This is fascinating after taking your Precalculus/Trigonometry course. Knowing how you can use sin and cos to model oscillations and now being able to obtain the rate of change at a given time is really enlightening. I tried going through this course several years ago, and this lecture was so perplexing at the time, not knowing the prerequisites, that I gave up. Now 4 years later it seems really easy. Filling in that missing puzzle piece in your course list was clutch sir, and needed for so many of us.
I am preparing for my Calc class for spring 2019 with my former trig teacher in spring of 2016. I earned an A in trigonometry in her class. I got a B in Precalculus with a teacher that talked really fast. I had to take a 2 year break from school in 2017 due to life struggles but during those two years I have been watching math videos and looking over my notes. I am going to do whatever it takes to understand Calculus so I can go on towards Calc 2 and Calc 3 and Professor Leonard's videos has helped so much in understanding Math, thank you. I also noticed a pattern in the derivatives of trig functions. Every trig function that starts with a "C" (Cos, CSC, COT), the derivative is going to be a negative. Pair TAN with SEC and COT with CSC.
@@quanesshatheseventeenth8617 yes. I received a high A in Calculus 1, Calculus 2 and Calculus 3. I have to say thank you to professor Leonard's videos as well as taking a good instructor that was a visual learner like me. Now I have been tutoring those classes for the past 3 years.
Even today, 2023. Professor Leonard videos are still relevant and essential. I can spend all day watching his videos. Makes maths look easier. I was not performing really well on my studies but since I started watching him. My maths results are getting better and better. Masterpiece in Maths. FROM SOUTH AFRICA
I used to cry out of frustration during my first semester calculus, thank god I found this channel. Not only helped me understand but also helped my mental health. Now calc is kinda fun haha
I wish my calculus teacher was like you , if there is someone who's making me feel like calculus is fun to learn then it is surely you , Prof Leonard , thank you so much for all your videos.
Sir, from your previous lectures finally I've learned how to easily prove if a mathematical expression is true or not. Thank you for your work. I'm proud to say I can finally prove derivatives of trigonometric functions by myself without asking someone.
Thanks for making these, like all the others have said and will continue to do. I'm a somewhat older student coming to university for the first time. At the recommendation of my college I went through a precalculus and calculus I sequence that for some reason included NO trigonometry. I didn't realize what I was getting into at the time or what I was missing out on, but I've since transferred to a new university and into a calculus II class (somehow my calc I class transferred despite the curriculum covering NO trig) and am scrambling to catch up in some ways. Of course I'm ahead in others as my old school Calculus I course covered almost all the topics concerning integration and The Fundamental Theorem normally covered in calculus II. I did take trigonometry in high school, but that was a while back. These lectures are rather helpful. All I really need is to get my hands on a good trig handbook now to cover those fundamental parts.
You will generally find trigonometry covered well in just a few chapters of a precalculus book. I recommend Algebra Structure and Method by Dolciani and Brown or Advanced Mathematics by Brown. These books are written in a lean style, but given that you have done some coursework beyond this level, you should be able to handle it and will benefit in your future math by getting comfortable with this style of writing. The exercises are well-chosen. If you can do the A and B level ones, you will be fine for calculus, but I recommend working on the hard C level exercises, too, because, as I said, they are well-chosen. Dolciani also wrote Modern Advanced Analysis, also written in a lean style, which has chapters on trigonometry (and even has some other chapters introducing calculus). All these books are long out of print, but are available used at reasonable prices. I carefully worked through the first two of these books, in the order listed, and they have been a huge help. Another choice is Larson's Precalculus. This is a book still in popular use, although I would save a couple bucks and not buy the very latest edition.
Thank you. I appreciate the recommendations for textbooks and I will check them out. I was surprised, when I tried to consult my professors on this topic I was met with just some shock, they didn't have much to say on the topic of recommended texts, so I figured I'd turn to sources like this or MIT Open Courseware to do some self-study. I'm actually in school for physics and mathematics, so I will be using trig quite often and I don't feel intimidated by sitting down to read a math text. Those sound just like I was looking for.
Based on your reply, I am even more comfortable recommending the Algebra Structure and Method Book II (I should have added the book II part above; there is a book I, which is first year algebra-too easy for you, and no trig) or Advanced Mathematics book to you for the trig (and precalculus in general). You seem to have more than enough mathematical maturity to handle their style, and will actually benefit from getting used to it. For other people reading this chain: In general, since you are on a calculus video website, you are most likely able to benefit from these old Brown and Dolciani books as a good precalculus reference and source for brushing up. These books can be a little tough for those intimidated by math and who don't have a good teacher. My personal story with them is that I had the Algebra I book way, way back in time (in the 8th grade). My teacher wasn't good, my parents didn't know enough math to help, and I was a pretty lazy student, so it didn't work out for me, and I actually blamed the books a lot (unfairly, instead of blaming myself-although I did blame my teacher, too, and he deserved it). As an adult, I came back to the series and really appreciated it. The writing style is an austere math writing style and there aren't tons of worked examples. But the exercise sets take you carefully from easy to pretty hard. There are solutions manuals available for sale, but in contrast to the low price of these old, used books, they are expensive.
For all students who visit this guy's RUclips channel"this guy deserves way more"(thanks prof for being a cool teacher I admire you...we all are lucky to find you ..)and I know I am not the only one whose complete perspective of calculus changes within one playslist You will forever be my favourite teacher❤️ Thank you my real life superman🙌 Ps(yeah I know he don't check comments)
Thanks so much! I have watched many videos, but I find yours are always the best!! I'm taking calculus right now in the spring semester and was getting lost with my professor.... you're saving my semester!! you explain the concept really well.
I needed a solid refresher on calculus 1, i may end up just watching his videos through the end of calculus 3 just so i can zone out in future classes.
"no sense of humor today at all... nothing, stand up next time maybe you'll get it" tell me why I busted out laughing. Professor Leonard, really appreciate your class they are making miracles happen one lecture at a time.
Derivatives are awesome, easier than electromagnetism in physics. I could never do Coulomb's Law or any of those formulas related to electromagnetism like I do derivatives. Non-Newtonian physics is even more complex than linear algebra.

