@@dhf335434 Haha yeah, it's really frustrating how a lot of math teachers are so goddamn dry and serious. All that grave super-stiff seriousness drives me crazy, so it's hugely refreshing that Professor Leonard has a much more relaxed and charming personality.
Every Professor should observe how this man teaches. THIS is what it is all about, clear, concise with the ability to convey EXACTLY what he is trying to get into the students head. Thank you professor Leonard from Las Vegas! Tim
Some people seem to think that detailed explanations are some sort of "for dummies" approach; I have always hated that description, because it seems to imply that it is only people with major learning difficulties in the subject (who I guess are the supposed "dummies") who desire clear and detailed explanations. But that is how things SHOULD be taught; if people are new at something, then they WANT hand-holding.
no. it's not that easy. If the professor was as good as Mr. superteacher here then you would have an easier time understanding the subject, but applying the knowledge would be a bit more difficult.
@@luis-vv3lw yeah agree on that one, it would definitely make the process of understanding much easier but to actually use it, it's all on us to go through trial and errors when doing practice questions
Just got a 95% on my first calculus exam at UT Austin! The class average was a 65% and your videos are the reason I did so well. Sincerely, Professor Leonard, thank you so much. You’re the best of the best.
15 minutes into the video and I am like so that's how you do it. 5 weeks into the semester and did not understand anything until now. He is the difference between doing what you love vs doing it for a paycheck. He has passion and patience and that makes him one of a kind. you don't come across Professors like this often. Thank you Professor L.
I know these videos are almost 10 years old at this point, But professor you really are incredible. I didn't have the strongest mathematics background knowledge but you have made everything so clear and easy to follow with some practice. You deserve all the good karma in the world.
Darkenedbyshadows I'm not lying about that. It's very easy to do both or get approved. I got approved by a counselor and got approved by the head of my college math department at my local community college.
i literally WANT to watch the next videos and i actually look forward to making my way through his playlists...this is something i have never before encountered regarding math in my life until professor leonard
thank you very much Professor Leonard....this channel is really helping me ace my math classes. Ever since i started watching the videos I became the math guru in my class and I top my class every test and exercise
This teacher connect with the students, and he explain everything so clear, Im retired and just never understand in my college years what really was doing and passed calculus like a robot, thanks Leonard.
The way you teach is near perfect! the ability to clearly and concisely teach the material and allow complex rules/steps/material to tie in all while making sure your students COMPREHEND is very profficient, damn near excellent. Thanks Professor Leonard! I passed my first test and midterm because of you!!!!!!!! I appreciate you
trying to teach myself this stuff and I got stuck on this. A lot of other books/videos really breeze through this without an intuitive explanation. I feel a million times more confident now, thanks so much for the videos!
Great teacher, I'm so fortunate to have encountered his videos, Professor Leonard's tutorials are the best and I tip my hat. He's been my online instructor in Calculus I and will remain so until I get to Differential Equations. He's the best of the best.
30:30 ... we've been doing it this whole time... mind blown. Thanks Professor Leonard, I go to a huge university and it's nice to have a teacher teach a small class. You answer the questions I have without me asking them.
Thank you. I always understood the rule of "take dy/dx whenever you see y" but I didn't know the reason for it. As everyone else has said your video series is so helpful!
Arusha Braithwaite I am very envious of Merced college calculus students for having such an amazing instructor. I wonder if they realize and appreciate it themselves. I would have taken all of his classes if he taught at my college.
+Dancing Robot I like his teaching skills but I still wouldn't attend his college reason why is when I google the college it said it was a community college.
Knowing what you teach and teaching what you know are as different as chalk and cheese. Well done sir for belonging to the latter definition, you truly are inspirational. Many thanks for all the help you give those like myself who struggle with some mathematical concepts.
You have saved my @$$! Just listening to you teach the chain rule made everything come together within the first 10 minutes. I worked on all the problems you presented before seeing the solutions and got them all correct! My teacher explains it like we've already taken calculus and should know what she's saying, it's so confusing just listening to her.. She leaves out so many parts that you take the time to teach. I have resorted to your videos first so I know what I'm doing then I go to my teachers videos to see what she's "trying" to teach. Thanks so much Professor Leonard! Keep up the awesome work!!
My calculus professor(state university) just spent about 3 minutes explaining this, which is to say he did one example and moved on to derivatives of inverse trig functions. I don't know what I would do if I couldn't watch these after my actual class lectures. I'm an engineering student and I actually want to understand this material, not just pass the class. You are amazing, professor Leonard. I can't thank you enough.
i seriously hate mathematics but studying calculus right now, i forgot to watch your videos to keep up with my course and boy do i want to close tabs of those tutorials and watch this 1 hour long lecture. This is how great this man is
Thank you so much for taking the time to lecture this course and upload it here. Very very straight forward and clear explanation. Helped me so much with my math class!!!!
Taking Calc 1 in 2023... and this video helped me understand better than what they give you in the books or examples through the Mathlab stuff... Thanks, Professor Leonard
I can't believe how helpful this is. My professor knows the material, he just doesn't care about his delivery. Every calculus professor should watch his videos to learn how to actually teach!
Thank you for your videos! I am paying $600 for an online calc course from an accredited university where the teacher doesn't even post lectures, we are supposed to read the material and self teach a subject like this. You are the man
This is great, I'm self studying using "A First Course in Calculus" by Serge Lang and was having trouble seeing the implicit differentiation taking place, this video finally gave me that "ah ha" moment
My Calculus teacher expects our class to learn based off of a PowerPoint per chapter, and 2 minute video clips given by the math book. This has been a huge help thanks! And he doesn't go over the PowerPoint, he just does problems in class ;(
The most satisfying feeling when I pause the time video and did the last problem fast-forwarded the video and got the answer correct! My goodness, someone nominate this guy for a Noble Peace Prize
PROF. LEONARD please I can't wait for a comeback video on your channel, I am waiting ever since I completed those polar coordinates and the whole playlist in under a month, and still. Your board in precalculus always featured " May the MA be with you" and it did with me so am here with your blockbusters ( but still craving for you to look at me in your upcoming super awesome calc. series). I am here to learn stuffs and am finding it better to be more helpful than the millions of pennies that would have gone away, if only god never allowed me to find you. Thanks to Jesus from your side and Thanks to Krishna from mine. am a 10th grader, and so my parents don't allow me to go on more than youtube , so I never found you elsewhere. Congrats for your new house and godspeed for the upcoming adventures we'll face together in maths. please, please let me digest your absence, thru u replying on at least the first line...... I'LL BE WAITING
16:08 What you do on one side, you must do on the other side: Typically you get an equation like y = 3x^2 +4 and you would take the derivative of the right hand side of the equation ** dy/dx[3x^2 +4]. However, if I understand this correctly, its really set up as: d/dx[y] = dy/dx[3x^2 +4] And so the key piece of information is hidden in there; that d/dx[y] = dy/dx
Weird, a Cal teacher who doesn't act like his students should already know the material
soooo true =_="
FUCKING TRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
this may be the most spot on comment
Justin Mabry this comment is painfully PAINFULLY TRUE!!!!!!!!!
That's the reason that I'm here in the first place!!!!
Professors should watch you so they can learn how to teach.

