This professor does not know the impact he had on me. He literally carried me from freshman year at university to senior year. From calculus to stats. I love you Leonard.
seriously, Im about to graduate and I can remember sitting at my desk till 3am my freshman year in calc 1 and 2, and was the single only reason I passed differential equations
Thank you for your hard work and academic skills. I am an "old/82+" aero engineer being retreaded into the Photonic Renewable Energy world (via bamboo RD&T) Oh myy
Halfway through calculus 1, I found this channel and stopped going to lectures. Continued to not go to lectures in calc 2 and 3. Finished calc 1, 2, and 3 with A+ in all three. Now working as a software engineer for one of FAANG. You are an absolute legend and I recommend you every single chance I get.
If this guy only knew how much he helped me. I was a commercial crab fisherman on Alaska’s Bering Sea for 10 years before starting college at 29. This prof helped me get the grades needed in pre-reqs at a small city college in order to get into Cornell University (2021grad). His help getting me up to speed from 9th grade Algebra to Calc2 in 2018 got me through the gates and prepared me to later tackle multi linear regression, Econometrics and algorithmic back-propagation. Thank you prof.
Same, as a welder I had to just take up to 10th grade math and geometry and was terrified of taking math because I remember my junior year I failed it and had to retake my senior year. I wanted to go back to school for mechanical engineering associates and up my current degree into a bachleors of science with manufacturing. But math and trig stood in my way, and his classes not only helped me when retaking the math I took before for college, but also new scarier math like Trig and Statistics. Very helpful alongside Khan academy.
Hey bud. Similar story. Fishing in Alaska was something I did as well. Was able to go to college at 29 also. Physics major at University California. Worked my butt off at night at Community College for years. Then transferred into UC. Although just moved away from California and withdrew from UC to relocate in another State. California got goofy. I'm swinging back to watch a few of his classes on Vectored Calculus to sharpen those skills. Took a year off to make the move to a Free State. Stay Salty. 🐄🛸

Professor Leonard: I commented this already, but I might as well say it again. Right before COVID started, maybe it was December 2019, I was walking into my PreCalc teacher's classroom as a sophomore in high school to ask him a question about something. I remember right as I was about to leave he was laughing at something. I came over to his computer and he said "Isaac, come look at this." It was a meme involving derivatives. Now as a math person, I was intrigued, but I couldn't understand the joke. "What's a derivative," I asked my teacher. He said "you'll learn about it either next year or the year after, depending." But I was determined: I had to find out what was so funny. So I went home and got onto my laptop and went into UA-cam and looked up "derivatives/what's a derivative" and some professor from an Ivy League school with a really thick accent was talking in tongues, but I didn't stop. I found your channel the 2nd time around after looking for a while. I took an old composition book I had laying around and decided to just start writing EVERYTHING that you were saying down. It started on Lecture 0.1, on lines and angles I believe. It didn't matter that I thought I already knew about this stuff, but I just kept writing and kept going through every lecture, until I got to derivatives. It took until Calc 2 on your channel for me to understand a joke involving e^x, but it was so worth it. It had only been a month. I had been coming home from school, doing my homework, and then just binged all your lectures until it was really way too late at night. So I got the joke, but I figured, "why stop there, this is actually really interesting." So anyway, I walked into my math teacher's classroom after I finally understood the joke and said "I GET IT NOW!!! LMAO". And he was like "what?" "Oh, the joke from last December," I said arrogantly haha. And I smacked these 2 composition books full of Calculus onto his desk and was like "WABAM." He said, "wha---", and then he backed me up saying, "yeah sure, KEEP GOING!!!" So I did. June 2020 popped around and I was finishing Stoke's Theorem... your last Calculus 3 video. That next year, I took AP Calculus BC and aced everything, got a 5 on the AP Exam. I Forrest Gumped Calculus basically. Anyway, I graduated early and am tutoring Calculus at a local community college as a part time job. Imagine that, all from wanting to UNDERSTAND. THANK YOU SO MUCH PROFESSOR LEONARD!!! Best teacher ever (don't tell my other teachers)
Honestly, that was so wholesome to read imo. Started off with something relatively small event which snowballed into a fruitful journey. It is great to see that having a great teacher (whether in-person, online, or just youtube videos) can make a difference!
