  • Why is the derivative 1/a x^a not x^a-1 ?

  • @williamCbriand Are you referring to the derivative of 1/2 x^2 at about 6:20? If not, give me a time in the video that you're referring to.

  • @mathgeek420 Thanks!

    Why in the world would you want a book on combinatorics?

  • what textbooks do you recommend for partial differential equations. Or what textbooks do you own .

  • @phazon100 Roughly in order of increasing "difficulty":

    1. Partial Differential Equations for Scientists and Engineers by Stanley Farlow

    2. Applied Partial Differential Equations by Richard Haberman

    3. Notes here: math (dot) umn (dot) edu/~olver/pdn.html (fix the url obviously)

    4. Partial Differential Equations: An Introduction by Walter Strauss

    If you are just getting started, pick up Farlow. It's cheap and broken up into bite sized pieces, just make sure to do the exercises....

  • I enjoy your presentation and you break down complex subjects in an easy to follow language. You sound like a really nice chap.

  • Best intro to PDE's I've seen....thanks callmejimmy. I get them mathematically, it would be nice if there was more material on their practical applications though eg. for the heat equation.

  • Could you make vidoes about fourier series please, would be awsome:)

  • Fantastic, thank you!

  • Thanks . nice video

  • This is really great, thanks for the explanation!

  • Good teaching with good explanation.

  • Thank you!

  • Hi :) I was wondering, how do you solve Uxx = Utt ? It's very confusing
