  • Why is the dy/dx necessary at the end when finding the derivative of the multiplied functions? I don't remember writing it when using that rule.

  • Differential Equations usually comes after Multivariable Calculus, where partial differentials is fully covered. I believe this set of videos is fine without the partial differentials review. Nice work, as always Khan! <3

  • I never understood algebra, or calculus or Trigonometry or whatever rocket science math this is supposed to be, who the hell uses this stuff in real life anyway?

  • @MrNoturaveragerednek Differential equations are mostly used in physics in engineering. Basically it's very useful when working with objects in perpetual movement. The car you drive, the satellites that allows GPS to function and much more were designed much more effectively because of differential equations.

  • Thank you Sal!!! :)

  • SIR i literally have no words to how much you are helping us students ! God bless you !

  • psy function , we can replaced with another function " to make it easier psy looks scariness " just for that

  • I had to view this video 5 times before I noticed that y is a function of x -.-

  • I feel stupid

  • @RecLuseGurL91 You're not "stupid" for not knowing this stuff. Your educational background's just short in the area. You'd only be "stupid" if you rejected knowledge.

  • Just two more videos and you'll reach 2,000!!!!! Congratulations!!!

  • THESE TUTORIALS ARE AWESOME!

  • Why didnt you include constants needed before the partials?

  • I feel stupid asking this, and really I wonder if it's even necessary to ask, but is this touching on multi-variable stuff? Because it seems to me that you have a variable x and a function of that variable y(x). But perhaps y(x) is, in itself, a variable? I've been through the first two calcs and this is completely new to me. Our prof. never touched on any of this.

  • Comment removed

  • @JohnNumberThree Yes, it's multivariate and it doesn't take much to check...the function Psi depends on y AND x. Hence, there's more than one variable = multi. I'm no expert on this either but as far as I can tell he's taking the total derivative: the function depends directly on x and indirectly on x through y.

  • So x and y in the psi function are independent or just simply function of one variable??

  • Is this video supposed to be here in the playlist? We've only just done first order seperable equations and this next video is on partial derivatives?

  • he is god in differential i swear

  • yeah, it looked kinda proofy :P

    good reminder for the chain rule in multivariable calculus

  • Shut up, it makes no difference what notation for the function is. or how its pronounced!!!

  • @ibizaboyz its xi pronounced "zi" with a symbol like an equals sign but one more line on top( Ξ ). it is the equivalent to the english x. Im in a fraternity, I had to learn the greek alphabet and all the symbols and english equivalents. :)

  • True.

  • @ibizaboyz *sigh*...

  • The Greek letter you use here is called Psi, not Zi. Psi looks like a trident and capitol Zi looks like three horizontal lines, while it's lower case looks like a capitol cursive E. Good brush ups though.

  • Before you try to dis check your facts, Xi.

  • hey khan, marry me?

  • Oops, sorry, I see it it is already there !

  • Great, thank you, but I think some intro on partial differentials would be in place (-:
