Dude, this literally brought tears to my eyes. I spent the past 12 hours studying this through my professor's notes and the textbook and all other videos and you explained it in 10 mins.
These videos are really superb. I love how they start with the underlying principles so you end up seeing how things work rather than just memorising a procedure. Thanks very much, blackpedredpen!
My favorite UA-cam channels for learning ODEs are Blackpenredpen, Organic Chemistry Tutor, and Khan Academy. A year ago, I could not solve ODEs. Now I am smashing it. Thanks a lot dude. You're saving me in graduate school.
The integral of tan(x) really got me! I was so confused why he got ln(sec(x)) whilst I got -ln(cos(x)), but then I realised I can just write it as -1(ln(cos(x))) and then as ln(cos(x))^-1 with the logarithm rules, which gives ln(sec(x)). Glad I caught that, love the videos ❤
My teacher: We're going to do linear first order DEs. It's OBVIOUS to everyone that you just need to multiply by this (random term he pulls from his butt) to make this work. So just guess the term that works and do it. Blackpenredpen: This is what we're doing and here's why. (Proceeds to actually EXPLAIN why and how he does things.) I'm going to need your videos this entire quarter because my teacher sucks and just assumes what is obvious to him is obvious to everyone.
Welp, this is the story of my life now. I have no clue why, but every word I can feel in my soul. This guy is bizarre, he explains EVERYTHING in an understandable way, since I found this guy I did not even bother looking anywhere else
They all do that. When you teach something urself and do not understand it all you have to say is it is obvious in order to avoid explaining it which u cannot do.
Whenever I need to review a calc or leplace question, you always are there to help me out! Seriously you're helping so many of us get through this stuff! Thanks!
Man, you should apply for a professor at the Department of Mathematics at the University of Toronto! My prof sucks totally, and the book also sucks. You literally explained as sexy as you could!!!! Thanks a lot, still no idea why I pay 45K for?!
Unfortunately people are appointed to University teaching positions on the basis of their formal academic credentials (e.g. degrees, research papers published etc.) and NOT on their teaching ability! It is about time this should be corrected. How? After the completion of every course every professor should be graded from the feedback by students of the course. These grades should be recorded and evaluated by the college. Based on these evaluations the professor's academic career should be decided.
it took you 20 min to explain this concept in simple terms whereas my proff took two days and even then 90 percent of the class was confused! lol. Well done, thank you

A superb explanation of a lovely technique. It was so good that I paused the video and derived the integration factor from matching terms with the product rule and then, paused again and solved the example DE which, from inspection, was really just cos(x)^2 + sin(x)^2 = 1 disguised in the form of an ODE. To be fair, I studied calculus at uni to third year between 2005-2008, covering methods in solving ODEs and PDEs, but I'd completely forgotten in the interim just how this integrating factor was obtained and to what forms of ODE it could be applied. The way you explained it could scarcely be better and I say that having had several outstanding university lecturers. Thank you so much for twenty minutes of pure entertainment and joy. You are an internet treasure.
I get really stuck and frustrated doing these problems, so seeing you going through it so seamlessly, is very satisfying to watch! :D Thank you for the video! IT HELPED A TON!!
Wow! We just finished diff eq. in my high school Calc class, and they never taught us how to solve non separable equations. This is incredible! Well done
FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART, THANK YOU! OMGGG I'VE BEEN SEARCHING THE INTERNET FOR LIKE 3 HOURS TILL THIS ONE VID EXPLAINED IT ALL. THANK YOU MAN GOD BLESS YOU
You make me feel like I’m cheating by teaching me easier ways to get the right answer and yet I feel like I’m understanding the concepts more too. That’s a nice combination. Thank you for your help and I hope you’re making a lot of money for it!
Bruh as soon as I'm not a poor college student anymore, I will be donating to your patreon. Dude just saved my life like Asian Jesus over here. You took such an abstract concept and clarified it so well in a practical way. Like even if there are parts that I don't fully understand I know I can still use the method now.
There is no doubt about the quality of explanation, but the best thing about this video is the joy on your face while you are explaining it. Best of luck & keep doing the good work.
I love how excited you get when showing a really beautiful proof. It's subtle but you can rly tell u love it, and this makes learning from you so enjoyable. Keep up the amazing work!
Seriously, I've taken this class at two different schools, neither of my teachers explained this simple idea of integrating factor's origin. They just gave us the formula and expected us to memorize the process instead of teaching us the reasoning behind the idea. I'm pretty sure you saved my grade, something Khan academy couldn't even do. Almost nobody explains this connection/origin
Thank you dude, I can't understand why teachers always go using the theorem/technique without establishing fundamentals. Fortunately we have you guys on the internet.
Utterly amazing video! You focus on actually understanding the concept rather than memorizing the formula and your way of teaching is so engaging and easy to follow! Thank you so much!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I have a great Diffe professor, but I missed class the day we went over this, and I've been struggling to figure out why this worked since then! Your explanation was lovely and incredibly easy to follow!
I've been searching through all the videos about this topic but finally this one explains it step by step, no matter how easy a step may be. Thank you!!
Bro i love you really...i was struggling for a day to understand the proof you only took 5mins to make me understand clearly..god bless your heart bro...lots of love ❤ from India
That helps a lot. Every time I hear my teacher say "the product rule" I go "aghh this is gonna be painful" but I know the product rule is easy, but I never understand 'how' my teacher get the formulas, for this lesson I guess I know where it all comes from. Thank you so very much. And that sexy joke made my day haha.
This makes so much sense now!!!! I see what you mean about the final "punchline" part with the deriving/integrating (that really confused me at first). So it's like you have your d/dx and the v(x)*y, and to find the derivative, you integrate that piece so it stays as v(x)*y and integrate the right side! And then it's just simplifying to find y. Wowwwwww. This is great. Thank you!
OMG! I have been scrolling through so many videos trying to understand this until i found you! Thank you so much!! Love how passionate you are when teaching! Really inspiring !
I have to tell you, I got as far as calculus I, and watching you do this it all made sense, and even jarred loose some forgotten trig as well. Nicely done!!!
Hi! I just want to say that you're a great teacher! Im studying calculus at university and my teacher is really bad at explaining how and what he is doing when he shows examples. After the lessons i just watch your videos on the subject, and suddenly everything becomes much clearer. Thank you :)
I have been looking everywhere to figure out how to use the integrating factor as it relates to the product rule. Thank you for this video, it was so helpful!
If you need brief lectures on ordinary differential equations, check out my youtube channel and personal website at mohsenhamedi.com/Lectures/ODE/LectureODE.html
My modules and online lectures only explain the "how" of things, not the "why" of things. And it's especially hard for this kind of subject matter. Thank you for doing the latter excellently.
For once, I got to know where to get myu(x) and why it's needed. Thank you for a good intro into integrating factor method for solving DE. I was having trouble with memorization, but I can just derive it whenever I happen to forget it
Today I got the actual reason of finding the integrating factor..indeed you have deep knowledge n understanding...looking forward for many such videos!
Professors should refer to elegant solutions and methods as "sexy" more often. They are. Also; who are the 157 people who disliked this video? Do they not like friendly, enthusiastic, and concise tutorials for circumstantially specific methods of generating solutions for first order ODE's? Probably all University profs chugging that hater-aide.
thank you so so much! Was learning about this and could not fathom how the product rule was involved. Now I understand it a lot better. Appreciate your work!