I notice everyone in the comments letting Prof. Leonard know the impact that he had on their lives, so I thought I'd contribute: Took me from being a mathematically challenged individual returning to school at 29 and feeling hella insecure to someone who received a math minor and is now a PhD candidate at MIT. Would NOT have been possible without you, Professor! The real MVP
@@LaymensLameMan You've got this! Paul Hewitt who was a Physics professor and author of Conceptual Physics did not start community college until he was 28. His life experience gave him an edge over the 18 year old hotshots who were not as intentional with their education. The textbook and his story inspired me to pursue a science education at 24.
Congrats on all the milestones you’re hitting Prof. Leonard. You’re so cool, you didn’t even owe us an explanation but many people, myself included, were definitely wondering where you were. Glad you’re healthy and safe and living a fulfilling life outside of making sure we pass college math class!
My parents built my home. I always dreamed of building my own home. During the last two years I’ve been working full time as an engineer and then Once I’m done with my last two years of college and have a couple more years of engineering under my belt I’ve excited to start my own home. You should upload build videos.
When I missed weeks of calc 1 and went through the biggest tragedy of my life you taught me when nobody else could. Your videos have been a valuable resource for every student I've ever had. I still watch them myself to make sure I don't miss anything in lecture. Thank you for the impact you've had on my life, and the hundred of thousands of students whom you've helped achieve their dreams.
You have been amazing! I used to be failing Calc 2 the beginning of this semester, but then after watching your lectures, I actually have a chance of passing! I really like how you make sure everyone knows the material and recap the material (recapping being the most important). You've been awesome! And you even build houses??? Man of many talents!
oh my god I'm actually tearing up seeing you after all this time... the things you've taught me and in just the beautiful manner you have in your approach to teaching is just simply amazing Professor. I'm now in college studying cs and math because of you...thank you for all that you've done and I wish you the best in all paths... may mataji bless you and your family... happy navratri
Grinning from ear to ear about this for you! You are the reason I passed calculus 1 and 2 and I gained the analytical skill I use in my industry job now. I hope you get all the joy you have spread in tenfold with your new achievements in life.
Professor Leonard, I took a big risk, but I have not gone to my calc 2 lectures this semester. Instead, I’ve relied heavily on your calculus 2 playlist, and it has worked out!! My professor is awful, so I’ve had to have you as my professor. And I’ve done well in all of the assessments so far. You have such a far reaching impact on us students, I am so thankful for you. Congratulations on your new baby girl! God bless you professor Leonard
You are such an inspiration Professor Leonard. Take literally ALL the time you need!!! You have guided me through every math hurdle on the way to my degree, and I owe you every % I've gotten. From the bottom of my heart thank you so much for passionately doing what you do, and good luck with the rest of your house and the new baby!!!
Congratulations! The house is beautiful. I hope you do a walkthrough! It’s just amazing you built that. Thank you for your channel. Literally every student I have classes with is a subscriber. I’ve heard professors recommended your channel to students who need extra help. I personally can’t thank you enough for carrying me through calculus!
So happy to hear your great news. You should start a homesteading channel! Congrats on your build and your family and thanks for the update. Professor Leonard rocks!
I’m in the middle of taking calculus 2 and funny enough I actually had an exam today. I spent the last two weeks watching your videos nonstop and I’m on track to get a 95%. I give all of the credit to your math videos because without them I don’t know how I’d make it through. Thank you professor Leonard!
God bless you Professor Leonard. My calculus professor sent me your channel and you have been the biggest help during my college career. Thank you greatly for your help 💕
You were the only reason I could do Calc 1, 2, and 3 online. You were also my only professor while I took those courses. I can’t thank you enough for what you do, you are an amazing person and I wish you luck on building the house.
