Thanks for providing this easy tutorial on Calculus. I'm 70 years old and finally excited to start learning advanced mathematics. There are so many things that I want to understand better without the pressure of grades or career. This is the best time in human history (so far) to have access to all of the accumulated knowledge that we have discovered... just a few clicks away. Looking forward to reviewing the other videos in your collection.

Six years of university, an electrical engineering degree, took mathematics for physicists, and no one explained this better than you, my friend

A class like this should be the first lesson in any beginning calculus class. I struggled with calculus because I did not understand the purpose or basic concepts.

Properly understanding calculus is extremely difficult; however, blindly integrating and differentiating is relatively easy most of the time. I have taught non maths students calculus, and when asked what they understood, most of them just said they were following the methods without really knowing what they were doing.

When we were taught calculus, we ALWAYS started with differentiation. It should be noted that text books are titled "Differentiated Calculus" or "infinitesimal Calculus" because that is the basis of the technology.

@3:06, We were taught that this is known as, or is called, an, "Irregular Shape", that's what it is called, instead of a squiggly.

Learning calculus & rates of change & all that became crystal clear when I simplified differential calculus as "slope-finding" and integral calculus as "area finding".

I am AuDHD, really good in languages and very bad at math. Really wanted to give it a try, but at about 8 minutes I have seen roller coaster and the moment was gone.

I use calculus every day at work as I lay out areas for excavation and construction. Having 4 yrs. of collegiate math under my hat makes my job much easier and more efficient. However, I was surprised at how many people there are in construction who use these methods and many with not even a high school degree. This shows the common sense of mathematics in real-world applications. I've learned a lot from many of them also. Great video, sir, from one math lover to another.

I realized eventually that my trouble with calculus came from the circumstance that math teachers take a very pure and abstract approach to teaching calculus with poor connection to reality. Most calculus books dont include a definition of calculus in the introductions. When I assess a calculus text I always check the introduction for a definition. If it is not there I know its going to be abstract confusion and I dont waste any more time with it.

I'm am 62 and have always wondered the basics of calculus as someone whose math education stopped at Algebra 2 with Trigonometry. Thank you for sharing. Maybe in another lifetime I will learn it :)

My last class in calculus was 50 years ago. Clicked on your video, when it flashed on my screen and felt young again. Slowly minute by minute it all started coming back, although I doubt, it was ever explained to me the way you did. What was missing at the end was an example of practical application for very simple function. Interesting that most comments are written by people out of school for decades and I understand that your intention is to popularize math in young, unaware of the great adventures that calculus can bring, minds.

I have a degree in Electrical Engineering more than 30 years ago. Calculus was very useful in solving upper level Engineering courses. Watching this video brought back memories.

I was so good at calculus. It clicked in the brain the first time and I loved it. Used to love doing fast Fourier transforms and plotting those curves using the French curves and T slides.
Now I don’t even use it or recall these. But the joy my brain got back then was amazing

Wish someone explained it before 45 years back in this way.

I am 80 and had 2 years of calculus in high school. Freshman year in college I took differentials and sophomore year a course I can call something like theoretical calculus. I had to drop out for a year and came back as a history major. One reason I did not go further was there was never any discussion like you gave here. Everything was just numbers and how to manipulate them with just pencil and paper. I would have to take at least the differentials over again and probably pass on the last course so I dropped math altogether. Had I had some sense of the application of this information, I might have stayed with the math and been much richer today as I missed out on a great job with IBM because my math wasn't solid enough. IBM in 1968 and staying for 20 years would have made me wealthy. History gives one some useful knowledge but would only prepare you for a teaching job.

In 43 years I've been able to count all my great teachers on 1 hand. After watching a few of your videos I can finally start counting on the other.

This video makes me rethink my calculus classes 35 years ago. Back then it felt like abstract “mathematical voodoo” with no connection to the real world or even to the idea of area. Seeing it explained visually like this makes it finally make sense.
