This is a great video. I recall struggling mightily in diff eq because professor flew through all the fundamental stuff in the first 5 minutes of class, then spent the next 55 minutes talking greek. I aced college calculus I & II, then struggled with this crap for 16 weeks because the teacher thought he was lecturing to math PhD candidates.
Sometimes, it's better to talk about this stuff as you would to a child. After this, it gets much harder so understanding fundamentals is important.
It's a sad commentary on the attention span of today's student that math cannot be taught without making it seem like the student is watching MTV or Entertainment Tonight.
@ethantthomason I dont know about everyone but you sure are not... i was making fun of the childish way in which the material was presented, as if for some 10 year old kids. You have to learn to figure out those things for yourself you know....
@h0wud0in2 You're right, I'm not a genius. The fact that you have determined this through one internet comment shows me that perhaps you are though. I am impressed, how do you do it? Telekinesis?
@navyman4 what is it with all the idiots all of a sudden?? my comment got some thums up because it was intended as HuMOR and it was kinda FUNNY. And do you thing that calling me einstein sarcastically is edgy or something? because it doesnt it just makes you sound like a moron..

Thanks, but how it works can you just give us an example such as replacing letters with numbers and solve it. give a value of the variable.