Huge congrats, Professor! Both on building your own home and having another daughter! I don't say it enough, but you are one of the greatest math professors out there; your ability to describe and work through problems is just amazing. It's so easy to follow and it has helped me--and from reading the comments many others--so much. Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much for everything you've done for us, and for me Professor Leonard. You helped me tremendously through my program. You certainly helped me get to my career, and so I recommend you to everyone I can. You deserve great things, Professor!
Glad you are well! I am a senior citizen former math major and teacher. I am retaking Calc 1 and 2 to be able to tutor others and also to keep my brain functioning. Couldn't do this without you! You explanations are clear and complete.You give lots of examples and you clearly love your students. Thank you!!!!
Life gets in the way some times, I am so happy to see how successful the project has been and hope that it works all as planned, soil settlement is a concern for all civil projects but this looks awesome!! Hope things continue to be good for you and congrats!
I cannot thank you enough for allowing anyone who wants to understand math have access to your lectures. While attending community college, I started learning math and followed these lectures starting from calculus one through ODE. During this time, I decided I wanted to be a mechanical engineer and was heavily encouraged to take an easier path with lower qualifications. I did not take this advice and substantially raised my GPA to gain acceptance to a tier-one engineering program. Your lectures directly contributed to my changing from someone who did not complete high school to someone who is finishing an engineering degree with a job offer. Educators who freely share their instruction, like yourself, absolutely make the world a better place. Thank you.
Good luck with everything in your life. I'm finished with college but love the math videos and have watched many hours. You have such a relaxing way of teaching that whenever I am stressed I watch one or two hours of your lessons. Maybe in the future you can give us a tour of your new house. I fully understand why you will not give the location, I would not either.
Thanks to you I'm now about to hand in my thesis, as I was absolutely stuck with calculus but in the end I was able to pass the exam, and a lot of it was thanks to your videos. I'm so glad to see you're in good health, working on your lovely home and enjoying your gorgeous family. Hope to see more of your videos in the future!
A video of yours from 10 years ago helped me to do my homework yesterday. Thank you for your incredible channel. Even while you were building your house, your work here is still saving a ton of STEM students' GPA
I have been away from this channel for some time, but I'd like to thank you for ALL your videos, because without you, I could not have become a Mechanical Engineer after serving in the Marine Corps for 12yrs.. You got me all the way up to E-Math at FAU.. You're the man!! Thank you 🙏🏽 and Happy Thanksgiving today 🦃..
Thank you Professor for all your help during my freshman year.....and thank you for the update...I wish you all the best in your home building and looking forward to see your new office....
Mr Leonard you taught me calculus 1 way back at Merced college and you were the best math teacher I’ve had to date. I went on to knock cal 2 and 3 and will be getting my bs in computer engineering this coming year. Thank you for help and you’ve made a huge difference in lots of people lives
I just got done watching your video on convergence and divergence of series. You've gotten me through calc I and so far through calc II. Thank you so much for archiving and allowing your content to be free, accessible, and more importantly, so easy to follow and comprehend. Thank you.
Hello Professor, I am your fan from the beginning of my mechanical engineering major (2016). This spring semester, in 2023, is my last semester to graduate. I am very grateful for what you have taught on this channel. Every single word in your lecture has a extremely meaningful value to me. I want to say thank you for your dedication in so many years. I love you Professor. Leonard. You are my hero.
We love you Professor Leonard!! Thank you so much for all that you do, your math videos helped me get through Calc 1 and 2 throughout college. Congrats on the new baby girl, I hope you and your family have been staying safe during these tough times. Keep doing what you're doing and keep being you!!!
Hey Prof., thank you so much for this update, you've been such a great help to me throughout my college career! Just wanted to say thanks and happy to see you're doing well. Wish you and your family the best!
