Calculus 3 Tutor, Vol 1 - Sample 1 - Partial Derivatives

[Nickslick1224]

Very nice vid. Very easy to understand and it gave me an idea of what's to come!

[gibson1789]

isn't this more thermodynamics than calculus?

[mathtutordvd]

@gibson1789 All science is really an application of math. In this case the example I am using does involve thermodynamics but the math involved is calculus. This is why it is a good, practical example.

[gibson1789]

@mathtutordvd makes sense.

Now I am ready to start Calculus 3 in a week!!

[LilBlacJac510]

Man I have to take this shit in a year and I heard this was hard as hell. Any tips? 

[mathtutordvd]

@LilBlacJac510 Yes, the best tip is to make SURE you have a good foundation in Calculus 1 and 2 prior to taking this course. Don't "kind of" understand things before taking it or you will sink.

I just started with Calculus I... Cal 3 looks fun.. will be looking forward to it in the fall.

[730ize]

@Xenthoid did u say calc 3 is fun? guard bless u, that calc3 is total hell

[mathtutordvd]

@730ize It is only hard because you don't have a great foundation. Fix that, and it will all make sense. You can't plow through it without a good foundation in calc 1 and calc 2. Thanks!

I purchased Volume 1 and 2 and it arrived today. I'm so happy I did! I did well in Calc 1 and 2 but the current professor I have for Calc 3 is very confusing and now that I have the DVDs I feel like I have hope again because he's filling in the gaps that the professor missed. I'm really thankful for these videos!!

I'm taking Calculus III in the fall; I will need to know about partial derivatives and whatnot.

I often heat plates of steel up with a blowtorch and i do sometimes wonder what the temperature is a various points and in the past iv always used a thermometer. not anymore tho, after watching this vid i can just work it out with calc! cool eh bye bye stupid old thermometer! nurses should learn this so they can work out the temp in diferent areas of a patens arse without having to wiggle the thermometer about.

@gluepot66

Actually, I think you've raised some good points with your sarcasm gluepot. Instead of working out in advance how the exhaust of a rocket's thrusters will heat various metal components of a space vehicle, maybe engineers should just have a nurse with a thermometer and tell her to wiggle it about.

Better yet, let's discard mathematics or even precision in its entirety in favor of the easier and arguably better eyeballing method. They should start using that to design CPUs and LCDs.

[Nosebleed90]

I really like this guy

[marzil]

very well explained. i hope i get a good instructor like this when i get to this level.

[elghs2001]

Cool vid. I was just interested in what Calc 3 was about, and watched. Looks good.

[MrJhasseL]

@elghs2001 LOL SAME HERE!
