    breaks into high security nuclear facility on a bicycle, lays down in field and talks about math for a bit then develops super human intelligence after exposure to experimental radiation. All in the name of educating the masses. What a MathPunk.

    You can only really get math through total understanding of a principle, and then using that principle you can understand another and another and so on. Schools prioritize memory tricks over complete understanding and so often leads to a collapse of understanding and interest. This video is not only amazing but should be used as a standard for how and why slow built understanding is far better than quick memory tricks. Well done!

    I was a Structural Engineer, but always struggled with sin, cosine and tan. The university didn't explain it they way you did. Now at 71 years old I get it thanks to you. A bit late, but just so cool. Thank you.

      Mr. Jay, (the youtuber) you have no idea what sine = sinus mean, It's not Verb, not an Angle, Not a Noun, >>> it's an Adjective, A qualifying Adjective. It's a Height, It's a Height that has some quality, It's the height generated by a rotating Radius anticlockwise generating a circle. . It's the height of a cavity, Cavity = sinus = sine, And it's expressed in proportion of the radius.

    @Arran1994 3 года назад +16

    Fantastic tutorial!
    You teach maths wholly, where lecturers teach within the narrow bandwidth of the grade, assuming the base of lower grades to already exist and ignoring what is above, you teach maths as a contextual whole for the purpose of genuine understanding, rather than teaching an out of context piece surrounded by an ambiguous fog to be memorized for later disposal.
    You are a good teacher man, thank you.
    This is the kind of teaching that gives value instead of one-use single-purpose throw away tools.
    I'm just hoping you have a video on parabolas now!
    Edit: No parabola video 😭😄

English is not my mother tongue, it is my second language, but your explanation about sine consine, etc as not tangible things seems to me the best explanation I ever found in RUclips. You made it simple and clear so it has been easier to understand, even easier than I 've watched before spoken in my mother tongue. I really appreciate it so much and I am so grateful for finding your video. Thanks a lot my friend.

    This helped me so so much- teachers and other videos almost always only tell you how to do it but not what it IS and WHY you do it. Not only did you explain that in a way that was easy to understand you did so in different environments so it wasn't a dull white computer screen the whole time. It helped keep me focused and engaged which is really difficult to do when it comes to math 😅😂 I absolutely loved this video, thank you so much!

    Let's begin the story. Well i am bachelor student of computer science, i started the lectures of MIT neural nets...some question raised on my mind(that is how neural nets starts to ask question to machine) then from that i went down to linear algebra, again down to multivariable calculus then single variable calculus then to algebra then to tangent and trigonometric graphs and function after that i got the question ,where does sin came from so searching on the whole web i found you. That gives the answer to some of my question.AT LAST I LAUGH WELL how did i pass to bachelor though i secured good marks in math.
    CONCLUSION: You are amazing so keep exploring math in your way. I can assure you are gonna achieve some big things one day.

  • @i_am_gods_child
    @i_am_gods_child 3 года назад +1

    hi so y'know how you have those literal lightbulb moments about maths when something just becomes so OBVIOUS, when you didn't understand for a very long time before? I've already had more of those moments after watching the first 5 minutes of this video than I have in school this entire term. Excited to watch the next half an hour!!!!!
    Edit: I got the end, I have indeed understood many things, and in the best way, like those moments I was talking about above when it just clicks and you go 'ohhh yeah of courseee!' So, thankyou so so much for this.

    The last grade I completely finished in school was the eight ,: about a year later I passed The GED ; it was easy. However, it was in 1963. I wondered why I was not offered level higher jobs, so I did mostly construction work. Now I am retired and recently passed a legitimate GED, but it took approximately two years of study. Now I have been wanting to learn trig and had doubts about whether I could ever learn it, your video started at my level and developed it. Answering questions I could not vocalize.