I'm currently taking up Computer Engineering and I cannot thank you enough for all of your lectures, you don't actually reach the extent of our topics like Laplace, but since you teach the basics in such a delicate and concerned manner, I am so glad I got myself founded on your teachings. It made me atleast understand even a little bit of these really complicated and mind-boogling math problems. I'm so grateful for you. You were with me from my College Calc 1-3, and now as I'm doing my Engineering Mathematics I rely on you still. Just finished reviewing again your lecture on partial fractions. I love how you don't WITHOLD INFORMATION, you don't ASSUME THAT WE REMEMBER BASIC ALGEBRA, and how you don't LEAVE US, ABANDON US TO FEND FOR OURSELVES. You give us no reason to fail, that's how you teach. Thankyou, You are truly a teacher, not just a powerpoint reader, notes reciter, or test giver. You are truly a teacher.
I think that he should include the Laplace Transform in his "Differential Equations" playlist, which he is apparently still working on - that transform is incredibly useful for lots of differential equations, and it is even used for a lot of _partial_ differential equations, so it is highly relevant; and the Fourier Transform as well, for that matter, which is a very similar method.
i remember watching this when he first posted i cant believe seven months have passed by so quick by far 2022 is the fastest year for me... I've never felt a year go by so fast like this one
Congrats on the new baby and it's great to see that you're doing well! Just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate all the work you've put into teaching us all mathematics. I'm 33 and started back to school after I lost my job due to Covid and you got me through Calc 1, 2, 3, and Diff Eq with all A's and I'm about a month out from completing my minor in mathematics and a year out from finishing my BS in Electrical Engineering! Your ability to teach and break these concepts down gave me a level of understanding that I could never have achieved in a traditional math class so, thank you for helping me to accomplish my goals!! When my 3 kids grow up and bit and ask how I did so well in school while being a full time parent, I'll be introducing them to THE LEONARD!
your videos are amazing, got a 64 on my first calc 2 test and was just generally lost, then i found your channel and got a 97 on the second one. thanks very much.
I literally took one single semester with Leonard and as soon as I saw he had a new video, I jumped on it. I'm not even taking a math class and haven't since I took his class almost two years ago! Hands down the best teacher I have ever had in college and it was an online class! Thanks Professor Leonard!!!
the impact you've had on so many people, young and old is so great & I'm glad you're doing awesome. I remember you have a video from about 10 years ago talking about how you built houses and construction before, while explaining about the importance of right triangles, and how math is applied everyday & now here you are back at it! thank you for all you do, you found a calling and answered it well. As a veteran I couldn't remember all the maths I learned in highschool once I got out, but your sessions and easily understandable lessons have carried my studying to get to engineering school & I couldn't thank you enough, you deserve all the recognition for being an amazing professor
I ended up finishing multivariable calc (Calc 3) by the first semester of my senior year of high school. I’m in the second semester now and I went back through the calc 1, 2, now calc 3 videos to tighten up any loose ends before I go into a diff eq and linear algebra course this summer. The way you explain concepts makes it so much easier to follow and it makes me constantly think “oh, why didn’t I get this sooner? It’s so easy now”. Thank you for everything you’ve done and now I’m going into college for my physics degree and potentially math degree also. Thank you professor!
I went to community college and met you in person in the math lab like my soph year. you helped me out a lot in person and your videos helped me get through college. I’m a level 2 software engineer now with tons of cool opportunities in the last few years. but I wear a lot of mech E hats as well. Thanks for making a difference, hope all is well with you!

So anyway, I walked into my math teacher's classroom after I finally understood the joke and said "I GET IT NOW!!! LMAO". And he was like "what?" "Oh, the joke from last December," I said arrogantly haha. And I smacked these 2 composition books full of Calculus onto his desk and was like "WABAM." He said, "wha---", and then he backed me up saying, "yeah sure, KEEP GOING!!!" So I did. June 2020 popped around and I was finishing Stoke's Theorem... your last Calculus 3 video. That next year, I took AP Calculus BC and aced everything, got a 5 on the AP Exam. I Forrest Gumped Calculus basically. Anyway, I graduated early and am tutoring Calculus at a local community college as a part time job. Imagine that, all from wanting to UNDERSTAND. THANK YOU SO MUCH PROFESSOR LEONARD!!! Best teacher ever (don't tell my other teachers)
Reading that was a bit weird cause almost the exact same thing has happened to me, except Im tutoring highschool students.
