When an equation you spent a week on in calc 1 and then never used again suddenly appears in calc 2, it's like a celebrity cameo in a sitcom
As someone currently taking calc 2, I wholeheartedly agree.
Lol so true, no lie I hated Calc, but glad I took it.
Or you get your computer to do it for you.
@@vincetaliaferro2777 do what? Teach you calculus?
Also I'm a software engineer, preaching to the choir
@@vincetaliaferro2777 🤡🤡
The way he said “my friends” . Lol
He goes home and fucks the book.
"Neil please start reading from page 34"
"Um... miss, I can't. It's... stuck."
"Okay then just skip to 35"
"I meant the entire book"
"GOD FUCKING DAMN OT NEIL YOU HAVE TO STOP"

Very true.
Calculus was the first moment of actual enlightenment in my life.
I had failed my high school finals for 2 years.
I didn't understand shiit, and i refused to understand it as my teachers were busy shoving the formula remembering ScmHIdT into my brain, but my one math teacher told me of a graphical approach.
Took me time but and it hit me completely random when I was in the toilet, but understanding the purpose of integral calculus to find out the area under the curve made me a new sense and created a whole new world to me. That was THE REDIFINING moment in my scientific education.
6 years later, I'm a mechanical engineer dealing with car chassis, HVAC for buildings and 3d printing. Sure, i was late to finish the race, and maybe i was a disappointment to most of the ppl around me, but now i know that my scientific and mathematic education will be lifelong.
My next step for learning is to apply advanced math through softwares like MATLAB to solve real-life problems and create new designs.
Sorry if I seem like a retard y'all. I may be dumb to take so damn long to finish my school and it was damn humiliating, but the the sheer duckn joy of actual understanding, its like weed combined with sunrise at a beach. No humiliation is too high to feel the sheer joy of total assimilation of a concept, to ponder upon its implications.
"...but now I know that my scientific and mathematical education will be lifelong."
_This_ is the important thing, and the basis of your success. 👊🏼
More power to you!
If you learned to math you can learn to write. Keep at it!
Most people never learn, and never get the extreme satisfaction of knowing that the world we engineered for ourselves wasn't made with magic. Good for you.. -A fellow late bloomer.
Thats awesome. But why were you in a toilet?
My calc teacher showed my class this at the end of the year… perfect timing
Decent teacher.
Mine showed us all the final exam answers because she didn’t know how to teach it herself lmao.
@@Bloodybayon3t lmao
@@Bloodybayon3t no, no, that's working smart, not working hard :))

What's really funny is the fact that there is nobody in the room with Neil. He's just talking to a camera.
You hear another person grunt in the background.
He’s speaking to a math equation. NDT has ascended and humans are no longer able to converse with him. He only speaks to math equations now.
Mainly cuz he just interrupts everything with a pulse…
Hes talking to himself
@@stop736 🗿
😂good one, talking to himself❤
Calculus is just the simplification of a LOT of algebra. I remember in Calc. 1 reducing a large algebraic formula into an integral. Crazy stuff, but fundamental. Engineering physics helped me actually understand, physically/mentally, how integration works. I used to hate mathematics, but physics gave it meaning.
I've tried explaining exactly this and ppl just stare blankly at me lol, I think I understand math more than I understand other humans..
@@MamaSnuggles because numbers are predictable and humans are not.
I'm not very good at math, but I think it's crazy how people manage to do such high level math. It's a whole realm of knowledge that I've only scratched the surface of.
School literally just teaching it the wrong way, I don't blame if you hated it
@@MamaSnuggles understanding humans gets you ass tho
I will NEVER talk that passionately about math in my life ever 😂
Hi Jay,
Math is a funny thing. All of it was very hard for me. Always. But now, decades later, when some things come up, frequently I at least know what they are talking about. I may not do the problem, but its not 100% Greek to me either. Then I smile and go do something else!
