I've already learned this like 8 years ago, my job doesn't even require math. I just came here to watch a legend
So why are you telling us
Mac David Solomon he’s telling you how much he admires his lecture. I am in the same boat. people that post stuff like this deserve praise. This video series help me a lot.
No one cares. Paisa kama jake
@@GantavyaDhandaB I care bro
@@xander7001 me too i care bro :)
I haven't done advanced math since I left college. This is incredibly clear. My professors never made it this clear. Keep it up.
Wait this is advanced math ??
@@electric_deer2007 it's a beginning
Not all heroes wear capes
oh so true
How do you know that he's not wearing a cape? ;)
Not all heroes wear underwear over their pants....
cool man!
some make calculus tutorials to save us from professors who don't even speak coherent or understandable English when that's the only language spoken by every student in the class.
Me: I'm failing calculus
Sal: I'm gonna stop you right there
Lim. Exam(calculus)= Passs
You->Sal
@@BharCode09 lol
I really enjoy a good refresher. My grandmother was a high school teacher for 43 years, so I know that it takes a great person to be a great teacher, and Mr. Khan is one of those few great teachers.
sorry to bother you can you explain to me why in 7:08 the gap/limit is on positive y4? how did he know it had to be on point (x2, y4)? I understand the x2 part but not the y4 part. Also why is it that we define the entire parabola as "x^2" (from x^2, x≠2) not equal to when 1 (from 1,x=2) is just the placement on the y axis? I hope I make sense please please help me
@@shannenlibres2365 It's been a year. Did you figure it out?
@@shannenlibres2365 because that's just how the function is defined. When x=2, in other words , f(2)= 1 not 4 because the value of the function when x=2 is 1. The x axis represents the values of x, the y axis represents the values of the function. Because of what I previously said , 4 can not be a value of x=2 , because f(2)=1 but can be a value of f(-2) because -2 is not equal to 2 , therefore f(-2)=4.
You are a hero! I have a quiz tomorrow on functions, limits, and derivatives and I knew nothing! At least now I know the basics. Thank you so much.
+Wolfie Swifty How did the quiz go?
did you do well?
+Wolfie Swifty Did you pass your quiz?
+Wolfie Swifty We will NEVER know what heppened during this quizz
+Wolfie Swifty he prolly got a 60 or something, one video isnt gonna do shit to prepare for a quiz he doesn't know anything bout
I find it so helpful how these videos don't have fluff in the beginning and end, they just get straight to the point and don't waste any of your time.
yes
Taking AP Calc AB this year. I'm absolutely terrified... but Khan Academy is truly a blessing and makes me feel more confident.
fr dude... ap calc ab is saved because of khan academy :)

@@shannenlibres2365 well at first you just draw the graph of g(x) = x^2. Now it's given that x is not defined at 2 so you just omit that coordinate where x=2. It's just like you're painting a white wall of your house into any other color, than you realize that ohh i didn't want to color this part of the wall and you just paint it white again.
Your parabolas are beautiful, don't let ANYBODY tell you otherwise.
Real people don't judge a parabola by its curves, but by its personality :)
If anyone didn't get Red Wolf's comment, search up "There's only one true parabola" and click on Matt's video
@Teringventje Stfu
Benson luo when graphing quadratic functions you get a parabola this U shape

I'm so happy that I finished college and dont have to watch these videos anymore...
Congrats!! ( I know its an old comment, you may be married now)

But I challange that u will see these types of video again if u get any doubt
😭 lucky u. Congrats
@@commonemail4153 congrats bro🔥🔥
This teacher is definitely the god sent soul to help a million of students in maths.
I wish I should have seen this channel earlier….
im a junior this year and learned basically nothing my sophmore year so im spending my summer watching your channel and actually oddly enjoying actually understanding math and pre calculus
same
you do calculus in junior year?????
I never enjoyed math until Sal Khan came along.
Yeah, we do calculus in our junior in year( In India at the very least)
saraa I did calculus junior year because I got ahead in math freshman year
You guys are some pretty swaggy people. Whatever you're paid you still deserve a raise. Helping these people with math, you're basically heroes.
When im frustrated and about to give up and i hear Sals voice its instant reassurance and calmness. The way he approaches all topics is amazing
Khan your a lucky guy. There are probably girls that are in love with you just because of your awesome teaching style and your voice.
Mr. Khan does not make videos..
These videos are made by any one out there. Even we can make a video and send it.
Reva DS What? They are made by him. All of those videos have the same voice and it's Mr Khan's voice.
IxMeTutorials No, Reva DS is right, these ones all just happen to be by the same guy, but at Khan Academy there are many, many, different instructors from all over the world.
Jonny Bloom Thats true but this particular video is actually voiced by Mr Khan himself.
and you probably saved them from failing multiple times lmao
I have a maths exam in 4 days and this really helped me understand limits, part of what my teacher calls: 'conceptual understanding' and expects us to know. Thank you so so so much.
we need to understand that we are equally as capable of understanding something as our teachers but for knowledge to be transferred whole from one mind to the other, perfect communication is the key
Nope, not always the case
IQ changes the effort and time needed
Yeah, you explained what my Calculus teacher confounded me with for 3 hours. I didn't grasp anything in that class today...but, you are a true teacher...not an expecter!
Khan, can you please let me know what software you are using? I'm pretty sure it's not SmoothDraw anymore (since I use that myself). I am redoing your vids in Spanish. Thanks!
look where u at now, 207K subs, bruh.