Beautiful story! Thanks for sharing.
Honestly, that was so wholesome to read imo. Started off with something relatively small event which snowballed into a fruitful journey. It is great to see that having a great teacher (whether in-person, online, or just youtube videos) can make a difference!
THAT'S AMAAZING lol they should make a movie about this
Thanks for the replies everyone! And yes, I made it sound all theatrical, but this is actually what happened.
I notice everyone in the comments letting Prof. Leonard know the impact that he had on their lives, so I thought I'd contribute:
Took me from being a mathematically challenged individual returning to school at 29 and feeling hella insecure to someone who received a math minor and is now a PhD candidate at MIT.
Would NOT have been possible without you, Professor! The real MVP
I’m 28 returning to school. Your testimony is really encouraging for me.
That is very inspiring 🙌 👏. Keep it up!!
@@LaymensLameMan you got this!!
How's your PhD going? And also might I ask what you're researching?
@@LaymensLameMan You've got this! Paul Hewitt who was a Physics professor and author of Conceptual Physics did not start community college until he was 28. His life experience gave him an edge over the 18 year old hotshots who were not as intentional with their education. The textbook and his story inspired me to pursue a science education at 24.
Congrats on all the milestones you’re hitting Prof. Leonard. You’re so cool, you didn’t even owe us an explanation but many people, myself included, were definitely wondering where you were. Glad you’re healthy and safe and living a fulfilling life outside of making sure we pass college math class!
No worries Professor Leonard, we will be here waiting for you for more videos!
My parents built my home. I always dreamed of building my own home. During the last two years I’ve been working full time as an engineer and then Once I’m done with my last two years of college and have a couple more years of engineering under my belt I’ve excited to start my own home. You should upload build videos.
That's not a bad idea! I have a few friends who want me to help build, maybe I'll start recording that :)
@@ProfessorLeonard That would be so amazing!
@@ProfessorLeonard That would be awesome! I want to build my own home as well in the future.
@@ProfessorLeonard That is a profitable business too 😎
@@ProfessorLeonard Just do it!
When I missed weeks of calc 1 and went through the biggest tragedy of my life you taught me when nobody else could. Your videos have been a valuable resource for every student I've ever had. I still watch them myself to make sure I don't miss anything in lecture. Thank you for the impact you've had on my life, and the hundred of thousands of students whom you've helped achieve their dreams.
You have been amazing! I used to be failing Calc 2 the beginning of this semester, but then after watching your lectures, I actually have a chance of passing! I really like how you make sure everyone knows the material and recap the material (recapping being the most important). You've been awesome!
And you even build houses??? Man of many talents!
Congratulations to you, your wife, your kids and everyone!! It’s so good to hear you report all good things 🎉🎊🎉🎊
oh my god I'm actually tearing up seeing you after all this time... the things you've taught me and in just the beautiful manner you have in your approach to teaching is just simply amazing Professor. I'm now in college studying cs and math because of you...thank you for all that you've done and I wish you the best in all paths... may mataji bless you and your family... happy navratri
Grinning from ear to ear about this for you! You are the reason I passed calculus 1 and 2 and I gained the analytical skill I use in my industry job now. I hope you get all the joy you have spread in tenfold with your new achievements in life.
Professor Leonard, I took a big risk, but I have not gone to my calc 2 lectures this semester. Instead, I’ve relied heavily on your calculus 2 playlist, and it has worked out!! My professor is awful, so I’ve had to have you as my professor. And I’ve done well in all of the assessments so far. You have such a far reaching impact on us students, I am so thankful for you. Congratulations on your new baby girl! God bless you professor Leonard
What risk? Biggest risk would've been if you did quite the opposite.
do they not take attendance in your universities? wow
Your videos on Calc 2 helped me tremendously many years ago! Out of Calc 1, 2, and 3, I’ve found that 2 was the hardest (for me).
