    Difficult subjects don't exists, but bad teachers do! Thanks for being one of the best. I like how you take your time and don't rush through the concepts.

      I took quite a few math courses in college, but none of my instructors were as good as Professor
      Leonard in making the subject matter clear. I have to disagree with you though that difficult subjects
      don't exist. Difficult subjects exist even for the most brilliant people.

      @@guitarista666 Whenever you find a subject too difficult, just remind yourself that it is developed by evolved monkeys! Thinking that a subject is difficult is actually a major set back when trying to learn it. If you have a good teacher and you spend enough time, you will see the footsteps of evolved monkeys in literally every subject.

      @@matchmaticians5856 The US Army says that anyone who has an IQ of 83 or lower is too dumb to be taught how to perform any task that is useful to the Army. They have spent a lot of effort and money on this issue so we should take their conclusion seriously.. I know you're trying to be hopeful on this issue, but what you're saying flies in the face of the field of psychological testing. They say IQ matters and they can prove it. You should listen to them.

    So I graduated with a BS in math a year ago. Professor L, you helped me all the way through. Im getting rusty and this was the first one of your lectures (in a diverse plan) that I know will help me back to my game. Thank you so very much. You are a wonderful instructor. Please keep up the great work.

    18:10 - What were ancient mathematicians doing when they created the trig symbols: it would be symmetric and thus more intuitive in this pairwise: sine vs. cosine=sine^-1 (currently cosecant=sine^-1); secant vs. cosecant=secant^-1 (currently secant=cosine^-1); tangent vs. cotangent=tangent^-1 (current form).

      @@user-qy6tu9ip9v where do I start? I guess the first one would be the numbers. Where do they come from? The answer to that is polynomials, Chebyshev Polynomials. So it's not just those numbers in the unit circle, there are infinite numbers and they all have polynomials associated with them. They start mixing in complex numbers at the seventh chebyshev polynomial. Those Chebyshev Polynomials have their own rabbit hole that involves pretty much every sequence in the OEIS database including Fibonacci/Lucas Polynomials. Which goes to Tribonacci Numbers and Polynomials. There is a Tribonacci Polynomial set that nobody even knows about.
      x, x^3+1, x^2*(x^3+2), x*(x^6+3*x^3+2), x^9+4*x^6+5*x^3+1 ..
      Then there is a unit ellipse with all the same polynomial stuff. Both of which are used in Mandelbrot Sets.
