    I know how much harder is to teach using this method, and I really appreciate the effort you have put in these lessons. I am an engineer. I have used calculus in my career many times, but I must admit I never really understood it on a gut level. Unfortunately I never had an instructor who took his job as seriously as you. Thank you.

    I am an engineer and a keen lover of math. I was blessed to have a calculus teacher that explained this the same way that you did. I was also blessed to have a patient mother who drilled me in math so that I can do many complex calculations in my head by simplifying things back to first principles. My Dad was a mechanic who blessed me with the ingenuity to understand physics by asking questions that came from my curiosity. No wonder when I reached university the concepts of magnetism and electric fields helped me apply science and math to solve engineering problems. My favourite equation is the one you concluded with. e to the i*pi +1=0. It is so neat that the first derivative of the function (slope) is x and is the same as the integral (area under the curve) from - inf to x. Yes, Euler's number is indeed special.

      Jason, I just watched “09-Unit Circle” a couple of times several days ago. This was the 1st time I have ever heard of a unit circle. You explained it very well. In the 30º, 60º, 90º right triangle the x,y coordinates were ( √3/2,½) . The sine of 30º = ½ (y axis) is permanently etched in my brain with the flashlight analogy . Then √3/2 = x-axis (cos.). Next some calculations were done to understand this more fully.
      √3/ 2 =1.7305/ 2 = .866025. Then the Cos 30º = .866025 on the calculator. This is also true for the Isosceles right triangle at 45º( √2/2). So, being new to the “Unit Circle", I am puzzled!! Why deal with a √3 divided by 2 when 2 clicks of the Construction Master calculator gives the exact same number (.866025 for the cos of 30º)
      Is this because it is easier to remember the simple square roots rather than a 6 digit decimal and plug them into the other 3 quadrants of the circle?

    I’m 83 years old and remember in a graduate chemistry class the prof was using “e” in his equations and told us it was easy to remember because it was 2.7 Andrew Jackson squared.
    WHAT???
    Andrew Jackson was elected in 1828 so “e” was 2.718281828 .
    But I didn’t appreciate the derivation of “e” until viewin your presentation. Before it was just a number to me. Now it makes sense.
    Oh, and I liked your inclusion of the area under the curve. Very neat!

    Narutal log of 2, or 'e' is a great number. I like to play with '1/e' or .36787... this to me would be the experiential growth rate of the speed of light as the gravitational effects change as it moves from objects or towards an object in relation to it's distance. So as lights hits Murcery it moved a shorter distance but took longer to escape the pull of the sun gravity, but as it passes Murcery heading to Earth it speeds up.

    In the last, the Euler’s formula is beautiful because “how beautifully the irrational numbers pi & e which are hidden in the nature or geometry of the universe are connected to imaginary number i”
    In my opinion, one day this equation will open some big door in science or nature in front of us. Currently it’s like we have the key in hand, but we don’t know yet where is that door?

    There is a trick here: Banks quote annual interest rates but they compound interest on your min/max daily or monthly balance. Because of this formula it is misleading to say 10% pa interest compounded monthly unless you mean the interest rate is that, which if you compounded it monthly, would produce 10% pa interest. That rate is not 10% / 12 = 0.8333...% but (1+10%)^(1/12) -1 = 0.797414...%

    I think it would be worth while to answer “why does in converge to 2.72?” The exponent is getting bigger so that should give you a large result. Nevertheless what you are adding to the one in the parenthesis is getting smaller and smaller. So, if you compound every nanosecond the compounding is great, but what is being compounded becomes neglectible beyond a certain value. It does grow, but you will see the growth very very far to the right of the period in 2.7182…….
