Man, your enthusiasm is SO contagious! I stood up here in front of my computer and watched the whole thing straight through, with a couple of pauses to reassure myself why some things worked out the way they did! Thank you!

@@fabianwho9797 you can use it in numerical applications as a second order approximation of the derivative: [f(x+h)-f(x-h)]/(2h) = f'(x) + O(h²) in contrast to [f(x+h)-f(x)]/h = f'(h) + O(h) (for h→0, assuming f∈C²)

I am a 64 year old chemical engineer, still working. Math has always been my strongest subject. I enjoy these videos very much. I feel if you do not understand math that well, you will have lot more difficulty in engineering.
@@mesindetrabajinv666 Look at the occupational handbook for job outlook. Chem Engineering was hard but I've heard aerospace is even harder.

This was super awesome! I took calc 1 in highschool, and I've taken calc 2, Differential Equations, and Linear Algebra in college. I don't have many math credits left to take, so I find these videos awesome for keeping me on my math skills. Thank you!!
I'm neither a student nor a teacher. I'm just an old fart engineer who loves math enough to realize I really let myself get rusty on the basics. So, although most of the math I do at work is related to number theory, I do appreciate the refresher, particularly since you tend to tackle problems in ways different than what I would use.
5:30 and what if the graph is not symmetrical relative to the "angle" point, say if there's a sum or difference of a linear function and an abs function with various angle coefficients. What meaning does symmetrical derivative has, will it be relevant? It doesn't seem obvious
Seems all ok but this finding of the second derivative using the symmetric derivative as shown is good only for x≠0, see 26:57 where you multiply and divide for 2x. Would be need complete the proof for x=0, i guess is not hard, pluging x=0 in the initial steps, see the formula is also ok
The only thing I like more than trying to follow all of the steps you take during the video is your sheer joy when the thing is finally done! I can't help smiling as well. Thank you for reminding me that i really like math!)
Hey there. Before asking this, just wanted to say I love your videos. Thanks to you I've found out about my interest in math as a hobby, and I can't commend how interesting and satisfying stuff like calculus can be when you understand it enough. With that out of the way, I also wanted to ask you a question, which definition of derivative do you prefer? f(x-h) - f(x) lim ---------------- x->0 h or f(x) - f(h) lim ------------- x->h x - h
18:53 Actually, you can use L'Hôpital's as long as you don't derive d/dx[sinx]=cosx from it, and there are other ways to prove the derivative of sine is cosine :)
What amazes me is that I'm 47 yo, finished my highschool long time ago, dropped from university on second year, I don't use calculus in my life at all, and I still manage to understand most of this.
You've explored tetration a few times, but can the concept tetration be extended to include non-integers? If we define Tn(x) to be a tetration function such that T3(x) = x^x^x and T5(x) = x^x^x^x^x, then what happens if we plug in say 2.5 for n or even i? Is that even possible?
I researched this a bit and it seems very interesting. For anyone interested, go to Wikipedia>Tetration>Extensions (go to the 'heights' section for n) and search up "Tetration Forum" if you want to see more discussion on tetration.
do you know that derives as you write do not mean derives in mathematics , it means derives in physics , but to calculate a derive in mathematics can be only count with limit
17:07 After the 4th line, I know why he factored out the 2sin(x^2) but i don’t necessarily get how. The 2nd term in that question doesn’t have the factor sin(x^2)?? am i just reading it wrong Also, I don’t understand why he uses the symmetric derivative for this function to begin with. I don’t quite know if it’s easier, but the function itself has a derivative with the domain of all real numbers, so wouldn’t it be easier to just take the derivative of that again?? i think he said that the symmetric derivative doesn’t imply the existence of the first derivative but if the first derivative does exist then what’s the point?
It's not the 2nd term in the numerator, but the 3rd term (which is where the "-1" then came from). As he explained at the beginning, if you know the normal derivative exists, then the symmetric derivative also exists, and the two are equal. Since you can choose either representation, evidently the symmetric derivative was easier to work with.
I'm always looking for entertaining videos to watch while eating my food. Although I love maths, I would have never guessed I'll end up with this kind of stuff as best eating videos
