    This is the best explanation for the limit definition of the derivative I have ever seen. Please do more calculus videos. I'm in calc 2 rn in college and this really helped me understand this better from calc 1.

    • @gragbuilds

      oh yeah its just a slope formula, just as you would use in linear equations like y = mx + b

    • @QUBIQUBED
      @QUBIQUBED 16 дней назад

      Slope is the ratio between rise (height of y axis from point a to point b on the axis) and run (length of x axis from point a to point b on the axis)
      Its useful to figure out rate of growth, rate of decay, incline of an inclined plane, etc.

    • @jordythesheep
      @jordythesheep 6 дней назад

      m= slope, b= y-intercept, and the x and y is basically just putting in a point (also seen as (x,y))
      It’s just slope intercept form

    hey! first of all, this is a great video, I'm starting to learn the basics about calculus and you doing so in minecraft really help me understand the concept. Second of all, basically, once every year I have to submit about what a topic that I've been learning, and I've been thinking about making one in Minecraft, but I really don't know what I should demonstrate in, but after watching this, I've decided to make one about computer science (basically redstone), so if you can, can I ask you some furthermore? It would really help me with my project.

  • @Wibrr
    @Wibrr 20 дней назад +8

    5:40 this should be f(x)=(1/5) x instead of f(x)=5 x because for x=1, y should be 1/5 (as you show on the model graph), but your function states that for x=1, y=5 which is inaccurate to your graph.

    • @gragbuilds
      @gragbuilds  19 дней назад +7

      Oh I think there was confusion because the graph's slope wasn't visually high, but I meant to have axis points on the side that showed it to be 5x. I don't think there was any indicator that it was f(x) = 1/5x or 5x so that is my bad, I should've made it more clear, thank you for the feedback though!!

      @awesomekrisna3324 8 дней назад

      hi there, 11th grade indo here too
      don't worry, you're good
      honestly i do find it strange how the national curriculum doesn't teach those things here, or at least doesn't teach them until much later.
      you don't really have to worry about it right now though, since there's a good chance you'll eventually learn it anyway.
      but if you want to learn these sooner, "The Organic Chemistry Tutor" is your guy. he's got a ton of introductory lessons on a wide variety of subjects (mostly IPA + math)
      (also unrelated but bro saved my ahh for fisika 😭🙏)
      and if you want a MUCH more in-depth look into math (or any subject), i suggest searching up books that follow a foreign curriculum (typically smth like cambridge or oxford). i've found these have a ton more material than the books we're given here, and really make sure you understand what it's teaching.
      (also try searching for the book for the grade below when doing this; there may be some things you haven't learned)
      anyway, that's all i can really do to help out in any way.
      hope you'll find these useful :D
      wish you luck on your endeavors :DDD

      @@ZDTF higher dimensional functions and the calculus of those higher dimensional functions. Essentially, all of calculus 1 and 2 (and everything before that) consists of single variable functions (1 independent variable). One input, and one output. There’s an acid for each. This leads to a 2D function with one independent variable (hence the name single variable). Multivariate function by contrast can have multiple inputs for a single output (in some cases where complex numbers are involves such as with the Laplace transform 2 input 2 output relations cal also exist). Example of a 3D multivariate is anything in the form f(x,y) = z. You can also have 4D like f(x,y,z) = W and so on for any higher dimensional function.
      Derivatives (like explained in the video) aren’t the same for multivariate functions. You have multiple derivatives. There’s two fundamental ideas that govern derivatives in multivariate functions: directional and partial derivatives. The latter is technically a special case of the former. The idea being that for something like f(x,y) = z x and why both independently affect z. This is NOT the same as an implicit relation. x and y DO NOT have any relation to each other. This makes x and y constants relative to each other. For partial derivatives you are restricting the direction of your surface (in higher dimensions you don’t have curves, they are called surfaces) to allow for a curve that you can easily differentiate. By holding your y variable constant for example, it’s like you are interacting your surface with a plane (line in 2D are planes in 3D) the resulting cross section is a curve which can be differentiated the normal way with respect to x. The same process can be repeated by holding x constant and differentiating with respect to y. The result?
      In 3D, to have a line, you don’t have a point and slope. It’s a point and a *vector.* the slope was sufficient to show direction in 2D but since you have more axis in 3D you need something different. For all higher variate functions, you use vectors to show a direction. If you take your derivative with respect to x and y and form a vector with them, you get the multivariate equivalent of a derivative. This is what is known as the gradient.
      I basically just packed 1/5 of an entire calculus III semester into this comment and left out a lot of prerequisite knowledge to understand it. If it doesn’t make sense that’s probably just because I’m not a good teacher and calculus III is meant to be taught visually and not through words.

      @@gragbuilds once you do get the patterns, you could show partial and directional derivative extremely well. I’m curious to see how you show Lagrangian multiplier as well (when you get to it, I think you will enjoy learning it). I’m not a very good builder in Minecraft, so even if I know what it should intuitively look like, I can’t quite visualize what that would look like in Minecraft.
      you should be learning multivariate functions (and all the calculus surrounding them) in calculus III. It’s also the same class which introduces vector calculus and TNB frames. Calculus III is the most visual/geometric out of the three semesters (four depending on what college you go to).
