselves, just memorized the rules, and parroted them to their students without understanding the principles they were teaching. The reason I know this is because of the irritation and even anger my teachers expressed whenever I asked Why a certain formula worked, or how it was dervied. Shame on them, and shame on the school system that fostered that mentality. Even Carl Sagan said that when he was in high school and college, the math professors taught purely by rote, and the great physicist Richard Feynman claimed that he had to teach Himself math, and that if he had tried to learn from a college professor, he never would have understood math at all. He didn't have a high regard for school math teachers. It's very rare to find a math teacher who is able to explain Why math works, or even understands that students have the need to understand why it works.

People get intimidated by math. I know I did. I’m a professional engineer, graduating from UC Berkeley in the late 70’s, I had a very successful 40 yr career. I took 4 years of math in High School, it wasn’t pretty, I just couldn’t truly understand it. I took A2, Trig, Analytic Geometry, and 4 calculus classes in college. Many people, especially boys’ brains aren’t developed enough to fully grasp math. Plus they tend to be restless and don’t have the required patience (If this is you, don’t worry, you are very normal). So they start to doubt themselves and hate math because of it. It happened to me. However, once I got to college, I was ready to tackle it. Don’t get mad at math, get even… when you are ready. I graduated at 23 with an Engineering degree from Cal because I didn’t give up. You haven’t failed until you stop trying.

[@rayrainer985]

What makes Calculus complicated is not understanding the basic fundamentals of Algebra and Geometry. The idea of Calculus is simple enough but it requires often understanding and solving rigorous Algebraic and Geometric problems. I took Calculus years ago and decided in Calculus 2 that I couldn't go on because I really didn't understand it, even though I got a B+ in the course. I decided to not pursue anything to do with Mathematics, even though I did like it. But as I reviewed Calculus over the years, I wondered how I even got as far as Calculus 2 after discovering my lack of understanding of the most basic Algebraic and Geometric principles. I guess I was able to follow the dots but I never was able to connect them. It doesn't do any good if you don't understand what you are doing because you will not be able to apply it. My advice is to understand Algebra. Mathematics is about building relationships. Some people just can't get beyond 1 dimensional thinking. You have to begin to look at simple relationships like the reason there is Pi is because the circumference is 3.14... longer relative to its diameter. It compares their relative lengths. As simple as this is, people have a difficult time understanding this simple relationship because they are unable to compare things and are fixated on a 1 dimensional level. Most people function at this 1 dimensional level very well. They say they they don't need Algebra but yet the doors to the Sciences, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics are completely closed to you. I always wished that Art was taught in conjunction with Mathematics in the Elementary schools. Art can nurture your mind to be able to imagine form better, as well as to improve imagination to allow yourself to be creative in your thinking by seeing Art also an exploration in relationship to go beyond that 1 dimensional thinking but that is another story.

In my brain, calculus is art🤔 and yet I also truly believe many people fail to realize they can go beyond level 1 dimension of thinking in calculus. We limit ourselves not knowing how intelligent we were made to be. We limit ourselves because we believe we have 1 dimensional thinking yet we don't. It's all a matter how you truly care for some thing. For me when I dont understand something regardless of how hard it is I keep pushing because I have to know for what ever reason, and I get it soon enough. So if you really care, you'll understand more than you thought you could know.

Education is blessing no question about it To be proud of yourself, to be great asset to the society and to make your parents and loved ones proud of you I always wished there is some guidance to help the students to know how important the subject that you are studying will be towards your future career Sadly I have never got lucky with a teacher or a professor he was kind enough to help us learn more than he was enjoying seeing the whole class failing Lord have mercy the final exam he will be revenging from the students with kind of questions that we have never seen during the whole year and he will be proud of himself to see how many students had failed his class I pray to God no one on those days goes over what I went through

This is why, while I was good at other kinds of math in school, I never understood calculus fully, because apparently the integral of f(x) where x is a value representing my patience, x starts at ten, threatens to go on to infinity, and ends up having an actual value of 21.95

@@brendanhickey4955 Hi Brendan- The best advice I would offer someone that has a fear of math ( and I did- I took my last math class before college as a high school sophomore as all you needed to graduate was Algebra II/Trig) is to try and relax. That is the most important thing that college professor taught me. I would be so psyched out that I would almost have a panic attack taking quizzes and tests! Undergrad Calculus is basic, and you learn it a little at a time. So one needs to study regularly and consistently. DO NOT try the old “cram the night before the test technique,” Calculus is not a discipline where you can bs yourself through a test like a Sociology class. You either know it or you don’t. Take the medicine a small sip at a time and you will do fine. BTW, to all the Sociology/ Philosophy graduates that may read this, it was not my intent to denigrate your area of study. My point is the hard sciences (like chemistry, genetics, anatomy, physics, etc.) are not subjective. You have to be able to regurgitate the facts (solve and insert the answer), not go on page after page on an essay test.

