  • freakin awesome dude. I just learned this thing today and you make it so much easier.

    Also I got a 100 on my 2nd test on integration!

    Thank you

  • @Billabong024 good job!

  • I like how the advertisements before the videos are for Educator.com

  • @The1ntern well, math videos seem like a good place to advertise math videos : )

  • love your videos (as does everyone in calculus at Brooklyn College)

    I think there's a very small computational error at the end of Geometric Series and the Test for Divergence (part two) -- you say that the second series converges to 2 but I believe it converges to 1/2 (with the sum of the two series converging to 3/2).

  • @jhh1822 ops yes, my mistake!

  • patrick i have been watching ur videos from limits to here. I pretty much learned calculus from your video rather then the text book and prof. Don't like to admitted but i skip my math class all the time cuz your video are much better then my prof's lecture. Your video has been a huge asset in my life! i would like to take this chance to wholeheartedly thank you for everything you have done for us. Please keep what your doing best and hope all your life problems will be solved (if any)!

  • Hey just wanted to let you know that your videos are really helping prepare for my Rutgers Calc II final. Thank you so much for giving your time to help me out.

see all

  • @linocutter same here my final is tomorow and this series driving me crazy

  • ugh.. why didn't I watch these videos earlier in the semester.. !!

    If I did, I would not be stressing so much about the final and I would definitely end up with an A in my Calc II class

  • how can you dislike a fucking good educational video? wtf

  • so finally this series converges na??

  • nvm your right don't lesson to that post i posted.

  • i think you fucked up on this part, dont you have to change you index to be [whatever] ^ n-1

    insted of just n? to match the geometric seriers of starting at 1? ar^n-1?

    now if you started at ZERO you would want [whatever] ^n

    but in this case it starts at 1, so i think this problem is wrong.

    if im wrong its whatever.

  • You helped me pass my Calc II class, you're the man. Why can't all teacher be as good as you? Are you a professor? You should be.

  • I learn more in one of your 5min vids than i do in my 2hr lectures
