Algebra 2 - Conic Sections - Ellipses

[Whatyousayn]

AH TY TY my test is tomorrow and this will help me explain because my teacher stinks...

[lookitsjulie]

Ahh thankss!

[rhyland214]

now i will write on the board

[dallascowboysfans]

is that a green day shirt? you're way cool. (:

[TheSheZombie]

@dallascowboysfans lol that's what i said when i saw it he's like the BEST !

[OhNoesItsSarah]

Annnnnnd 2 minutes in... He writes the problem on the board. Nice roller coaster story though. :)

[katrayher]

Thanks a bunch! i finally get it. ^______^

[domcubed]

thank you so much! This helped me a ton, and that roller coaster story provided some much needed comic relief before my final tomorrow too!

LOVELY VIDEO. It took Kepler EIGHT YEARS of meticulous calculations to prove that Mars moved in an ellipse. He had to throw out the perfect circle which religious dogma insisted must be the shape of orbits. Respectfully if humorously, I propose that KEPPLE be given the meaning "to calculate precisely and CHECK YOUR WORK!" Kepler wrote his own epitaph (in part): "Mensus eram coelos, nunc terrae metior umbras . . ." I measured the heavens, now I measure the shadows. KEPPLE away!

[Abbygale536]

focii lol :)

[ed70zorro]

Have you ever thought of teaching the math for the SAT?..SAT prep math lol =)

[DarrenPascua]

OH. MY. GOD. Thank You.

[mex1canboy02]

this really helped me a lot thanks. My teacher did this section really fast and while i was talking notes he would explain it and i wouldn't understand it and this is great it really helped. THANKS!!!

[powxpurplexx]

Fail looking oval

[randomhaterr]

I watched the whole video and I just want to say, THANK YOU. You explain the lessons in such a fun, easy YET effective way. I wish you were my Math teacher. Thank you for taking the time to upload this and your other videos. YAY, MATH!

[grig24x]

@bighuts4everhacks big up bro my mom was mad at me for watching comedy and I had hard time explaining that it was a math teacher goofing off.

[numbaoneballah]

@bighuts4everhacks

Are you kidding me?! His teaching is helping me out sooo much. And hey guess what?! If you don't care about what he did in eighth grade, THEN YOU CAN FUCKING STOP WATCHING THE VIDEO. Maybe if you just pay attention in your jr high or high school class then you wouldn't need tutoring you fucking retard. Go to fucking sylvan or something you asshole. And your telling him he needs a job? I guarantee he makes more money that you. You're just a shit talking kid so fuck off.

Oh

[DBMamba]

I love you u need to do more vids!!!

[darkflamehaze666]

It's not an oval. It looks like a nut. :D

[Rotorzilla]

man I wish my math teacher was could break it down like you do. where is the next part. Ellipses are exciting!!

[kunkunkunkun1]

u are my idol:)))))

[scottie13pippen]

omg.. i would kill to have this guy as my calc teacher. :-/

[hardcorepartymore55]

hay man great vids i would like to tell you that your full vids on google are no longer loading just lettting you know if u wanted to fix them there great help thank you

[EXALTINGJC119]

[gell320]

this is so helpful! thank you so much!

[gell320]

"a football!" lol hahaha!

[Adelbert1309]

is this a math class for Astronomy?

[zste241]

good stuff!! thank you so much for doing these videos. HELPS a lot, and its fun to watch, unlike MANY other videos. x

[yaymath]

@zste241 Thank you so much!! It's great to hear people enjoying math while they're learning. YayMath!!

[SuperNkateko]

you are the best,i like the way you explain,slow and nice

[tomasnog09]

hum... álgebra coisa boa, hein?

mas não sinto saudades nenhuma!!!

[TheRealTingAling]

haha that's a thunder trucks shirt. do you skate? :O

[AdvantageKids]

Lots of fun

[Noir840]

He's way better than my math teacher. All my math teacher does is write on the board and stand DIRECTLY in front of me blocking the board with his huge belly =_=

[FailLikeAChamp]

i wish my math class was this fun :)

[dareitis09]

hes hot!

[hibrandonhi]

as childish as your class and your vids may be, they do help alot.

[i5Alex]

If my teacher was like that... bah what am i saying...

[Waterpoloman33]

wow! I wish my teacher was this good. Basically gave me a good understanding in 6 minutes whereas my teacher could not in two hours...seriously why do some teachers have to make it harder than it actually is. Thanks, I appreciate the video.

[casplash4]

dude you help me so much, thank you !! lol && i rly thought you were talking at first but you were ad libbing

[SPS148669]

I wished my school was like that school when I was younger because my school sucked, (When 1 student horsed around the entire class would get detention time.)

[TheOfficialAsara]

Thank you thank you thank you! After surfing the web for almost an hour, I finally understand ellipses because of this video!

[allen14n]

Thank you!

[Guujoco]

Thanks to you...ur math videos helped me alot

[curt1628]

Best math teacher I've ever seen! Wish I could take his class

[1rizvi]

cooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­l

[maijib2009]

Thanks for the lesson, but I never never understand why people get an oval shape or curve line, it should be a DIAMOND shape. And the parabola too. if I draw a line point to point I only get a V shape. To get a smooth curve shape I must make a 1,000 points for my line connection. Anybody understands me???

Thanks

[SpiritConspiracy]

@maijib2009 ..not really -_-*

[ihatedu]

i wish my math teacher was like u <=/

[JennyPaz07]

@ihatedu mine is gay :/

[ErickCastrotv]

Yeah my teacher is 75 years old, blind in one eye, deaf in the other oh and i forgot to say hes dyslexic. :P

[2StepMurder]

deaf in the other eye?

Ok.

[ErickCastrotv]

seriously, don't be a smart ass. you know what I meant.

[zishhyles09]

if all the math teachers are like this..i'll be learnin so much

[khubization]

i understand this but i dont know how to find the focii and center

[kampungFC]

how to answer the question if its given the vertex and focus point?

[padresown]

if all the teachers were like this i would love to go to school..

[Blueknightex]

Wow even your students in the video are teaching me maths too =) Good question guys! Lol

[chico4ever0013]

Thank you so much! you helped me with my summer packet

[chocolatbuny]

Thanks this helped a lot plus I loved your rollercoaster story... it was funny....... ^_^

[yaymath]

Thanks! Yeah, it was a dooz lol

-- Robert

[50RpJ]

maybe if he shows how to get the ellipse formula, it would make a bit more sense for people to understand and do the problems-otherwise, pretty good

[mokvid]

sry, i take that back, i watched the full video and you are great

[mokvid]

come on be a little serious and to the point if u wanna be a good teacher! sry but i dont want to be entertained, i want to learn

[lalaworld186]

our teacher kinda screwed us up w/ ellipses. but im gettin it now lol

[2realmadrid3]

i'm supposed to take this next year but i need to learn it now for a university acceptance exam (i'm getting in early).

[jmareo23]

i wish my teachers wer like this guy

[LALC]

wayyyyyyy bettter then my old math teachers, wish i had found this sooner

[staroflint]

Much better than my teacherr!

[BbOiMyStErIoUs]

if i want to watch more, i have to go to that website??, why not just kick me in the balls??

[rootedinfaith3]

And nocci is ITALIAN, not Japanese lol.

[xoxo2121xoxo21]

[SLagerZahne]

"Yay, that's just fun"

[lowrider162]