Fantastic explanation. I was introduced to calculus 50 years by a teacher called Mr Choduric in a school in East Finchley ,London called Bishop Douglass. He launched in, violently by presenting an equation and the rules to differentiate it. NO basic explanation whatsoever. He succeeded in scaring the crap out of the class. It took me 10 years to get over the shock. I wish Mr Choduric could have used your introduction. Mr Choduric took the fun out of maths for most of that class for ever. Thankfully I fought it and subsequently succeeded in engineering. Mr Choduric will be an old man now. If he reads this I'd like him to know how destructive his teaching method was.

Great explanation, everyone scared about derivates and integrals should dedicate some time to look at your work, impossible to end without having a clear vision of the basics..... and you know, getting rid of fears generated by strange symbols and similar things is the only barrier to destroy for a human race which starts his life playing three-in-a-row, rubrik cube and other logic games. We're mathematics by nature, sometimes scared by symbols, but these concepts are our alphabet to read our universe. Everyone knows how to read it ;-) Great job.

Calculus is all about the study of object that are not stationary. In other words it is the right mathematics to apply when one quantity varies with respect to another quantity. Suppose speed changes with respect to time can be better express in calculus. Calculus is broadly categorized into two main categories. 1) Differential Calculus 2) Integral Calculus Differential Calculus is about the instantaneous rate of change in a quantity with respect to another quantity. On the other hand integral calculus is about the area under the curve and the x-axis.The area under the curve also gives the entire rate of change over a certain interval.

Same. I suppose in elementary, I never mastered multiplication. I didn’t think it to be that big of a deal, until I had to deal with rapid fractions in algebra. I would later blame algebra as the reason I failed math every year after that. The real reason could have detected and corrected by one of my many math teachers, but they had too many students to focus on individuals. My senior year I cheated my way though 4 math classes in one semester, thanks to online classes. Now 4 years after graduation, I’m pursuing physics. I’m fixing math on my own, using books and KZbin videos. I had to start where I last left off in understanding, multiplication.

All things considered, if you have a decent handle on algebra then it's fairly easy. At least I thought it was. I also had a really good teacher that didn't teach from the textbook. He used his own notes that he had built up through the years of teaching to present the material in a way that made the concepts easy to understand.

There are many different types of calculus. A "Calculus" is the set of rules for adding up and manipulating mathematical objects. These are examples of single-variable differential and integral calculus. Calculating areas and slopes are just the tip of the iceburg in terms of applications. The real power of calculus is approximating a complicated problem with lots of smaller simpler ones that you already know how to solve. Then using special methods to sum (integrate) or find differences between (differentiate) these small elements as their size becomes infinitesimally small. If you're interested, here is a list of topics covered in most calculus courses... 1. Limits 2. Definition of the Derivative 3. Differentiation rules (consequences of the definition of the derivative) 4. Minimization and Maximization 5. Riemann Sums 6. Anti-Derivative Rules 7. Integration Techniques (Variable Substitution, Integration By Parts, etc) 8. Fundamental Theorem of Calculus (Differentiation and Integration are inverse operations) 9. Mean Value Theorem 10. Infinite Series and Convergence Tests 11. Taylor Series approximations to functions 12. Vector Calculus If you really want to understand calculus, you need to understand the theoretical basis of differentials. In a beginning calculus course, you'll just have to take it on faith that you can perform the regular arithmetic operations on infinitely small differentials and that everything works as you would expect. That would be a good question to ask your instructor to see if he really knows his stuff or not.

