    1:45 This! Remember me, when I need it.
    I'm currently watching all your videos on Build and Build2 and I must say, that I'm a huge fan of yours ^^ Keep up the nice work and keep having fun!

    I love your message and admire your love of learning and understanding. You said it quite beautifully, "With a little bit of manufacturing and a little bit of math you can do anything." Don't mind my name.

    Please keep the maths coming it is by far the best part for me. Great videos by the way.

    So I watched the first two videos and then I realized as you were introducing this video you were about to make a "what tools are in your toolbox" analogy...I think im in love 😍

    Being a student in Engineering right now, your channels are a godsend. I wish I saw these videos back in high school!

    1:37 Yup. that about sums it up.

    Math is where we make assumptions and have fun love your videos

    You're a smart guy regardless. It shows in your video response to people saying things in the comment section. Of course it's shows in your project videos too

    I'm a junior in mechanical engineering, and I'm at a point where I have loved some math and hated other math. But that same math that I couldn't wrap my head around before is slowly starting to become my friend as I'm using it to do other things than circle an answer.

    That's one thing I always struggled with in school when first learning tougher calc problems.. application. Taking numbers and actually giving them meaning, not just solving an arbitrary issue.

    I always reach for the pythagorean theorem when tasked with calculating the area of circles.
    Keeps the boss from wasting my time with his silly questions in the future.

    very practical i was thinking same in math mechanics execution.

    So is no one going to talk about the spiders in the upper right?

      😂 Those suckers live around my house and startle me whenever I see one. I decided to try my own personal CBT and salvaged a couple carcasses I found, placing them where I'd see them constantly. Creepy I admit but it worked like a charm!

    It's kind of a shame that students don't usually learn math through practical examples. Many of my engineering classes like thermodynamics and fluid dynamics have shown me how powerful math actually is. It's really hard to picture basic math concepts as applicable to real-world problems when you're learning it for the first time.

  • @olesammygrant

    Calculus is great and all but I wish schools would teach math better at lower levels by offering perspective on the real world be benefits. Nobody asks me calc problems in the real world, they do ask me "how do i figure out this (arc) length on this blueprint?" Just about anyone can learn that, and anyone can learn trig. With that so much is opened up

    • @BUILD2

      Totally agree!

    Surprised you don’t like math. I get the practicality argument - and agree entirely. Our kids deserve better - to learn math through practicality and not theory at a young age. Finding that I have to impart that on my kids before the schools here in Oregon start to use the same playbook on math that I was subjected to (and failed at) decades ago.

    Tool boxes are aware tools go to die😫. Drawers and access areas are where they should stay. Tool boxes are where they go on vacation And come back home at the end of the day

    Absolutely not dissing you, because your vids are amazing. One thing though, and it's likely more cultural than geographic... Of course, everything involving physics requires mathematics. But you all (or should that be 'y'all'?) call it 'math'. I would submit that mathematics is in no way a singular field, and therefore the short form ought to be ''maths', not 'math', as I have been taught (here in the UK), to be fair, since I was a kid!