Thank you very much for such the nice comment!! : )
Exactly right. Spot on comment.
17:20 "It's so Nice"!- Yes I agree. Your spirit is very refreshing! Like a cold glass of water on a 115F day. Thank you for the videos!

Truly the best explanation of the IF I've seen. Thank you so much. It finally clicks. Woohoo.
Great to hear! Thanks!!!!

i cant even begin to tell you how accurate this is. i wish i had known this a month ago.
I'm beginning to suspect that most teachers have no clue as to why the integrating factor is the way it is.
and this is how teaching should be done
Welp, this is the story of my life now. I have no clue why, but every word I can feel in my soul. This guy is bizarre, he explains EVERYTHING in an understandable way, since I found this guy I did not even bother looking anywhere else
They all do that. When you teach something urself and do not understand it all you have to say is it is obvious in order to avoid explaining it which u cannot do.
YES THANK YOU FOR THIS OMG. Thanks for actually explaining how to identify the product rule!! So many other videos completely skipped that...

wow thank you! im majoring in maths and our prof didnt find it necessary to explain this. your video was extremely helpful!
My pleasure!
One of the best ways to give an introduction to the first-order linear differential equations. Explaining why we do, what we do.
can we start a gofundme to get this guy a lapel microphone

You sir are saving lives, your method of explaining complex topics is unmatched.
Great Explanation Bro! I am currently studying this for my Chemical Engineering degree and this video explained much better than my lecturer.

well explained - the whole idea is to emphasize the formation of IF and its use in solving linear differential equations - very useful
After 2 hours of videos i think this is the best one on the inernett on this topic, thanks man.

I was having trouble with memorization, but I can just derive it whenever I happen to forget it
Thanks for the great video! You explained the concepts so much better than my professor.
The thing that makes it so good is the derivation, and intuition before derivation.
Excellent job. This topic can be quite perplexing and you laid it out in a clear, concise and, may I say, entertaining manner. Bravo!
Today I got the actual reason of finding the integrating factor..indeed you have deep knowledge n understanding...looking forward for many such videos!
This is by far the best explanation I have seen. Thank you.
Thank you, after rewatching your video 3 times and taking good notes, I FINALLYYYY get it! Thank you so much!!
Undoubtedly best video on this topic. In the other videos they skip alot of concepts that are hard to explain.
Im tearing up watching this, everything just fits so perfectly. Thank you
Glad to help 😃
watching videos helps me learn better, especially for my a levels in 2 weeks
Reverse chain rule made it so much more clear to me
I don't usually comment but this video explained everything to me. I even subscribed. keep it up!
15:02
best explanation ever why we use the positive version of sec(x)
