Professor Edward Burger Rocks!!! These videos helped me pass Algebra!!!

@AshDaMash There are hundreds of videos pertaining to all areas of math if you follow the link under the video! Start learning today! (or take a few days off and relax)

i only needed to know how to prove k+1 and it stopped right there. This is my last semester in maths C so i dont wanna buy anyvids :/

@onewingedangelhli not really, you can start for any value of n that you want, but the proof would apply only from that value onwards. i agree with the previous complaint, when teaching various individuals cases that a formula works (or statement is true) should be shown. so i would show both cases n=1 and n=2, perhaps even n=3, then do the induction. i would explain that only n=1 is truly required for the "complete" proof of induction, and further that you could start at any value blah blah

@KallMeKris2 For proving by induction, you must start with n=1 unless stated otherwise.

i really wish you had not have done that 1st example using 1...if you would've started with the 2 i would have at least picked on it...1 is way to basic, it almost seems like math doesn't even apply to the #1 like it does any other number...you seem like a good teacher but the example using 1 didn't help me

Hi, and thanks for teaching, but....

Each video has the same excercise, ... don't U have another one.

I'm actually working in one harder that is driving me out of my ming, I've been working on it by 4 days, without success.

So... Do you have harder examples?

Thanks.