Chain rule? What is the Chain rule? What happened to Chen lu? Did you mean Chen lu? I miss the old days. You are still a great teacher and always had a wonderful sense of humor.
wait, does it mean you can just use symmetric derivative as a normal derivative? Or is it only second symmetric derivative = second derivative? Or is it just coincidence?
you can use symmetric derivative definition in place of the regular derivative, they should be the same, except sometimes the symmetric derivative will you give you an answer while the regular derivative does not (when there is a sharp turn in the graph, like f(2) = |x - 2|) quoting wikipedia, "If a function is differentiable (in the usual sense) at a point, then it is also symmetrically differentiable, but the converse is not true" this applies for any nth derivative, not just the 2nd
I do appreciate it! Thank you. I am surprised at how much I remember. I am also keenly aware that I have forgotten so very much. But thank you for the videos!
It's fun when you are seeing the steps you have to take. Not so much when you're standing at a crossroads. Though I learned earlier today that sometimes you just have to make a decision (a big decision, as Bob Ross would say) and stick with it until you hit a dead end.
What the other poster said. He skipped a step in deriving the formula for the second derivative and just gave it to you. But all you do is apply the symmetric derivative once to get the first derivative then apply it again to the first derivative. If you want to see the derivation, search for centered finite differences.
Can we use the following definition to calculus the second derivative of sin(x²) ? f''(x) = lim h->0 [ (f(x+2h)-2f(x+h)+f(x)) / (h²) ] I don't know if using this formula would be more easier than the other one in the video, I don't have the energy to try it 😂 And also, I don't know if the formula is right or not but I do a little demonstration to proove it and I think the formula is right... Please tell me 👀 PS : sorry for my english, I'm actually french
Definitely, in fact this might be there regular second derivative not the symmetric one, which might exist even if the function isn’t twice differentiable?
I was able to do it by applying the derivative twice so d/dx (sin(x^2)) = cos(x^2)*2x. Then d/dx (cos(x^2)*2x). using the product rule you get -sin(x^2)*2x*2x + cos(x^2)*2. This simplifies to -4x^2*sin(x^2) + 2*cos(x^2)
This was endless excruciating pain followed by revelation. Sometimes you have to have faith and keep slogging! Wow! You did this as an 8 year old? Proof of alien visitation! I'm calling the History Channel!!!!!!
My students used to keep a catalog of the outrageous things I said over the year. I think "just give up" and "don't be happy to quickly" satisfy the criteria!. I have one question: Doesn't the "'symmetric derivative" (which looks akin to a central finite difference) lead to f' = 0 for absolute value at the critical point?
At 17:55 you took the big limit of a sum and turned it into a sum of a limit. Does that always work? lim x->0 x/x = 1 but (lim x->0 x)/(lim x->0 x) goes to 0/0. That is a division but it doesn't work but does it always work for sums?
Fine and interesting but a little circular. You need to know the 2nd derivative EXISTS in order to apply the symmetric 2nd derivative. The way of knowing that is... pretty much the chain rule.
@@Yougottacryforthis I want to see if bprp can get exact form like x^x = 2 Normally it’s just numerical estimation but he used Lambert W. Can he use the lambert w or other ways to do the request in exact form?
Proving that the second symmetric derivative equals the second derivative, on the assumption that the second derivative exists, is not too bad; the function must be differentiable on a neighbourhood of the point, so you can use L'Hôpital's Rule. That reduces it to the symmetric derivative of the derivative. However, proving that the symmetric derivative equals the derivative, on the assumption that the derivative exists, is harder, because it might not be differentiable anywhere else, so you can't use L'Hôpital's Rule.

Ok, i have an issue. If you assume sin(alpha+beta) for sin(A). Youre also implying a relationship between A and B. You might say, well ive got x+h and x-h but they are squared. So if i would have gotten to this point i probably wouldnt have persued this attempt because of the implied relationship whuch you cant see in the limit.
Why aren't we deriving normally? Why do we have to use the limit definition? Wrote the comment right before the end part of the video. Guess we're looking to find the hard way to solve it. I thought there was a catch if we solved it with the normal deriving method.