@@michaeldougfir9807 Hey Michael. I completely understand, I hated it even though I’ve always had good grades in math. It’s a hate and curiosity thing with me, I’ll nag about it but at the same time I want to understand how and get the right answer then feel good especially when I’m able to calculate it in my head as it is very hard for me still to do mental math unless it’s basic math.
You say that now. I finished college with degrees in economics and psychology. I’d jokingly say I was going to graduate with not one but two degrees I’d never use. And. Now 20 years later I use both. Daily.
math is the reason you're able to type in your comment on a phone.
simple desire to learn what better excuse to expand your horizons...🤔☯️✌️🙏☝️
Neil's mom:
"So, does Neil have friends in school?"
Teacher:
"Suuure, he's got, uhm.. "math friends".
I'm sorry, but any mother would have tears of joy for that 😂
He was a jock.
I could not hangout with him...
@@MrGlassman11 Well, no, because he's a r_ a _ p _ i _ s _ t _.
Yes, he is, people, look it up. Loving the sound of his voice is the least of his flaws...
"He's got a number of friends" *
When training for a difficult job, I would leave the work day thinking I'd never remember all of it. But I would always surprise myself the following day when I realized I had remembered more than I thought. So after that, whenever I'd find myself in that type of situation, I'd remind myself to sleep on it.
I love reflecting on my past confusion on things, I used to say “this is impossible” but when I actually practice it it becomes so routine I end up saying other even harder things are impossible, but even then I beat those too
Persistence is the key.. for these difficult endeavors.. I had a 2.6 2.7 GPA in computer science and I've been working as an engineer for over 15 years I figured it out I learned the skill I got better persistence is key but I never give up attitude
Currently retaking Intro to Java lol. I pretty much get it this time but I’m guessing it only gets harder from here. Hoping at some point in the degree you kind of “get over the hump” and it gets easier, but not holding my breathe lol.
@@jpm7049 the more you do it.. the easier it gets.. the more you read and study and code .. the easier it gets.. it's helped me to see so many large code bases over the years.. I've seen things done wrong and I've seen things done correctly... Anybody can code.. but can you structure your cide, can it grow and is it efficient.. the more time you out into it.. the better you get .. that's just how it is
@@mauriciosuarez7420 I’ll keep that in mind. Thanks for the feedback.
I absolutely love this man. I could talk with him for days straight.
🤣🤣🤣 he's a phony
Kidding me?, verbal waterboarding.
You could listen.....
I love the guy too, I notice the anti-intellectual types hate him though
@@shawnabear6756 “verbal waterboarding” damn 💀
What a great man !, He inspires me
He becsme friends with an equation
I remember when I couldn’t understand algebra. It wasn’t a required subject then. Took it in college and when it hit I was in shear awe
My dad always told me one day it would just “click.” I didn’t believe him till it happened lmao
Algebra is easy as fuck
@@Forexyz it's very hard for me and a lot of others, I'm only in 11th grade and cant do anything above 2nd grade math
He loves his own voice
Honestly I do too 😅

@@arunsigamani1 so you came here to hate instead of leaving a relevant comment? He was asked a question. You were not. Move along.
An unbelievably simple and thus very effective speech by my hero.
I went through regular school, tutors, summer class, remedial classes, and a fuck ton of youtube videos just so I can understand calculus.
Completely forgot all that shit 1 week into the summer
That's precisely why for most people it's useless. It's learned with the sole purpose of passing a few tests and quickly forgotten
😂 Hilarious comment!
I hate calculus. My professor made us memorize all the half angle formulas and shit. No "cheat sheet". Dogshit
I feel your pain through the screen. Lol
Only half angles??
@@anipeco4320 no, other formulas too. Like the trig identities and stuff
That sounds more like trig than calculus
@@jack_papel Nah calculus has a lot of trig identities for sum and difference, quotient identities, half angle, etc.
I remember when I used to like Dr. Niel Degrasse Tyson...