when you don't even understand khan academy, you know all hope it's lost 😭😭😭😭
+Domonique Thompson Maybe you should revisit some of the lower level content first? Idk what to tell ya. I've gotten farther in mathematics via Khan Academy than I ever did in K-12 schooling (USA).

life saver!!! I started calculus and the teacher skipped through the limits and i over thought it I knew what the limit or "the closer to" meant, but didn't know how to implement it into the graph.
Calculus students don’t fret if you don’t grasp limits. They are only proofs that calculus is valid. Unless you are a mathematics major, you will only encounter limits superficially in other scientific courses. What you are being taught now was not developed until the 1880s. This means that all the progress with calculus from the time of Newton and Leibniz in the 1680s was achieved without any satisfactory validating proofs as to why calculus worked. Derivatives can be achieved according to a set of rules; integrals have fewer useful rules; limits have no rules. Each limit problem requires a different approach, and examples provided are usually too simple to help. When you reach the point of not knowing how to
proceed, you are in a pool of millions. Don't get discouraged, the rest of calculus is much easier to understand.
I'm not discouraged now, but will be when I bombed my exam.
THANK YOU! Starting calc in about a month and haven't done precalc since 2006 and I'm FREAKING THE HELL OUT and trying to determine what to focus on for review.
There are 3 or 4 texts on infinitesimal calculus which go directly to the definitions of the D, by augmenting the Reals with infinitesimals. They then put 150 pages on limits into the appendix, but that's neither here nor there. Fluxions (infinitesimals) are intuitive but had no rigor, and it took a few centuries for someone to put the rigor into them, but then the damage was done so we're stuck with limits.
It is hard to learn about limits because my internet connection is limited
Hahaha, then it should be easy.
Its hard to learn about limits because my brain cells are limited
@@olivialew8175
Even with limited brain cells, you can play RPGs that also use numbers as well.
What about sit in rooms where the connections is approaching the limit?
I cannot begin to tell you how grateful I am for these videos. I'm a sophomore in an incredibly fast-paced calculus class and have gone home every day crying, desperately trying to solve my work with almost no understanding of it. This helps a lot, thank you.
Kalina Manova ur a sophomore in a calc class?? woww are u like advanced or something? i’m a junior in ap calc and i’m already struggling

Gets bored. Invents Calculus. Issac Newton in a nutshell.
+Andrew Deen Hi didn't actually deal with or prove limits XD. But a genius indeed
Andrew Deen for some reason, your comment made me laugh
Yes between quarantining himself from the bubonic plague for 10 years and living that great life of celibacy he was able to master calculus.
Lol in the words of Neil degrasse Tyson: “he invented calculus. Then he turned 26.”
Nobody:

You are a life saver. Whenever I need help for Calculus, I will always go to you since you can help me get out of the dumps.
SAL! Seriously i dont know how i would have made the exams without you! I am sure to pass Chemistry and calculus becouse of u. I am sure to pass biology, if i watch all of ur videos about biology! I owe u big time! Tnx man!
Really, I'm in the 9th grade and finished watching this video with a basic knowledge of calculus. Thanks Sal, you're a hero.
ummmmm... yeah this isnt an intro to all of calculus buddy. This is a good fundamental of calc, but only a raindrop in the ocean of calculus. Watch 3Brow1Blue's vid compilation on calculus. That vid series pretty much introduces every large concept youll learn in Calc 1. Limits barely introduce applications of derivatives and integrals.
have you completed all calc classes?
@@ricardomilos1784 ??? All Calc classes? Specifications please
You're doing a more amazing job than you think. Helping millions of people understand limits around the world is a huge feat.
I remember, when I first learned this concept, I just thought of it as asking, "Where is the hole?"
Lars Magnus Samuelsson Svenssonsenn Magnussvensamuelsson Thor Nah, I've had lots of practice.

