It would be nice to see a video dedicated to asymptotes and how to deal with rational functions. I found a LaTeX package called asymptote but it is rather terse and the documentation is not very useful. It is not clear if the package works with tikz/pgf either. I do realize that we will still have to find the asymptotes using regular algebra techniques before we can include them in our plots.
Midway through the video these questions arose in my mind. 1) There is another command \bar{} that produces overstrike. It is a bit shorter 'strike' than \overline{} uses. Does it matter which one is used? 2) In the preamble I put mathmode inside the macros definition. For example: ewcommand{\mean}[1]{$ \overline{#1}$}. Then I just call the macro with \mean{} rather than $\mean{x}$. You seem to prefer the latter. Why? Thanks.
(1) I think \bar vs \overline is a matter of taste more than anything. See: tex.stackexchange.com/questions/22100/the-bar-and-overline-commands. (2) I prefer my way because maths will generally surround my macro, e.g. $x + \mean{x} = y$.
Learning LaTeX and it's associated "add-ons" is a truly humiliating experience. Every time I think I have learnt something well and my chest is starting to puff up along comes another package like tikz/pgf with its massive manual I am feel as if I am back to square one! Is anyone actually a complete LaTeX expert?

I know what you mean-pgf/TikZ is a very humbling experience! If the genie granted me three wishes, one would go on making me a pgf expert.
