Lec 15 | MIT 18.01 Single Variable Calculus, Fall 2007

[ttttrigg3r]

Camera guy if you're reading this, please keep camera on the board and stop following the professor unless he is physically making demonstration

[stavrospod]

by far the best video of integrals I've ever seen. he made it so clear to me..thanks

[navi1007]

smoke is coming out of my ass 

[SharylZulaau452]

najo ich bin eine gummi puppe

[agapitoflores001]

This is the smoothest discussion I've ever watched.

[thebigfootme]

math is one of my favorite subject!thanks for the lecture!

[petrovich144]

Interesting video 

[just003]

why is there a dislike -.-

[Kroteezy]

I failed high school algebra. What is this.

[Rfish117]

If the active companies founded by MIT graduates formed an independent nation, their revenues would make that nation at least the 17th-largest economy in the world...

[skatercdub16]

how the fuck are freshman at MIT only taking single variable calculus....

[TheLiberalSoup]

@skatercdub16

I know right? Im a fucking freshman in high school, and I already knew this! How do they get into MIT FOR courses like this if they don't know this calculus??

[tomczyce]

what lec number does he do linear approximation?

[XxBrian88xX]

This guy is a horrible lecturer. He just tells the students the answers without showing them how to get there... Just saying

[datHulkinZ]

@XxBrian88xX just saying it isn't true

[teledynepost]

@XxBrian88xX I agree. I have watched this series up to this point and though I can't say that he is not trying or is incorrect...nevertheless his treatment of the material is just too pedantic and never addresses the real issues. This is especially apparent when he tries to answer questions from the students he seems to skirt the real stumbling blocks. Combined with his twitchy mannerisms makes it hard to follow. It's instruction like this that turned me off of math throughout my schooling.

[XxBrian88xX]

@teledynepost I agree completely!

[Hotboiruben2]

How do you get into MIT and not be able to test out of calculus thats what I wanna know lol.

MIT is one of the most prestigious technical schools in the world how the hell do its freshmen get in without being calc gurus?

[tomczyce]

@Hotboiruben2 blinnggg blingggggg thats alllll there is and a nice paper after four years comes back.

[purplebeer22]

@Hotboiruben2 not all high schools have classes that teach calculus, it would be unfair for MIT to reject people that are really smart and motivated just because they went to a bad high school. Seriously, its the 15th lecture get over it by now, and maybe pay attention to the material.

[poroporoa]

magine the professors brain SHIT!!!! is Huge

[perfect1oNN]

I Freaking LOVE MATH! The feeling you get when solve a problem is just beautiful. It's my drug!

[J0EH3AD]

Mr. Jerison. You are excellent teacher. You care and try to explain. you evidently do your best! I wish all teachers were like you. You are really a pro! Regards.

[giovanni9107]

I've been preparing for college in Italy for a couple months now with the official books and I can't help noticing one fundamental difference between the american and the european teaching philosophy: americans appeal to your common sense to make learning easy and fun, while europeans try to make it as formal and meticulous as possible so that you get used to working your ass off.

[podx990]

Regarding the integral starting at 30:30 [ x^3(x^4 + 2)^5 ]:

The simplest answer Mathematica gives is 8x^4 + 10x^8 + (20x^12)/3 + (5x^16)/2 + x^20/2 + x^24/24. If you expand 1/24 (x^4+ 2)^6 (professor's answer), you get the same thing PLUS a constant of integration of 8/3. While this part looks wrong, whatever constant you add can cancel this 8/3 so it works fine.

It's disappointing to know that you still need a brain to make some solutions look their shiniest.

[woodmaster413]

i dont know what the cameraman was thinking. its a video so whoever is taking notes on it can pause to copy down the stuff on the board but no, the cameraman has to stay on the board for like 10 seconds while the professor lectures on about something else on the board.

[michalchik]

The pentagon cash isn't budgeted for stuff like this.

[BigPurple121]

dee dee dee. I was surprised because my professor didn't explain that.

[sukottosumisu]

It would be really good if this video series were continued...

[junkmail1203]

why won't the rest be uploaded?

[DjibrilChimereDiaw]

Thanks!

[junkmail1203]

Hi, when is the rest going to be uploaded?

THANK YOU MIT

I Passed Calc 1, now awaiting Calc 2 integration.

Best supplementary lesson.

[amrosik]

the rest wont be uploaded-.

[debunker1905]

this teacher is very very good.

[TheDunc]

kinda blew my mind at the end with the c1 and c2.. didn't see that coming. lawl

[BigPurple121]

DELTA!! thats what the "d" in dy/dx stands for.

[lunaticajuanita]

no creo que consigas en español, es estados unidos, asi que triste y todo pero todo del MIT está en inglés!

[jimmylyloayza]

TOO GOOD TO EXCELLENT hope continue to expand this project UNIVERSITIES AND MORE QUALIFIED TEACHERS as those imparting the knowledge BUT PLEASE BE TRANSLATED TO ALL WHO CAME TO THE WORLD! EXCELLENT!

[pdlaban]

donde consigo informacion de universidades con clases en idioma español

[angela1894]

This is not difficult. I'd have assumed that MIT would have a more advanced treatment of this

[stihl4321]

google mit course catalog mathematics and take your pick

but not available on ocw. same way with the physics lecture.

[Kingarthur305]

This teacher knows what he's doing!

[angela1894]

What is the professor's name ?

[MelloMushroom91]

david jerison

[annoymage]

i wonder if there is lecture 16???

[mstbenicebeingstupid]

this is awesome, this guy is a great teacher, math is the toughest to teach.

[stevewalker12321]

Look at those chumps walking in late...

[ryecheese999]

@stevewalker12321 look at that professor not giving a shit

[JG12234]

@ryecheese999 LMAO, this is MIT. Not a piece of shit community college haha. The reason why he seems like "he doesn't give a shit" is because as you can see from these lectures he has an EXTENSIVE amount of material ro present in a short-period of time. ALSO, he has a class of 200+ students. Therefore, he needs to move quickly and does not have time for a lot of questions/stalling time. That is what OFFICE HOURS are for!

[ryecheese999]

@JG12234 first off, you pretty much learn the same thing in calculus so it really doesnt matter what school you go to. second, i am aware that is alot to cover. this guy helps me alot so im not insulting him

[pithikoulis]

@stevewalker12321 what about it? I don't see anything bad in that. It doesn't effect the teaching so what's the harm?

[shinaxs]

whate beautiful chalk. my teachers here have flimsy chalk that breaks with every use, they go through a box each class (3hs).

[DylanBunneh]

oh my god, a featured video that isn't useless memetic garbage

[metainfinity]

awesome
