Big Picture: Derivatives

[ibfahad]

this is great.. i don't know what to say he has a priceless mind

[taimoor722]

function graph slope at different points first increases and then decreaces at peak point and

function derivative give cosin x function whose graph show increase and decreasce in the value of slope of sin function on graph

[juanarruti]

i love how this guy explains the derivative not just tells you how to find it.

[tl0tt]

This is great. You can tell that he his passionate about math, that's one of the most important features about being a teacher. Makes it exciting. =)

thanks to Mr. Strang. Poor people from developing countries now have the chance to have top level education. People like Mr. Strang should be given some kind of noble peace prize not to politicians who pretend to be peaceful but are actually war mongers. God blees Mr Strang wish there were more good people like you.

perhaps the most interesting video on derivatives on Youtube...:)

Midterms in 2 days, and I find myself watching these for recreational-purposes from studying it for 10h. The best thing about these lectures is that when you are tired of studying, someone will be there to remind you of, say, the amazingness of e^x, and you just want to go back to the textbook to learn more about it!

[juanarruti]

@TheNoorac e^x is awesome

I am from a developing country. Since the day I knew the MIT existed I wanted to go there, but I knew It was too difficult. Just 1% in my country make it to go to college. TO GO...and less (much less) than those get a degree. I entered college and was doing great, but after finalizing the secong year I had to quit because I got sick and didnt have enough money. This is like a dream come true in a sense to me. I can attend MIT!!!

I couldnt believe I was actually enjoying these lectures, and have found myself drawn back into maths "for the fun of it" 10years after leaving college! Thanks dr s. Amazing man.

Greatest Treasures of all times created by MIT and Dr. Strang

These are nice lectures. It's funny for me to hear a professor begin his lecture by saying "OK, hi" – I am from Europe, where this is not usual.

This is the type of lovely american gentleman I used to caddy for when I was a young lad in connemara(Ireland) . All of the caddies thought fellows like this were class acts , and I still do. What a gent?

HI I'm Mexican, I'm studying Civil Engineer at IPN in Mexico DF, I thougt my teachers are good but there are many diferences betwen this class and my classes.

Those teachers are very good.

and i'm sorry my English isn't very well

[jmeverts1234]

Great video's! Excellent teachers!

[mwise7477]

I think that this is an awesome thing that MIT is doing. Their teaching is so to the point and fast paced, it really cuts to the heart of the matter and does an excellent job explaining the subject.

[cazber]

After watching this video for 30 seconds, I understand more than what my teachers ever made me understand.

I'm now actually quite angry at how bad teachers I have had. My suspicion is that they did not really understand it, an yet tried to learn others. Not the best idea.

Big thanks for these videos:)

[futurelizp]

I'm at the beginning of learning calculus and these videos have been the most helpful thus far! Thank you GS!

[nsakic]

He is amazing. He got his PhD in 1959 and started teaching at MIT before JFK was assassinated and he is still there.

[skauffman74]

So do I, I'm an Electrical Engineer and always is good return to the foundations. Keep in that way!

[eckbert1982]

He is just brilliant and I just watch these courses just for 'edu' -fun ;-)