You are such an inspiration Professor Leonard. Take literally ALL the time you need!!! You have guided me through every math hurdle on the way to my degree, and I owe you every % I've gotten. From the bottom of my heart thank you so much for passionately doing what you do, and good luck with the rest of your house and the new baby!!!
Congratulations! The house is beautiful. I hope you do a walkthrough! It’s just amazing you built that.
Thank you for your channel. Literally every student I have classes with is a subscriber. I’ve heard professors recommended your channel to students who need extra help. I personally can’t thank you enough for carrying me through calculus!
So happy to hear your great news. You should start a homesteading channel! Congrats on your build and your family and thanks for the update. Professor Leonard rocks!
I’m in the middle of taking calculus 2 and funny enough I actually had an exam today. I spent the last two weeks watching your videos nonstop and I’m on track to get a 95%. I give all of the credit to your math videos because without them I don’t know how I’d make it through. Thank you professor Leonard!
It’s great to hear from you! You helped me through my math classes in college. I’m glad to see you doing well.
God bless you Professor Leonard. My calculus professor sent me your channel and you have been the biggest help during my college career. Thank you greatly for your help 💕
You were the only reason I could do Calc 1, 2, and 3 online. You were also my only professor while I took those courses. I can’t thank you enough for what you do, you are an amazing person and I wish you luck on building the house.
We love you Professor Leonard, God Bless you for all the help you give students.
Huge congrats, Professor! Both on building your own home and having another daughter! I don't say it enough, but you are one of the greatest math professors out there; your ability to describe and work through problems is just amazing. It's so easy to follow and it has helped me--and from reading the comments many others--so much. Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much for everything you've done for us, and for me Professor Leonard. You helped me tremendously through my program. You certainly helped me get to my career, and so I recommend you to everyone I can. You deserve great things, Professor!
Glad you are well! I am a senior citizen former math major and teacher. I am retaking Calc 1 and 2 to be able to tutor others and also to keep my brain functioning. Couldn't do this without you! You explanations are clear and complete.You give lots of examples and you clearly love your students. Thank you!!!!
Life gets in the way some times, I am so happy to see how successful the project has been and hope that it works all as planned, soil settlement is a concern for all civil projects but this looks awesome!! Hope things continue to be good for you and congrats!
Congratulations Prof. Leonard! Your house looks awesome! Beautiful surrounding too. I hope you and your family will have wonderful stay. best wishes!
I cannot thank you enough for allowing anyone who wants to understand math have access to your lectures. While attending community college, I started learning math and followed these lectures starting from calculus one through ODE. During this time, I decided I wanted to be a mechanical engineer and was heavily encouraged to take an easier path with lower qualifications. I did not take this advice and substantially raised my GPA to gain acceptance to a tier-one engineering program. Your lectures directly contributed to my changing from someone who did not complete high school to someone who is finishing an engineering degree with a job offer. Educators who freely share their instruction, like yourself, absolutely make the world a better place. Thank you.
Good luck with everything in your life. I'm finished with college but love the math videos and have watched many hours. You have such a relaxing way of teaching that whenever I am stressed I watch one or two hours of your lessons. Maybe in the future you can give us a tour of your new house. I fully understand why you will not give the location, I would not either.
Congratulations Professor. I aced my Calculus exams thanks to you.
Good to know you're doing well. Congrats for your new baby, professor Leonard!
Your videos helped me pass college Algebra after 10 years of not being in school. Just donated to your Patreon! Thank you so much for all your help :)
Thanks to you I'm now about to hand in my thesis, as I was absolutely stuck with calculus but in the end I was able to pass the exam, and a lot of it was thanks to your videos. I'm so glad to see you're in good health, working on your lovely home and enjoying your gorgeous family. Hope to see more of your videos in the future!
What a role model. Thank you so much for what you do. And congratulations on the house. Looks great already
Hello Professor Leonard, watched most of your Calculus lectures a few years ago, it's been a while!
I really love you profesa for you help ....God bless you....love from kenya
congratulations,, im proud of you.
