  • Biology students lament being required to study calculus. But it's actually more useful than they think.

    Thank you for the video! Made me realize the greater importance in calculus for biology, even though I wanna be a pure mathematician, I still find it interesting

    I love this. I'm studying molecular biology and I've always been interested in applying mathematical concepts in my field.

    😭😭😭 I'm sorry for taking your entire winter break but I swear these are the best... A little fast paced for me in the math especially the newest series you've started (the SECRETS of biology from the _unconventional perspective_ of *math* ... Don't mind me I just liked the way you said it)
    I feel quite content with your videos, thank you for making them and I hope you get enough rest in this! Unfortunately UA-cam doesn't come in cycles so it's hard to find a pace that provides a relax and grind mode

      It's not unconventional.. You have course such as biostatistics, biophysics, biochemistry, neuroscience, computational biology etc which uses calculus and other maths like Fourier transform etc... It's just that these fields are never heard by normal people because usually these are in masters and phd level .. Some courses like bioinformatics, biophysics etc are from undergraduate level so you can find use of calculus in them...
      It's not a new thing at all...

      Yes! I didn't mean it that way, it's just literary the title of the newest series he's making! 😁😚
      I'm really excited to learn in depth the math rooted in them because although I studied half of these, the actual math of it wasn't described in beautiful meaningful details, it was just treated like an alien slobber that would lead us to very useful equations that can then be used to answer some of our questions without needing tedious lab labour

    was going to gloss over this vid since i knew nothing about calculus a long while ago
    but now since studied it in school this vid should be pretty fun to watch

    Me from biophysics: Fools... The simplest answer would be enzymes and hormones! As one could jokingly say: Biological systems run on differentials.

    first thing i thought of, before even 3 minutes into the video. calculus is very important in biochemistry. enzyme kinetics anyone? but also, its so important in GENERAL and its critical thinking skills that we deliberately block out because "iM bAd aT mAtH LoL"... it's just sad. Thank you OP for making this video series, it's so very important and you did an amazing job!!!
