    I too have to sit in a 2 hour algebra classes, twice a week. This short video has taught me wayyy more than what I've managed to grasp from class these past couple of weeks. Just thought I'd add that. So yeah thanks again :D

    Have my College Algebra Final tomorrow and I just wanted to say thanks.
    Keep up the great work.

    I had to self learn all of this about 2 years ago, and understood it all and everything, but never had a good way to remember how to rearrange logs ahha. When I found this I was looking for something completely different, but saw how good a teacher he is, so decided to watch it anyway since I was taking a food break aha. really really good teacher, i'm at uni at the moment doing electrical engineering, struggling with the maths because i never had a good maths teacher that explained things so you could understand through school, college or sixth form. It's really important to understand this stuff early, so you're doing a good service sir, keep it up (Y).

    My Trigonometry teacher didn't teach my block section about this, and he made us take a test about it; even though I know nothing about this. So I'm really glad I watched this, and it made me view logarithms on a simpler level now!
    Thanks for this and keep it up!

    @stevedl3150 8 лет назад +1

    The best teachers of Maths and Science always seem to have an air of eccentricity about them, I think. Oh, they also sometimes end up writing to all intents and purposes vertically as opposed to horizontally. Ergo this chap has hit the nail on the head.
    Great work, and most appreciated.

    I have a test on Tuesday on logorithms and exponents (and probability) and this video has been an incredibly helpful review. I wish I were in your class - we have fun too, and a great teacher, but you make it so simple. Maybe now I will pass :D Although, our questions are a bit harder, so applying the theory might still be difficult.

    OMG--meeting B^e=N was the one "shortcut" that made it all make sense at last. My textbook had b^x=y, and then all these bubbles below to explain what each component meant. It was classic forest for the trees stuff, when they could have been this straightforward.

    The locational spherical inward absorption density and outward emission density of electromagnetic waves is forming antimatter matter annihilation, input+0/1-output electric charge and EM-fields, "resonance and interference or Logarithmic and expontential" equations as time unfolds!
    All information recorded electrically via two equal pairs of opposite expression.
    Each cancels the other out in cyclic periodicities.
    Each then becomes what the other was.
    Now is a moment of emission or acceleration

    • @TheMADGUY50
      @TheMADGUY50 10 лет назад

      If you manage to get the bases the same, the equation will be valid. Just like 1/9 = 1/3^2 , 1/81 = 1/9^2 = 1/3^4, which equals to the same answer if you carry on, -2m=4m + 16 , m= -8/3 . Equivalent.
      just remember to make sure that you are certain that the bases are the same, it doesnt matter if you get the bases into prime numbers or get the bases to equal, you will be successful.

    Any similar questions as 5^n-3 = 1/25 can be easily derived using ln. With the use of ln,
    n-3 = ln(1/25)/ln5
    n-3=-2
    n=1
    So my question here is, is there a reason that stops you from arriving at the answer using an easier method, or is it simply not in the syllabus?

    Only difference between solids, liquids, gases and plasma is Volume!
    All direction is spherically curved.
    Electrical potential is the same as future potential.
    Everything is formed by the locational spherical inward logarithmic absorption density and outward exponential emission density of electromagnetic waves!
