Lec 13 | MIT 18.02 Multivariable Calculus, Fall 2007

[Sinjinator]

So, what's the point? ;-)

[AntoMelta]

Good, I like that you share this video Lecture 13: Lagrange multipliers., I wish success always

[willamricard]

Nice Video Lagrange multipliers That You Share , So Very Nice Thanks You

[imegatrone]

I Really Like The Video Lagrange multipliers From Your

[bundawartini]

Your Video Is Very Useful Sharing Lagrange multipliers

guys does lagrange's method include every critical point on the curve ?

[yonatanable]

Wow. I couldn't perceive till I see from this lect. that the Lagrange multiplier method, example, that the maximum values of f are found at infinity to the hyperbola.

[woo216]

why do mit students always clap when the lecturer makes some strange obscure joke what a bunch of wierdo zombies

[gorgolyt]

@woo216 how does it feel to be working for weirdo zombies?

@yonatanalemayehu lolwat

[Bachamami91]

this is all good but maybe breaking up the lecture into sections and many different videos instead of 50 minutes would work great. but he teaches very well

[middleCmusic]

He thinks it's funny that the girl is asking what the Lagrange multiplier is as if her question is why something that multiplies should be called a multiplier, when he never explicitly said what it was. The problem with this lecture is that it's not very focused and it's very easy to lose sight of the goal when he does it in such a scrambled way. I wouldn't be surprised if a quarter of that question-less silence is due to the inability to even formulate a question about the material.

[michaelwigginsgoff]

@middleCmusic Maybe it's because i already understand lagrange multipliers, but they should not be that lost. this explanation is pretty decent, imho

[marzil]

pure awesomeness.!!

[rsplenum]

I love MIT opencourseware.

[malteserer]

Thanks! Great lecture :)

[ycz13]

Psh, that example had a much easier solution. Just multiply the first two equations, cancel the xy (as clearly neither can be 0), and you get L^2 = 4.

Glad to finally learn Lagrange Multipliers, though; my teacher skipped over them in AP Calc, so they've always seemed like some magical algorithm I would never know that trivially solves optimization problems.

[Taowhr]

Oh my god, he is French? I keep thinking he was German lol

[joecheen]

this course is really helpful! my calculus pro just can't explain this well, oh how i long for going to MIT!

[bobdagangster]

That blackboard made my day

@bobdagangster

immature comment

[bobdagangster]

@jphotguy

would you mind telling me why?

[jphotguy]

@bobdagangster

Coz I said so! Isnt that enough sweetums?

[isabelita86]

no proofs, this looks more like a recipe than real mathematics.

[royalnachos]

who needs proofs!?

[MrHarimote]

anyone who is interested in knowing what is he doing, or who wants to enjoy the beauty of mathematics .

of course you don't ... but you will never come out of the cave

[nahvkolaj]

proofs are something you can look up in the text book or online. for me, they are also something I see in regular lecture. it's nice that the MIT videos are straight to the point.

[gustgr]

@isabelita86

It's not a course on Analysis, but an introductory multivariable calculus. The first contact with the subject should be approached without very formal proofs. Other than that, many students will not follow a career on Math, that's why there are different subjects with different focus. MIT's approach on introductory courses are novel and enable the student to go further on his own, if desired.

[beachplumm]

I LOVE HIM!!!!

[taketaxisky]

the prof is awesome!!

[aljaesson]

this makes everything so clear now

[brilliantdiamonds]

These videos are sooo helpful.

I really appreciate the fact that they're available

[DiAM0ND206]

wow. I asked my teacher how the Gradient of F or G related to the graph and he gave me a half ass'd answer. Now I finally get what it all means graphically and why the gradients are equal * lambda. THANKS!

[kirkigr]

the subtitles .. don't worked good on this video.. :( .. but the proffessor has clear voice :)x..

thanks MIT

[Avogadro1988]

Wow 13+! hahaha everyone loves the fajar96te's comment. Lagrange Multipliers are awesome! MULTIVAR. CALC = AWESOME!

[fajar96te]

Thank you Denis, thank you MIT, thank you YouTube, thank you everyone!

[KillerChaijBalin]

LOL?
