  • I wanted to thank you on behalf of all the distressed engineers out there haha

    I know it must take a lot of time to do all these videos but they are really helpful so thank you for all the hard work!

  • @pty1717 no problemo. go forth, and build things that will not collapse!!

  • This is the only thing I could find on the internet that was helpful at all!

  • @BigJonBone one lonely video amongst the sea of crud that is the internets : )

  • Wow, this is great! Thank you! Exams are drawing closer, and I still didn't know this stuff (my textbook's a bit messy when it comes to centroids), but now it's all clear :D

  • glad it makes sense now!

    norway!!!! home of the great Magnus Carlsen!!

  • Behold! The internet math God! patrickJMT !!!! All shall tremble beneath him!!

  • Thank you so much

    

  • @NiicckkM yes

  • Due to the symmetry, the centroid should be at (0,4) but it's useful to use the method in order to practise the maths to see the method in action and for more complicated functions of course.

  • video served as a great review for finals. thanks so much!

  • Does the trick at 3:31 only work when the area is symmetric?

  • Ummm. Can u really balance a record on a pencil? Please tell me how it can be done. :)

    Oh and thanks for the free University level education that you give us all.

  • Please excuse my language, but you're a fucking boss!!!

  • do you have examples on 2d/3d examples?? With double integrals? Or I didn't look hard enough...

  • I love this man! He makes it so simple!