No you support trump and hate the truth right lol
@@JC-qz8ox I voted for Biden. Not sure what politics has do with me not like a physicist who has an ego larger than the universe 🤔 Go sit down snowflake 😆
You jump on bandwagons like a clueless bot make your own decisions for once
Maybe stop watching videos about him.
This is me every semester lol
The best way I learned anything was a from a math teacher at school, it started with algebra, I told him, no I can't do, I don't understand and he said to me, ok, if you don't think you can do it,,, fine,, you limit yourself, be lazy, but don't bother to blame anybody for what you didn't do, and you have to agree with anyone that tells you that you're not capable and will never achieve because you're limiting yourself already, that infuriated me but in a good way to motivate me, I didn't double down on my strengths, I doubled down on my weaknesses and managed to make myself understand things that otherwise, my brain would have looked at it and said, no were not doing that. We are the masters of ourselves and we can do anything as long as we don't limit ourselves.
Wow so humble. So selfless. We’re so lucky this man graces us with his intellect.
Insecure about your own intellect?
🤣
That "give me more" is the fuel for persistence and success
For me it was the Army’s Bradley BFV and getting to know the Brad and it’s mechanical and electronic components gives me a completely different outlook on life!!!
is that a tank? why did it give you a different outlook on life? the mechatronics aspect of it?
@@Your_Daily_Scroll "mechatronics" wtfff, I didn't know that was a word 😆😆
Which has exactly *what* to do with calculus and/or Mathematics?
@@OdysseusAres5500
The Bradley fire control system uses a ton of mathematics to figure out its ballistic solutions.
That’s of course done by computer, but the operator can really appreciate the math behind getting steel on target.
Good advice. Have an open mind when you face a challenge that seems insurmountable; it's also a good idea when you encounter people and things that are different from you.
Hes like the comedic relief/punchline in a disney movie
Yeah, Goofy
And my college expect me to learn calculus in 2 months then proceed to a final exam
I feel like everyone should have this moment in their life, its truly liberating. Doesn't have to be calculous.
If only we had 3-4 months to learn a few equations in uni while not being bombarded with 50 more
Took me 3-4 years just to get comfortable with algebra. Doing differential equations now and feeling like shit is crammed.
I love these clips.
So inspiring, man.
The way he said give me more🤤🤤🤤🤤
"give me more" the way he said that sent me 💀💀💀
I wish all of the Rad. Physics, and Rad. Science are all of my best friends.
I struggled very hard with Calc a lot. As a stem major, you started to see calc everywhere in Al of your subjects lmao. But absolutely fell in love with it. Trigonometry is my fav type of mathematics though.
If I wasn’t graded on math, I probably would be saying that they became my friends too
When studying and there's something I can't wrap my head around, I just keep on studying. I know it will come to me eventually and then it will make perfect sense. Just be patient, have confidence and keep on studying.
“Give me more!”-Neil Tyson
he speaks the truth. I didn't get calculus till after the class. Went on to get my EE degree, most classes were not understood till six months afterward. amazing
the difference is, neil is the type of person to say "i like that" about an equation. most simply don't care enough to put in the effort. you have to want it
You hit the hammer on the nail on this one. It's not a question of whether it is possible to learn said skill it's a matter of is said skill worth the investment of my time. If I notice the knowledge gained doesn't equate to the time put in why would I put the time in? You're at the deficit at default by doing so. The wealthiest people on planet didn't start off rich they started with common sense. Know your value and seek knowledge and invest time in what you value. If you're a person like myself who has basic math skills but doesn't like math then why invest more time in math when I can invest more time in English, History and psychology. Or in more realistic terms things that contribute to my passions and meaning on this earth. The most expensive investment on earth is time so you gotta be careful and choose what you spend on wisely.
I love this… it helps me feel less useless/worthless. Knowledge is something I value so much. I love learning and education. But no matter how much I learn, I never feel like I’m good enough.