A video of yours from 10 years ago helped me to do my homework yesterday. Thank you for your incredible channel. Even while you were building your house, your work here is still saving a ton of STEM students' GPA
I'll be getting my degree in Computer Science this May, all thanks to you! Absolutely carried me through undergrad math. Wish you the best!
What?! This is incredible Professor Leonard. I am sure this will be a very rewarding once it's done 🎉
Hey Professor!!!
Thank you for everything you’ve done for all of us!
Congratulations on the new home!
So great to hear from you professor! You help me so much through college. Hope you are doing well! Stay safe !
Damn prof, you're not only an amazing teacher, but you're also good at building stuff. House looking nice
You are the best teacher ever!! Congrats on the house, new kid, and wish you the best.
I have been away from this channel for some time, but I'd like to thank you for ALL your videos, because without you, I could not have become a Mechanical Engineer after serving in the Marine Corps for 12yrs.. You got me all the way up to E-Math at FAU.. You're the man!! Thank you 🙏🏽 and Happy Thanksgiving today 🦃..
What is the order you suggest to study his playlists?
@klajdikaca994 Calc1, Calc2, then Calc3.. Then, differential equations..
Thank you Professor for all your help during my freshman year.....and thank you for the update...I wish you all the best in your home building and looking forward to see your new office....
You literally carried me through Calc classes. You can take all the time you need.💯
The MVP of college math professors. If only I had a teacher like you throughout my entire studies.
Thanks for the update Professor.
Lots of love for you and your family.
Stay safe and I hope you’re loving your new house.
Mr Leonard you taught me calculus 1 way back at Merced college and you were the best math teacher I’ve had to date. I went on to knock cal 2 and 3 and will be getting my bs in computer engineering this coming year. Thank you for help and you’ve made a huge difference in lots of people lives
Years after graduating college, I still talk about you. I graduated with a maths degree. Thank you.
Congratulations Professor Leonard! You're one of the best math teachers I've ever had.
I just got done watching your video on convergence and divergence of series. You've gotten me through calc I and so far through calc II. Thank you so much for archiving and allowing your content to be free, accessible, and more importantly, so easy to follow and comprehend. Thank you.
Good to see things are well with you. Thanks for the updates! Sending you and your family lots of love!
Hello Professor, I am your fan from the beginning of my mechanical engineering major (2016). This spring semester, in 2023, is my last semester to graduate. I am very grateful for what you have taught on this channel. Every single word in your lecture has a extremely meaningful value to me. I want to say thank you for your dedication in so many years. I love you Professor. Leonard. You are my hero.
“I really need you to understand…that you’re amazing professor!” You and Those words always took the stress from the concepts I was learning
We love you Professor Leonard!! Thank you so much for all that you do, your math videos helped me get through Calc 1 and 2 throughout college. Congrats on the new baby girl, I hope you and your family have been staying safe during these tough times. Keep doing what you're doing and keep being you!!!
Hey Prof., thank you so much for this update, you've been such a great help to me throughout my college career! Just wanted to say thanks and happy to see you're doing well. Wish you and your family the best!
I'm currently taking up Computer Engineering and I cannot thank you enough for all of your lectures, you don't actually reach the extent of our topics like Laplace, but since you teach the basics in such a delicate and concerned manner, I am so glad I got myself founded on your teachings. It made me atleast understand even a little bit of these really complicated and mind-boogling math problems. I'm so grateful for you. You were with me from my College Calc 1-3, and now as I'm doing my Engineering Mathematics I rely on you still. Just finished reviewing again your lecture on partial fractions. I love how you don't WITHOLD INFORMATION, you don't ASSUME THAT WE REMEMBER BASIC ALGEBRA, and how you don't LEAVE US, ABANDON US TO FEND FOR OURSELVES. You give us no reason to fail, that's how you teach. Thankyou, You are truly a teacher, not just a powerpoint reader, notes reciter, or test giver. You are truly a teacher.
I think that he should include the Laplace Transform in his "Differential Equations" playlist, which he is apparently still working on - that transform is incredibly useful for lots of differential equations, and it is even used for a lot of _partial_ differential equations, so it is highly relevant;
and the Fourier Transform as well, for that matter, which is a very similar method.
