Hi Prof, thank you so much for making these videos available for us.

The great thing about Sir James is that he covers almost every thing included in the curriculum...............but at a "fast and furious" pace.......so you have to be reasonable familiar with requisite concepts. For few days remaining to exam............these videos are an excellent revision source.............Thank you so much for your generosity.

Sir can you please do a detailed guide for HP 12C. There is none worth looking on RUclips and we know that you personally use it, so it would be really helpful. Thanks
