ehm ich hab was unanständiges entdeckt

[agapitoflores001]

Very good one. Excellent reference.

[arestes]

at the end he says something about imaginary numbers to rescue the value of that integral calculated naively ...which turns out to be negative... what did he mean?? anyone knows?

[a1malik]

I am intoxated by just the name of MIT! I am intensely in love with MIT! I am not just rich enough to be known as part of MIT! And also smartness..wel..I just dont work as hard....

[juliloal]

My teacher makes me hate calculus, this classes make me love it back again!!! ♥

Thanks MIT!!!

[eddblah]

wow i am glad that i go to a university where they give the notes after the class because i would not be able to copy ALL of that.

i would get flustered and throw my pencil.

[hyperthreaded]

IF { he continues to write letters that big AS he gives the lecture

THEN he's not gonna fit very much onto that blackboard.

[effyochicken]

This has renewed my hope that I can survive calculus at my college. I have a horrible professor, and he makes this 100x harder than it needs to be. Thank you, MIT. I'll dedicate a robot to your youtube channel one day.

[SuperDMK123]

greaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat professor.I watch his every video.He is a god.

[xanet602]

OUCH! Improper Integrals!

[dvdrplus]

Great Professor.

I've been in a few classes that use interactive white boards / projectors, etc. -- they just get in the way of learning. -- it's much easier to follow a lecture when the proff is writing as he's speaking. -- good old chalkboard ftw.

[frozenyetimaster]

@GRNoam

What do you think they do with the interactive white board? I respect your opinion but I find that the "Smart Board" makes the class more interesting so you don't get distracted and it has many features that can help you understand; I'd like to see someone watch a movie on a black board or display a graph, chart, diagram etc.

[EgoSumIndigentia]

@frozenyetimaster You just use a computer then. -.-

Nothing beats chalkboard for explaining concepts. 

[frozenyetimaster]

@EgoSumIndigentia

You can't show a class of sixty students a graph on your laptop monitor -.-

[EgoSumIndigentia]

@frozenyetimaster Let me refer you to this video:

Lec 8 | MIT 5.95J Teaching College-Level Science and Engineering, Spring 2009

^ YouTube that.

It has everything that is needed to be said.

[non523]

my question is, despite being the most prestigious technical university in the country, all they can afford is old school Black Boards!!!

[chhouka]

I asked myself the same question!

[darylicked]

@non523 Hard to find realy fat dry erase markers

[pyroclastical]

@non523 I'm sorry for your compact mind. You think that a black board is what defines a prestigious institution. You do not deserve to know this course at all.



[zakuma22]

very good teacher, love it!!

[negativearts]

good but slow

[jdmx3]

nonsens demon word jugglery...

[aeroflying]

what spirit is he keeping with?

[gomunkul]

the spirit of "dealing with infinity"

as he talks about infinity divided by infinity ;)

[reckz420]

dang!! takes me back to me college days for my undergrad in EE

[randomstuf101]

This explains why I didn't got to MIT....

[tikycaaa93]

nice board

[eclecteric]

Interactive White Board???

[ukgrant]

Haha

[jrodtopo]

Nice video. I have never seen rising chalkboards. It would be nice to have these when I teach hehe.

[thatoneguyjosh]

2+2=4

[catcherguy94]

nice post

[hisholyhoviness]

thgis is all alien language to me.

[snoopdiego9]

wow this helps with my advanced proficiency calculus class in my high school.

[dgman01]

I am thoroughly enjoying this lecture! Thank you for uploading this.

[yangtz]

wow... i think i should just spend my studying time using these vids.. lol.. i learned more here than trying to self-study

[PostalTubeAlex]

wow. blackboards. it seems so archaic for MIT.

[ModernSurvivor]

but chalk rocks (no pun intended of course)

[Johnnymatics]

Thank u Prof.
