Nice job Prof. Leonard. I'm scared for the lectures on polynomials honestly. Those things have confused me for as long as I can remember, but I need to learn how to divide polynomials for analysis (learning the theory of infinite series), hopefully one of your courses will cover it! I'll just have to look through them all.
Optimus Prime Leonard - first of all, thank you for all the amazing content. This is my second time going through your material, (reviewing/prepping for the GRE/GMAT). Huge fan. For the problems towards the end of the videos (solving equations with variables & decimals) - it's probably not what you're trying to teach with this section, but for those of us that hate working with decimals, couldn't you multiply everything on both sides of the equation x 10 to get rid of the decimals (after distributing)? I'm not sure if that's something you like teaching or if that just muddies the waters, but I find that helpful to get rid of decimals since I like to work with whole numbers.
Thank you, Professor Leonard, I understand everything in prealgebra so far with your help :) Lasma from Latvia.

Yes!! You absolutely can :)
Pandemic has brought me here and it’s amazing!
Is it a good sign if I can do these in my head in under 2 minutes 🙀
