    To see subtitles in other languages: Click on the gear symbol under the video, then click on "subtitles." Then select the language (You may need to scroll up and down to see all the languages available).
    --To change subtitle appearance: Scroll to the top of the language selection window and click "options." In the options window you can, for example, choose a different font color and background color, and set the "background opacity" to 100% to help make the subtitles more readable.
    --To turn the subtitles "on" or "off" altogether: Click the "CC" button under the video.
    --If you believe that the translation in the subtitles can be improved, please send me an email.

      Eugene Khutoryansky Thank you so much for your videos Eugene. You do not receive the viewership that you truly deserve. Hopefully the word will get out and eventually you will be the "Khan Academy" of Math & Physics.
      PS: Can you do a video on Spinors? I'd LOVE to see a video by YOU on this topic. Spinors are my current obsession and it is a difficult topic. The Wiki entry is good, but you do EVERYTHING so much better ;-)

How much would it cost to pay you for a visualization of this type to visually intuitively demonstrate an understanding of seconds square from acceleration? I’m seeking an exact visual breakdown exactly like this to understand what seconds square looks like visually

    • @EugeneKhutoryansky
      @EugeneKhutoryansky  19 дней назад +1

      I am not sure if there is an intuitive way to describe it, other than the fact that acceleration is the rate of change in velocity, and velocity is the rate of change in position. I show how to visualize rates of change in my video on Calculus at ruclips.net/video/rjLJIVoQxz4/видео.html

    While this shows the trick of multiplying the integer by the fraction's denominator, the illustration doesn't explain what the basic idea is. When you divide by any number, you ask how many of that number add up to the first number. I.e. How many 3s add up to 6? Two 3s add up to 6. How many 1/2s add up to 6? Well 2 halves add up to 1, and six 1s add up to 6, so 2 halves times 6 equal 12 halves. 12 halves add up to 6.

    Great! I find the biggest problem with mathematics education is that kids are moved to the abstract before they grasp the concrete meaning of numbers, and are therefore get lost early on and never recover. Computer visualization is an amazing tool!

    Thanks for these great videos. By the way to visualize the dividing process, it may be better to distribute the balls one by one to the boxes . My boy understands better in that way. Great work please keep them going.

  • @Paleoint
    @Paleoint 8 лет назад +2

    Clever, but I'm afraid too clever by 1/2. :) Much simpler is to look at multiplication and its inverse, division, as iterative addition and substraction. So, when asked 6/(1/2) you say "How many times can I subtract 1/2 from 6?' With the intuitve answer of 12.

  • @yankee6161
    @yankee6161 2 года назад

    Excellent! A very intuitive explanation (with one typo at 0:23 when you say "six boxes" - it should be "three boxes")

  • @ghamandlupinwalkingtours
    @ghamandlupinwalkingtours 8 месяцев назад

    I'm so terrible at understanding this that I had to look up a visualisation. I still don't get it.
    The problem says one set of 6, and one half. So where do 12 balls and 2 halves come from?

    • @HatterTobias
      @HatterTobias 3 месяца назад

      Division using the ball and box example here roughly means like "If in n boxes there are m balls in total, how many balls there would be if there was only one?"
      With the equation being m divided by n (m/n) and assuming each box has the same amount of boxes
      In the 6 divided by 1/2 example, it basically translates to "if in half a box there are 6 balls, how many balls we would have if we had a box instead?"

    • @geodesicdeath2997
      @geodesicdeath2997 9 лет назад

      +Oliver Baker that's putting 10 balls into 2/3 of a box. You still count how many balls are inside of a single box but that won't be a whole number of balls because 3 doesn't go into 10 evenly (i.e. its not an integer number).

    • @unev
      @unev 8 лет назад

      If we follow the logic presented in the video than we can think of 2/3 fraction this way - the numerator (2) tells us among what number of boxes our dividable (10) should be spread, so 10 objects should be equally spread among 2 places: 10 / 2 = 5 object to fill a single box, next step is to evaluate the denominator, in your case it tells us that 5 balls we have from the previous step will fill only 1/3 of the box. Now, in order to find out how much objects are required to fill the box fully we have to multiply the fraction of objects by the size of the box: 5 * 3 = 15.
      Just to refine, think of having 10 balls but the quantity is only enough to fill 2/3 of the box. You know the number of sections in the box, you can figure out how many balls are needed to fill one single section, then you simply multiply the number of objects from one section by the total number of sections in the box.