Because you think you need to have or achieve something to be "good enough" there is no milestone or special skill, you're simply enough. You may be lacking in areas like anyone else, we can always choose to improve. And at the end of the day your value cannot be measured nor quantified by achievement or gained knowledge and skill. your life is precious as is every life and should be not only cherished, but celebrated. you were gifted life and capability to function in this world, live with love, compassion and decency, you will be able to achieve whatever you set out to do if it is meant for you to do. Do not ever think anyone can give you value or take it from you, no one can for we are all equally valuable and equally flawed. What makes us "good enough" lies within ourselves, not without. Love yourself as you would someone you're willing to die for. The person you'd go to the ends of the earth for, care for yourself like that too. I'm not saying put yourself above all other things, I'm saying dont put yourself on the bottom shelf or back burner, if you can put another person before yourself, you can take time to put you first every day. Genuinely love yourself as you are, acknowledge and accept all the good and the bad and recognize the bad does not make you less. It's just homework, we dont like homework but it gets you that good grade, never stop working and never stop loving yourself.
@@fuckel98 Your comment is awesome! So meaningful and true! In school where Jean’s concern comes from or for me in the workplace, we all know different things and learn at different speeds. Many people look up to me at work. My many years of experience there (35!) give me the ability to solve most work related problems. However I look up to the people who are better educated or are more forward and decisive than myself. Musicians are a whole other example. I’ve had musical skills for many years and enjoy playing. I played in a band for four years. However there are younger and incredibly talented musicians that I will never compare with. I agree with you that no matter what our abilities are, there’s always a place for us and we should be grateful and happy to have gotten this far. Tomorrow is another day to learn something new or gain more experience. Typically patience is the key...
I have a motor controller that's been kicking my ass. Needed this.
I needed to hear this today
Every time I listen to this man I want to personally tell him to talk faster
Time domain analysis is eye opening, frequency domain analysis is mind opening
Calculus is easier than algebra and trigonometry. It really reduces the complexity.
That's the right attitude for tackling any challenge
That's crazy, I'm the opposite. All of these equations are my enemies.
Beautiful times when semester used to be a year long. Oh I miss that time.
That’s awesome Neil. I’m happy to have taken some calculus classes in high school!
I fell in love will math right away. It came natural to me, all my other subjects were boring until I met math. Neil is awesome 😎
If you’re gonna be good in only one subject at school, let that subject be math because being good in math correlates very highly with a high IQ. Even if one stinks at everything else and is even, say, illiterate, they will most likely do just fine in life anyway because most of life is about problem-solving and reasoning.
Same. When I first opened up Das Kapital I thought, "I can't do this." Then after some time, you start to make sense of it and realize, "These arguments are my friends."
Im growing very fond of this man. With every little video, he is just so nice and funny. Its not easy being the smart guy, im sure. But hes also fun. Just want to hug him.
“Sir, this is a Wendy’s”
The hunger for learning is derived from interest
Haha. I get the joke. Derived. Lol
This the type of guy that you want making your sandwiches after month 3 or 4 of learning.
This video motivates me to learn calculus and other things that seems to be difficult to me. This vid motivates me to learn everything.
Neil's the type to wake you up,to announce he's own the way to sleep.
Nice try 😂
Legend has it, Niel was born with that haircut...It's always the same length and looks the exact same
It's like a drug adiction
When I started college I went from algebra in highschool straight to calculus, skipping over pre-calculus. Calculus absolutely wrecked my GPA and I hadn't figured out college yet to know you can just drop a class of struggling with.

And situations like this you have that epiphany moment where it all snaps into focus and becomes clear and understandable I was getting an F in chemistry class when I was in high school we were diagramming molecules like ethyl methyl pentane and I don’t know how or why but one day one of them just made sense to me and after that I became the number one student at diagramming molecules in , In fact I was the only student that the teacher had run across the aced the finals test in diagraming molecules. As a reward he gave me a quote build a molecule set that lets you build up to 50 different molecules that’s sad now reside with my granddaughter something I am quite proud of
I would love to go back to another one of his shows.
