there are lots of flamers on the net, don't pay attention to them. i liked your video, it's funny and actually trying to teach something that is kind of hard to understand for many people. thank you in the name of all humankind :)
You throw around those limit rules like you know them. Do you know them? Do your students know them? I suggest you see if you can rigorously prove lim(f(x)g(x)) = lim(f(x))*lim(g(x)). It's quite the daunting task.
Simply amazing, Professor. You totally rock. I sometimes rap about teaching math, but as of yet I haven't worked up the nerve to rap while teaching math. Clearly your students appreciate your mad rap skills and your love of teaching. Love the ho-dee-hi minus hi-dee-ho over ho ho quotient rule thing. Love the beads too. Rock on.
I'm in his Cal 1 class. He is the teacher everyone tries to get, have to register right away, for good reason. Excellent teacher and makes math class fun by marching to his own drummer.
I had him for a teacher b4. He is super smart, and he grades on a curve. He is really helpful to the students and is willing to help them during his office hours. plus he is quite silly in the classroom. lol
Hey, I'm a current calc student (junior in highschool) and i found this rap extremely amusing and its so funny when you know the content. Please make more!
All the insults are ridiculous. It's pretty disgusting if any of you really wish that he were to die because of this, or if your life is somehow less worthwhile for having seen a YouTube video. Grow up and move on.
I attend the university where he is a instructor. This guy is a genius, he has helped me in so many ways, I actually owe what I know about calculus to him. Preach On P.E.Z
Actually, it is customary for people in Canada to wish death by a plane-pedestrian accident to others who have severally impacted society in a negative manner, such as creating this awful waster of internet bandwidth. I was actually going to explain this on an internet rap, but your work has discouraged me, and many others. So I too can only wish that you get hit by a plane.
Your rap provokes people to come up with some of the most imaginative insults I think I've ever seen on youtube-- I mean c'mon, that one guy makes reference to trisomy 21, thats digging deep. Anyway, I just took business calc, and somehow ended up watching these calculus rap videos-- Issac Newton and Leibniz would be shocked! Good luck on teaching your kids.
i hope this person dies by getting hit by a plane but then god didnt realize it was his time so he went back to earth and god put him down on an airport and he got hit by another plane
k thats just sad man, like i agree, u should be killed in so many horrible ways, i hope somebody fucking rapes u like my math teacher played this, and he thinks u r a jackass
It is sad to think one would have to do this to get people to listen to them talk about calculus, however understandable if the explanation is so lacking in conceptual content. Without an understanding of why these mathematical relationships are happening, there is no point in studying math, and to dictate it as a series of rules is only likely to instill a negative notion towards math. If, on the other hand, the motive here is not educational, I recommend having naked chics.
There is no possible explanation for this...thing. You are an awful person and I hope you get hit by a plane and then your corpse is frequently ejaculated on by well endowed black men.
Thank you for your good wishes! Should your aspirations be realized, I won't notice the violation of the corpse: I'll be dead. If, on the other hand, these necrophiliac gentlemen learn calculus as a result of this video, then one of my purposes will be achieved.
If you don't find it funny or instructive, don't watch.
That was simply splendid!! Superbly Innovative ^^

Actually, it is customary for people in Canada to wish death by a plane-pedestrian accident to others who have severally impacted society in a negative manner, such as creating this awful waster of internet bandwidth. I was actually going to explain this on an internet rap, but your work has discouraged me, and many others. So I too can only wish that you get hit by a plane.