My advanced liberal arts school was heavy on reading: English grammar, then after an hour, literature for an hour beginning with a couple weeks of Old English. Then Chaucer for a month followed by several Shakespear plays ( much to memorize) with the spelling and grammar and meaning. Moving forward to Hedda Gabbler, Hemmingway, and world literature. Every day. Then after lunch came 4 years of Latin, with a seperate Spanish or French class. General Science, biology, chemistry and physics in 4 years. Geometry, algebra 1, 2 then trig in 4 years. No mention of calculus. Oh 4 years of ancient, world and US history. And as seniors, we had a few weeks of classical Greek intro. We were well equiped to become history, latin and english majors. Sadly i chose engineering and was in trouble with calculus. Prof said here is the book. I am a prof. mathmetician researcher and it is an insult to be forced to teach freshman and i won't. Then slept through each class. I am not stupid, had a year of analytical and spherical geometry in the summer at a local college, with an A. Took me a long time to get calculus. The terms are misleading to an English major. Your class would have been the key to understanding. You gave your listeners more in 20 minutes then i got in a year with the arrogant fool of a teacher. Thank you.

[@tibimarin]

@@carolquella257 it's a huge "let's get it over with" mentality. We're not thought the principles of calculus, we're just presented with a list of formulas we have to memorize just so we can regurgitate it on the final exams, which because of the covid-19 outbreak, I will most probably fail. Which means I won't be able to go to collage.

[@jbratt]

I had one of the greatest math teachers in the history of the world (I’m pretty sure) in 5th and 6th grade. She explained calculus to us in 6th grade and it made such sense. It was the concept not actual equations but it gave us a foundation to build from.

[@SexyPigeon834]

I love math too and a teacher completely ruined it for me, but I switched to homeschool when covid happened and I have my love for math back, I hope you do too. I'm also trying to become an engineer, but I'm debating on becoming a mechanic though. only because I love cars and stuff, but I know nothing about them haha.

I’m also going into engineering for college, but calculus and AP physics are really difficult to understand for me.

[@tonywylder645]

This was Greek to me but your having said, "This is simpler than you think." really helped. I am one of those people that needs a list of the rules that I can check the progress of the equation. This is a breakthrough just to realize this. Thankyou. Calculating volumes is a big deal. It is nice to be capable of that.

[@martiansonmaui1749]

Thanks for the great video! I dropped Calculus three times before I found a professor who made it come to life they way that you did. Getting bogged down in the tedious (and boring) explanations of limits could have been postponed. If the integral and derivative concepts were presented first, it would have kept me engaged. I think that was probably the number one complaint of most who dropped out of Calculus, (and either changed majors or left school entirely).

[@MuzixMaker]

You’re exactly correct. Same with me.

[@Domihork]

I spent my final year of high school learning all of the rules and ways to do calculus. Without ever understanding why am I doing it or what can I use it for. The teacher always only said we're gonna need it at uni. Then I did my bachelor and Master without ever using it. So I just blessfully forgot it. And then, the foolish me, decided to take a second Master in another country. And here they just automatically assume that we have years of experience understanding calculus and know what we're doing with it. So... Thank you, you just saved me.

[@carolquella257]

This did not save you for a masters degree. I'm calling your comment BS.

[@bennozappenduster8557]

How can you do Calculus without a formula? Teacher: "What is the area between?" Student: "Between what?" Teacher: "You will have to figure that one out yourself." Then, the first example he is using is a function.

[@voxvolhynia5400]

Forgive me if I'm misunderstanding, but perhaps you're mixing up formulas and functions? I think his point was to be able to do it without a formula (a tool used to find unknown information from known information). His example was a function (a pattern of known points), as pretty much all examples would be, but not one that has a readily available formula to use. A crazy curve on a graph would require calculus to solve, whereas a simple triangle has a commonly known formula at the ready. They're both functions, though, and you would already have the function (or have access to the data to create one) before being able to find the area, regardless of whether you use a formula or not.

If you don't know how to buy a calculator, don't try to use one, get an abacus.

[@TheWadetube]

The thing that I always hated about algebra, trig and calculus is that we often never got an answer to any thing....we were shown principles without application, without finishing a problem. Having function of x over y squared is not an answer to the volume of anything. Solve your problems...give the answer.

[@restitutororbis964]

Well thats because thats pure maths, if you want applications go to applied maths(Physics,computer science,cryptography,etc). You cant explain why something is equal to something in an applicable way, you would need some type of example. By that i mean math itself cant be explained, its all intuitive. I honestly love both pure maths and applied maths, pure because of how abstract it is and my love for doing random crazy problems in my own time just for the fun of it. Applied because it gives you that satisfaction of knowing you didnt waste your time to just learn mathematics you will truly never use. Also because physics is fun :P

[@dravifo6762]
