#maths #calculus #multivariable #multivariablecalculus #perspective #some #someπ #learn #learning #intuition #intuitive In this video, I introduce the concept of a line integral from multivariable calculus by building it up intuitively from integration in single-variable calculus. Math is all about expanding previous knowledge into new domains, after all! I also try to present the intuition beh...
What Does the First Law of Thermodynamics Really Say? | ChemWalks-001
Переглядів 5553 місяці тому
ChemWalks-001: A detailed description of the formula associated with the first law of thermodynamics-dU = q - w. This video spends time discussing what internal energy (U), change in internal energy (dU), heat (q), and work (w) really mean for a system, and how they all fit into this equation. Nuance with writing q - w vs q w is also touched on. ChemWalks is a new video series I'm starting wher...

ChemWalks: a new video series I'm starting where I candidly explain concepts in chemistry, math, and physics in on-the-go. The goal of this series is to focus on sharing intuition rather that getting too deep into the details, and just see the big picture. In the real world, having intuition for concepts can often be more valuable than remembering a formula or a procedure. By making these video...

All of Multivariable Calculus in One Formula
Переглядів 149 тис.Рік тому
In this video, I describe how all of the different theorems of multivariable calculus (the Fundamental Theorem of Line Integrals, Green's Theorem, Stokes' Theorem, and the Divergence Theorem, plus also the original Fundamental Theorem of Calculus in one dimension) are actually the same thing in higher math. I present this by going through each theorem conceptually step by step (no formal proofs...

I was having a hard time visualizing line integrals- But now it makes so much sense! Great video, thanks for uploading!
e = 1/0! + 1/1! + 1/2! .............
What iPad app are you using?
Nice! This explains why the exponential map appears even when you’re not working with numbers anymore
Thank you for making it so clear and simple. Appreciated.
The way you hold the pen is just awful. It doesn't let to see what you are writing
Thermodynamics always had this smell of engineering to it, where the goal is to assemble machineries out of bags of molecules and exploit any pattern in the system that is not heat.
I oddly couldn't take the guy seriously because he's holding a clip-on mic in his hand for some reason
21:38 you bet!
Ok, I'll need to watch that a few more times and with a pen and paper. Tell me, why does e come on when making a complex circle?
Eulers formula is one of the least intuitive imo…I can’t think of a good way to describe it. The “why” of your question can be answered most easily probably using Taylor series-if you look up the Taylor expansions for e^x, cos x, and sin x, you can see why e^ix = cos x + isin x. Though that’s just a mathematical derivation, not an intuitive explanation
I tried to educate 3m to multiply the money in my bank account but they did not have the necessary algebra skills to get the right answer.
i want to know the app you were writing in, if it is an app
It was a useful explanation that added to my knowledge, thank you for such educational videos, it helped to improve human knowledge and science.
awsome explanation to help understanding concepts
just a minor nit pick at 8:00, the projection is divided by the norm squared. *b* dot *a* over norm *a* is only the component of *b* in *a* 's direction. In other words, how much the unit vector in *a* direction is scaled. Hence, the extra division by norm of *a*
I don't think there is any reason at all to bring the approximation into it. The other stuff is great. But I think I can do better. I'm going to try and slap something together.
The easiest way to describe pi: It’s half tau.
I wish I had been presented to multivariable functions during High-School
This is crazy stuff...... Blown up my mind
I worked for a bank where savings account interest was compounded continuously. I used both Euler’s Number e and natural log ln quite frequently. Your explanation made sense to me. Next time you are talking to a banker ask for a proof of how your savings interest (Annual Percentage Yield) was determined. I bet no one in the bank can do the calculation let alone explain it.
I remember once a financial journalist, might have been the BBC don't recall, took the terms of interest to a maths profession at a top university, might have been Oxford, and asked him (or her) to evaluate it. It took him four hours. Could have been three or five. I'm guessing he was just presented with insufficient information but still, it obviously wasn't straightforward. A mere mortal wouldn't stand a chance. Also, I accept that my hazy recollection, plus this being a UA-cam comment, is pretty much the definition of apocryphal.

These people are barely educated. There’s no point showing off to them.
Too much complicated
Fail.
The fact, that the language of the Math is not comprehensive to me, makes me sad.
scalability of large numbers by a factor, decimal converter? Used highly in diff eq, the visual helps, thanks, now how to upscale control theory into life?
Up until your discovery of constant-variable lambda I felt I was with you. From that point on I would need much more graduation. Very unfortunately I lost you from that point on. David Lixenberg
Tipical american: all about money.
Isn't dr/ds the unit tangent vector, whilst dr/dt the actual tangent vector ?
Hot Tip: (1.0000000001)^⁹ = e This is the smallest number taken to the exponent of its decimal place which is e, or 2.718.... Just add more zeros between the ones and take it to a higher exponent to get "e" with more decimal places.
What would be e if a bacteria grew three times itself.
@achyutkarve it is a three point curve using e as the moderator.
E

Great video explaining e. I never thought e can be describe as "the self referential growth or decay" of itself. Nice!!!
Trancedental number like pi and square root of not perfect square
I'm sorry, but to ignore calculus in a video trying to give an intuition for e is a somewhat baffling move, since what makes e significant is its use in calculus (specifically for taking the derivative or anti-derivative of an exponential). Walking through how solving f'(x) = f(x) naturally leads to an exponential, and further showing that the base of that exponential is an exact constant, also gives an intuition on why it matters in chemistry and physics, after perhaps explaining why exponential equations are used to model how certain kinds of systems evolve (and how the past of them can be predicted) based only on some constants of the system and the current state.
This video is incredible. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for making this video sir, really helpful
very helpful!
No fire:(
I really wish the rest of this playkist was out my midterm is on Wednesday and this is so much more helpful AND ENTERTAINING than the explanations I've seen so far. SO MANY PEOPLE MAKE MATH BORING, you do not, thank you
This is extremely good
I think the basic line integral is a weighted sum of infinitesimal vectors. The result is again a vector. Taking the length of ds complicates matters, and generates a big discrepancy with line integrals in the complex analysis.

1:06 nor is pi. Pi is irrational and cant be expressed as a ratio of two numbers.
Of two integers, no…but there’s no guarantee that the circumference and diameter of a circle will both be integers (therefore it is still a ratio of two numbers). In fact, pi being irrational tells us that that’s impossible!
@FoolishChemist so it can be expressed as a ratio of two irrational numbers?
@@michaelcolbourn6719 Doesn't even have to be two irrational numbers. In fact most of the time it's one irrational and one rational. It just can't be two integers!
Pi is the ratio of Circumference:diameter We aint talking about numbers here.
Yet another rehashed bad way to teach e. Not knocking Foolish Chemist. It’s a good math video. We tend to teach math by backing into concepts from an historical perspective. Instead we should relegate the arduous path to discovery of things like e and i to a math history class. Now that we have a better understanding of these concepts we should start with a modern perspective.
E is a letter that represents a number of
So Euler's number is the same as natural log. 2.718281828459 ?
A natural logarithm is a logarithm with base e, so ln e = 1.
This is exactly how my tutor explained e