Aung Lin Hands down the best. He breaks it down into clear understandable English.
idk what they are paying him, but professor swole needs a raise!!

if i had him in 1985 for calculus, i wouldn't have failed the first time i took it
I'm convinced if all my professors were this good at their job I would be a genius in every subject

So fucking true bro! Im taking cal 1 and cal 2 at the sametime in college and hes better than both
mjohnson510 I don't know how you got away with taking Cal 1 and Cal 2 at same time.

If you are able to do Calc 2, why bother going through Calc 1? Unless you are attempting to better your marks from Calc 1.
You are now my online math Professor.
i literally WANT to watch the next videos and i actually look forward to making my way through his playlists...this is something i have never before encountered regarding math in my life until professor leonard
Same! His enthusiasm and clear explanations are everything. Complete opposite to my current Cal professor 😵💫

Awesome!! Very proud to have helped :)
This just shows that taking your time in teaching improves the students' understanding tremendously. Unlike most professors in college. Thank you.
I’ve used his videos all throughout college, and finally graduating in May 😂Thanks professor Leonard!
Once upon a time people left their homes and traveled thousands of miles to find the best school and the best teacher. Now .....
It's like the Issac Asimov short story, "The Fun they Had"
You should do a video on how to lift.
For real though. PL inspired me to get in shape

Thank you very much Leonard, I am struggling with Calc 1 with college virtually, but your an amazing help : )
he really be lifting my gpa more than those weights tho
you nailed it professor.
i dont think so any teacher or any channel explained this much detailed.
thank you
Thank you! I really appreciate that

What I really admire is how calculations are well organized....if only my math teachers (in the past) could insisted on that ....

You have to see the last equation in the graph function calculator with the slope at (2,1), it`s really nice
Excellent Clarity! Thanks!
All these months I though I was a dumb kid who wasn't fit for doing math or calculus for that matter, it really was this easy...thanks prof!
