INTRODUCTION:
http://www.chycho.com/?q=Introduction_Instructions

During the last few years the education systems in Canada and the United States has been eroding. Students have been crammed into larger class sizes while the quality of teaching has deteriorated, in large part due to a lack of funding from local and federal governments.

John Ralston Saul, one of Canada's most celebrated authors and essayist, has warned us that "Canada's democracy... is eroding with every dime deducted from education budgets."

I have stated previously that I believe "as a collective we must understand that democracy can only exist in a society with an educated populace, and the right for self-governance can only be obtained through knowledge." I also believe that as long as the Internet remains Neutral, we, as a global community, can make a difference. We can fill the gap left behind by our governments and be proactive in educating our children

Sharing our communal experiences and knowledge is the essence of the Internet and chycho.com is proud to be a part of this movement. The information contained and conveyed through this medium is what will shape our future, and this site was created to represent a unique personal perspective and to contribute in bringing about positive changes.

As a result I have decide to produce instructional math videos to help those that want to improve their abilities in communicating in the language of mathematics. The videos are available on Chycho TV Located in the top right corner of http://www.chycho.com. Even though these videos are geared towards high school students, they will also help those in elementary school and those that are struggling with certain college and university courses.

The format of the videos is as follows: Lessons are in large part self contained and most have exercises which should be completed before proceeding to the next lesson. To help people understand a specific topic I have included answers to the exercises.

During the next few weeks and months, possibly years, I hope to be able to provide a vast library of resources for those that wish to finally understand the language of mathematics.

If there are certain areas that you are having problems with or wish me to discuss further then please send me a message or post a comment at my website. Even though I can not guarantee that I will be able to properly represent a topic I will try my best to produce a lesson if there is strong enough demand for a specific topic.

I hope these videos will help people learn how to communicate in the language that we have chosen to understand the world around us in a scientific manner, in the language of mathematics.

Best

Your videos are GREAT! can you include videos on simplifying exponential expressions and radical expressions? TYTYTY Keep it going...Math Power!

[chychochycho]

Exponents and radicals are really important so I did a whole series on it. Look for Series II, videos #38 to #56-ish.

ps. glad you like the vids... Math Power all the way :)

[bharani123456]

Thanks a lot, Could you please consider taking integration / differential equation in new video.Your are really good teacher :)

Have a great day :)

[chychochycho]

I do plan on doing calculus but it won't be for quite some time. I still have to cover a lot of other topics before getting to integration and differential equations. Sorry.

[FANelvis11]

@chycho  were can I find the exercise questions?

[chychochycho]

Hi FANelvis11, unfortunately, my site was hacked at the end of 2009 and the exercises and solution were lost, along with much more. At some point in the future i will be dealing with this but it won't be for a while yet. Sorry :(

[chychochycho]

i plan on doing a quick intro to limits and at least one video of derivatives, i don't think i will get to integrals with this set though.

just a side note, i'm running a little late with my shooting schedule so it will still be a few weeks.

[lllmmn]

Hi this Naser from copenhagen i would like to say thanks for great  math videos you are agreat man can you uplod som videos about limet, differential and integeral thanks alots

[party12345]

Can you please go through statistics? In particular the empirical evidence behind the 'bell-curve' [ Gaussian distribution ] and if possible a comment on the works of Richard Herrnstein and Murray.

[77kevla]

if you were my teacher in school i would of listened.