I would kill to have Mr. Tyson as my teacher.
I have a major crushin on this beautiful human being ✨🥰😘
I'm impressed of how much he loves his voice
Congratulations! You figured out how learning works.
The black experience is changing...because of people like you, Neil. Keep it up......my friend.
Good for you, speaking for himself Right there
In grade school 7th grade back in the early 60s. Kids were not taught algebra. Our teacher was phenomenal. She didn't just throw letters st us to add, subtract, multiply and divide. She taught us how those equations were applied in real life. I went on into high school to become an algebra tutor, to about 25 kids who just couldn't grab the concept. They all passed their classes and understood what they were doing. I myself retired a couple years ago with 3 journeyman skilled trades cards. Millwright, Licensed journeyman Electrician, and Machinist. I helped design and build small assembly machines to end my carrier.
SUPER AGREE!! Mindset mindset🥰. It is hard but it can be done. Been there☺️
Differentiating hyperbolic functions is fun. Integration by parts and trig substitutions, too.
Calc is hard to learn for many. But totally worth it.
great example! we need that so much nowadays... thanks Dr. Tyson.
I was literally just like this 5-7 days ago, I was just learning TIG welding and I was saying I will never learn this but each time I went back to school to try it again, I eventually figured it out today posting it, but it'll take a little more time to fully understand, and get the movements down.
The moment you learn calculus it opens up something in your brain that almost everyday tasks becomes an equation.
The moment I understood calculus, I was forever entranced 🥲🫡
It's the best feeling when you solve a tough equation and the answer is correct......
I remember a lot of people dropped calc 1 the first week. Less dropped the second week and even fewer dropped the third week. Everybody after that stayed until the end. Calc 2 and Calc 3 hardly anybody dropped, even the ones that were failing stayed in it due to it being practice to retake class.
Love you and yours sir deeply and truly
U r gifted sir, majority of the people cant comprehend or interconnect things in physics as u did...if so, there would have been numerous Neil deGrasse Tysons
The key here is *used*. Practice, folks, truly makes perfect.
Mr Neil D'grace, your intelligence is immeasurable
This is my inspiration to learn and motivation
Thanks
Thank you, Sir.
Good commentary as always from Neil "The Grass" Tyson 👍
It is so much easier for me to learn when the person teaching has passion. Unfortunately, I went to public schools in North Carolina...competency was too much to ask for, forget passion. I wish Dr. Tyson was around to teach me Calculus.
Neil deGrasse Tyson looks at calculus like I looked at girls when I was a teenager. 🤣
That's why he's where he is and ur where u are
Well said Sir , by putting the time it took it really brought home to me that if someone as smart as you ….. We’ll let’s just say it sure helped me 😊
Most people who say there bad at math just never had a good teacher help them push through their anxiety instead of making it worse. So many teachers criticize mistakes instead of encouraging what a student got correct and building from there.
My experience exactly. I eventually got through two years of calculus, and it became my friend. And it got me through physics. I was a Biochemistry major, tho.
I’m still in my senior year of high school, but I love math and took it upon myself to learn calculus. It’s been great!
Never got intermediate math in any way shape or form until I got into the workforce, after it became something I have to use it was easier to visualize than just the bare concept was.

I know what Neil is talking about. I took a real estate mortgage course once and they had free 2 hour seminars once every 3 weeks. First seminar I was dumbfounded. Second seminar I was dumbfounded a bit more. Third seminar I began to figure things out a tiny bit. In about the sixth seminar, I could actually figure out the answers before the teacher was finished writing them on the blackboard. I’m a slow learner but persistence is an important key 😊.
I feel the same way with programming.
The way he talks about my worst enemy is so cute 😂
