      +3Blue1Brown Thank you. Relearning things that I learned over a decade ago (athough not fully - had to memorize a lot of stuff) from a different perspective really helps. I remember when I cracked (before I learned about limits, only heard of them) by myself the derivative of ax^2+bx+c and was so happy and proud, but also unnerved, since c disappeared and I thought - We're losing information here people! Cheers!

      @p s hey! Pretty sure you did not intend to tag ME as one of the replyers but I will give my opinion anyway: from what I have observed pure mathematics in higher math tend toward topics like group theory and analysis. Applied mathematics at a higher level tend toward topics in other sciences and lab data analysis. I am far from the end all be all for what each field does, but there ya go. You may choose depending on your interests. I am always happy to see those interested! Lots of encouragement from me!

    Those pi-creatures are a subtle, but at least for me very effective way to make the parts of the video that are non-visual have more of an impact. They do so many things, emoting how you think the audience feels at the moment (and asking questions when you want to tackle them), tracking what's going on on the screen with their eyes, pointing at stuff, ...
    This alone must have been so much work! You also made their various poses very expressive, and not to forget cute.

    I think about the average of a continuous variable as shaking up a bucket of sand until it levels. Since the amount of sand is constant, the area under the curve stays the same. New shape is a rectangle with the area being the base (interval length) times the height (average value). Therefore, the average is the integral divided by the interval length. This can be extended to multiple variables.

      louisng114 That kind of sounds like cutting all the rectangles in the integrals so that they have the same height and then lining them up to form one large rectangle and the height of that large rectangle is your average for f(x) on the interval [a,b].That height has to be just the right value for you to be able to do that otherwise you would end up with a few rectangles that wouldn’t have the same height and they would screw up the large rectangle.

    At some point I understood math's symbology, and got good at moving around all the variables and bits of notation. This meant that I could answer homework questions, and do most test problems, but I had no intuition for what was happening. It took me many years (and failing classes a few times when I ran into a professor that cared more about understanding than good test takers) to build up an understanding for what was happening when I was shuffling all those bits around on the paper.

    For maximum enjoyment, take the equation at the top-left of 10:50 and ask what happens as you take (b - a) closer to 0. Well, on the left, you get the integral from a to almost-a of f(x), over a very tiny amount approaching zero; this ends up being just f(x). And on the right, you get the limit of (F(b) - F(a)) / (b - a) as (b - a) goes to 0, which is just the definition of dF(x)/dx. So f(x) = dF(x)/dx, exactly as expected!

    • @SunilSkanda

      f(x) = slope of antiderivative of f(x)
      f(x) = slope of F(x)
      Take average on both sides, we get:
      Avg [ f(x) ] = Avg [ slope of F(x) ]
      That's how he got the equation he wrote on 10:50 at top left. I guess he forgot to write the statement in words.
      Once you get this equation LHS is area under curve (i.e. LHS is integral of f(x) ) , RHS is slope of the 'antiderivative' F(x) )
      Since LHS and RHS are equal, area under any f(x) and slope of ITS antiderivative F(x) are equal.

    It seems to me that this is because, when approaching an average of a finite set of values, we have been drilled to treat it as the sum of the set over the number of terms - finding the mean of the set. This, in the cases that we've always seen in algebra, works perfectly fine, but is not the most general concept of an average. An average value is, most generally the "middle-est" value of a set - which, in the simple finite case, is very well described as a simple mean, but in finding the average of a continuous variable of course can't be approached the same way.
    My point is this - the definition of an "average value" does not break down when asked about an infinite set, but rather asks you, the mathematician, to broaden your idea of what an average is. In any case, your video is exceptionally made as always. Thank you for the content.

    This was great I never appreciated this despite having an MPhys. The integral encodes the height of a function into the slope of another by taking the anti-derivative. It is much easier to find the average slope than the average height. We can therefore find the average height (or total area) by taking the average slope of the antiderivative. Amazing, kicking myself.

      I'm in that bunch, except that I didn't give him a thumbs down. I didn't because I know what he's saying makes perfect sense to people who can follow all the arcane terminology, and its helpful to them. To me, the following makes ZERO sense: "By definition, sine of X is the derivative of the anti-derivative graph. It gives us the slope of negative cosine at any point." It might as well say, "the octo-quad Pi inverse anti multiplier quasi place splitting quadrant divider's anti-pi is, of course, as can easily be seen, the drawn downdrop of plus valued hyper-zip splitters." That's how insanely inscrutable all this language sounds to me, and even more depressingly for me, it's meant to turn the light bulb on in people's minds, its actually AN EXPLANATION! The animation of the slope line tilting one way and then the other is conveying something, but it isn't at all apparent to me what that might be. I realize the animation and what he's saying at the time the animation is moving go together...but nope...the light bulb did not go on for me. It's absolute jibberish to me.

      You can't get integrals without knowing derivatives. Heck I know derivatives and I'm still struggling. Don't feel bad if you don't get it, there's not a magic formula for understanding those things, no matter how talented is the one explaining them (and this guy is talented, I guarantee). You have to do a ton of work. It's true, in some people's minds it just clicks together as soon as they go along with him, maybe some are 15 year olds but who cares about them. Care about yourself.
      Don't rush to higher maths because you see that some people get it with ease, take your time. My advice is (if you want it) work your way up from basic geometry, it takes patience but you'll find out that going over the old stuff you get so many more things, and by the time you get here again it will be a breeze.