Nice to see you again, Prof!!!
CONGRATS! We all appreciate your help so much and I hope your family is well :)
Wowww. Thanks for all lessons! Happy for you!
i remember watching this when he first posted i cant believe seven months have passed by so quick by far 2022 is the fastest year for me... I've never felt a year go by so fast like this one
Being the best math professor and being able to build a house on your own is insane LOL
Very impressive. Congrats on the build and on the new little one!
Thank you for your courses. They are excellent.
Bro are born to be angel of those who suffered maths/calc, Bro even discussed the whole book
Iloveyou prof hope no one ever forget you
You doesn't realise this but you making everyone's day batter! Honestly, this channel was ❤️
Thank you very much for your videos. Looking forward to the Linear Algebra series!! Hope you and your family are well!
Congrats on the new baby and it's great to see that you're doing well! Just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate all the work you've put into teaching us all mathematics. I'm 33 and started back to school after I lost my job due to Covid and you got me through Calc 1, 2, 3, and Diff Eq with all A's and I'm about a month out from completing my minor in mathematics and a year out from finishing my BS in Electrical Engineering! Your ability to teach and break these concepts down gave me a level of understanding that I could never have achieved in a traditional math class so, thank you for helping me to accomplish my goals!! When my 3 kids grow up and bit and ask how I did so well in school while being a full time parent, I'll be introducing them to THE LEONARD!
your videos are amazing, got a 64 on my first calc 2 test and was just generally lost, then i found your channel and got a 97 on the second one. thanks very much.
amazing job!!!
I literally took one single semester with Leonard and as soon as I saw he had a new video, I jumped on it. I'm not even taking a math class and haven't since I took his class almost two years ago! Hands down the best teacher I have ever had in college and it was an online class! Thanks Professor Leonard!!!
May I know how or where can I do the same? Is it expensive like US universities?
@@t6hp i believe he teaches at merced college in merced, california. not sure if he still does tho.
Hi Professor Leonard, hope you and the family are doing well. Happy Holidays
the impact you've had on so many people, young and old is so great & I'm glad you're doing awesome. I remember you have a video from about 10 years ago talking about how you built houses and construction before, while explaining about the importance of right triangles, and how math is applied everyday & now here you are back at it!
thank you for all you do, you found a calling and answered it well. As a veteran I couldn't remember all the maths I learned in highschool once I got out, but your sessions and easily understandable lessons have carried my studying to get to engineering school & I couldn't thank you enough, you deserve all the recognition for being an amazing professor
Woah, even just chatting to us, I still feel like I am learning a tremendous amount of knowledge
wow! your work looks great, hope all is well.
I ended up finishing multivariable calc (Calc 3) by the first semester of my senior year of high school. I’m in the second semester now and I went back through the calc 1, 2, now calc 3 videos to tighten up any loose ends before I go into a diff eq and linear algebra course this summer. The way you explain concepts makes it so much easier to follow and it makes me constantly think “oh, why didn’t I get this sooner? It’s so easy now”. Thank you for everything you’ve done and now I’m going into college for my physics degree and potentially math degree also. Thank you professor!
Kick ass. I stumbled on your channel working back into academics. You are helping me with my foundation for ECON. Thank you.
This guy is a lifesaver. He helped me go from a D to an A+ in Cal 2!! Continuing to help me as I begin teaching math. Thank you Prof Leonard!
wow that's amazing, good for you!
Congrats Professor Leonard!! I’m looking forward to the “building a house” series 😂
You have helped me so much! I am so grateful for teachers like you!
I love this so muchhhhhh! Thank you for the update!!
Actual gigachad.
Hope all is well!
You are such an inspirational. Keep on going and congratulations on the baby coming.
I went to community college and met you in person in the math lab like my soph year. you helped me out a lot in person and your videos helped me get through college. I’m a level 2 software engineer now with tons of cool opportunities in the last few years. but I wear a lot of mech E hats as well. Thanks for making a difference, hope all is well with you!