38:15 The student actually had a good question... the professor's explanation helped me finally understand why d/dx(sin(x)) is cos(x). I feel so enlightened....
Ok I seriously need to have him as my new teacher. He has helped me to decipher Calc and help me complete my goal of completing Calc 1 by 16 years old. This is much appreciated. You have my many thanks.
i swear if you were to come to south africa we would laugh at every single one of your jokes ,we just dizzy like that😂😂(you got the quietest class ever)
I am having a problem with sin(h)/h and cos(h)/h as h -> 0. It seems you are dividing by zero. Can you direct me to where that proof is explained better? I am missing something. Maybe there is a textbook that explains it better? I have already taken all the Calculus classes and am going over all my classes. Calculus is, by far, the most interesting subject I have ever taken and I'm wanting to understand stuff I glossed over before.
Sorry this is late, but if you've seen the earlier videos, the limit as h->0 doesn't mean h = 0, because then why use limits? We use limits to say what happens as h gets arbitrarily close to being 0, while still avoiding the domain issue. It's really a neat trick
As a note: There's a mistake at the beginning: It should read limit of x approaches 0, not h. For sin(x)/x and (1-cos(x))/x. Later the usage of h is correct. After the break both expressions are corrected.
I have an eternal problem with sin(h)/h =1 as h -> 0. I can use L'hopital's rule when limits become 0/0 then sin(0)/0 evaluates to cos(0)/1 which is 1.
I have one doubt at time 32:45 . Since 'x' is variable, and cos(x) could possibly be -1 somewhere, therefore 1+cos(x) could be 0 somewhere. Then, how did we cancel this expression [1+cos(x)] from numerator and denominator?
at that of x=(2n+1)pi point the function y wouldn’t exist .. so we wouldn’t be taking the derivative in the first place .. if we are taking the the derivative of a function it means that it should exist .. and so cosx is not -1.. and hence can be cancelled

i remember it like sin is - mean sin and csc. and tan is sec and cot is -csc

In the word problem would you get just -sin(X) instead of 3sin(X)? given that the derivative of -3 is 0
