    After 3 months of uni lectures it took me 3 mins of this great man's video to finally understand the concept of derivatives

      @@rubyleon1038 11th grade if you’re way ahead of your class, 12th if you’re ahead or on track with your class, depending on the school, or your first college math course if you’re catching up... and you may want to learn this in a high school classroom rather than a college classroom, where you cannot talk to your professor after class/after school.

    Wow I really just absorbed all of this unit in 15 minutes...
    I was an ace student in my math courses up until MA 241 (level 1 calculus) in my first year of college. I’d been struggling to understand a single damn thing from my Calculus textbook or any of the lectures we had, and was convinced math and physics was not my future after all.
    Thank you so much. It’s time to turn this grade around!

    I am convinced that college doesn’t always teach these things as well as highschool would. In most of my classes, we just listen to a lecture, the professor leaves, and we have to do our work(our only practice) after class, on our own time, and chances are on our own.
    I think I took for granted how helpful my teachers in highschool were. I never would’ve realized that it could ever be anything other than that.

    @joshjones2650 3 года назад +2

    I am new to this, so I have a question. Does it have to be simplified before finding the derivative? I am asking this because if you take y=x^2, you will get a derivative of y=2x, but if you take it from y=x*x, you will get y=1*1, so you will get y=1, which is different from y=2x.