My lectures is making it looks difficult and class so bored... Just find out from a friend and after watching few videos I think have leant a lot... Kudos Khan Academy...
Everytime I have to search up khan academy yk it’s gonna be a bad semester.
this stuff is a life saver when calculating time complexity in my computer science courses
This dude has spent thousands of hours helping students of all ages for free. Bro IS philanthropy
Calculus is infact so easy - only thing is: thinking its difficult before even studying it

I'm swallowing my pride and asked so many people in the comments here in case nobody responds to me. Nobody has yet.
@@shannenlibres2365 i know I'm 2 weeks late but, the gap signifies that that particular value of x does not satisfy the equation of y. So we know that at x=2, y does not equal to x^2, instead y=1 at x=2. Thus gap is inserted in the parabola at y=4 to show that that particular equation (y=x^2) does not satisfy at x=2. Hope it helps.
I just can't tell you how thankful I am, for people like you Sal.

oh and these videos have already helped me pass 7 tests so thank you so much :) your a life saver
this really helps me in providing a visual image to make my students understand about limit and continuity, thank you very much
My favorite thing about Sal is he gives me asmr feelings, but he teaches me.
can’t believe this got ratio’d by dapz
Super glad there are others to explain this!! While Math is a universal language I found it really hard to understand what my Professor was trying to convey with his heavy accent.
Did anyone else notice that, Sal's got an amazing voice or is it just me?
Han jab kisi ke ya kisi ki awaj se familiar ho jane pe accha hi lgta h 😁😂
I'm just leaving this comment here so that after sometime when I look back on my past self, I remember the soul of that 10th grader who had just entered eleventh and found that it was not necessarily what they had always thought it'd be but something worthwhile at least and something that'll remind them of the rawness and beauty that once existed in life.
So long, me.
this is actually pretty sweet I'm thinking about going into mechanical engineering and there's a lot of calculus involved I'm definitely gonna watch the hell out of this channel.
from a mechanical engineering student, you better be ready lol and this channel will help you a lot too
the major is really kinda scaring me. I'm doing an AA in automotive technology and we go over some engineering through our courses but math and chem have always been my kryptonite...
Chemistry is easy if you put time into it and you like it. It's actually really interesting.
I've taken two years of it and I hate it with a burning passion. I've also had crap teachers who never helped me out with stuff I had difficulty with so that also didn't help
Thank God for Khan Academy! You will save me in my college Calculus class! :)
Watching these is the best way to review for an exam.
Dear Khan, I am pretty sure that you are a good teacher. I mean, I passed my test, you know... However, I can't stand your voice. You never change the tone of it while you are talking. Other than that, so proud of you fam. 4.5M subscribes. You must be making hella cash.

Calculator:HAHA! GET REKT M8
I am happy to say that while I was absoloutley confused on what a limit was I finally had some idea on the topic by the end of the video
the first example would've been easier to understand if both of the variable x and y were not 1 cause that confuses people...
I agree to that
Or if it was x-2/x-2
honestly this kind of videos is a lot better than my teacher.
my teacher made this way harder than needed
I love you khan Academy, Every time I watch your videos, my basic concepts become more clear.
Brilliant explanation! You are a really talented teacher.
My professor never taught the basics. So I never felt the math and didn't understand a single class. After watching the video, it is so simple and interesting to me.
Thank you Khan academy ❤
This is better than how my teacher would explain it
My calc teacher didn’t even bother to teach me this. Just told the entire class to pull up this video. Only bums don’t actually teach their class.
I love how Khan got back into making calculus videos
That joke about parabola made things lighter for me😂. It just makes me feel at ease in this serious topic
writing a calculus test today..this is helping alot
I feel bad for your students. Mate if your watching this video u are not a real teacher you are a bum
This video is only for children under the age of 16
This lecture is really helpful. Thank you so much
This is so cool to learn calculus ahead of time, very simply explained
Im taking calc now and its going to be hard. I love math even though i'm bad at it. My positive attitude and work ethic are reasons i do well. I admire math and i want to be the best i can be at it! I have to put in the time though!! I took statistics last semester and got an A and my teacher was phenominal. However, calculus is algebra based and that is my weaker area. My teacher is an older asian woman and we dont connect😐 i look around at the other students and they all have a pissed off look on there face because she doesnt teach well at all. Thank you khan academy for helping me and thank you to all the fellow youtubers who respect this subject.
You can do it. With enough determination and motivation of course.

As a Japanese,we were thought this and understood in 16 years old.
Of course it was so hard
Thanks sir u are really making students lives simpler with this amazing teaching of yours .
Sal, you are the greatest teacher there is, thank you for all your time.
what this whole video is saying is for any given function, the given limit is equal to whatever point the function is approaching. just saved you 11 min
footeythegreat you need to show work
Yeah, but the insight is that you can do this even when you approach an x-value that isn't in the domain of the function.
This makes a lot of sense to me. I hate how in high school the teachers made things seem so complicated.
Thank you so much for all of your hard work. I really appreciate it. 😊😊 ✨✨✨

stop reading the comments and pay attention

This is a lot more helpful than the lectures I pay for
"Not the most beautifully drawn parabola in the history of drawing parabolas" 😂
