9 Year Old Calculus & Algebra Kid - Indefinite Integration, Polynomial

Examples of finding the indefinite integration of polynomial equations . The polynomial equation in the example has got both integer powers and fractional power terms. This video is from a 9 year old maths enthusiast kid from Auckland, New Zealand.

yeah right. after this kid one equals 0,5 wtf.and this is not algebra

[enthusiastmathkid]

@falloist, I do have other videos. Check them out and you see some algebra. Besides, if one is doing calculus such as differentiation, then he/she simultaneously, doing algebra, because it is impossible to do calculus without solving for solutions (which is algebra). Eg, find the stationary points in the following function:

y = x*exp(-x)

dy/dx = (1 - x)*exp(-x)

Use algebra to solve for value/s of x where dy/dx = 0 :

dy/dx = 0, when x=1

therefore stationary point is: (1,1/e)

ummm.. 1+1=2 ! HAH! I'm SMART TOO!

@42DuckyDuckers, thanks for dropping by. I know how to do differentiation using chain rule, product rule, quotient rule. I also know the differentiation of trigonometry functions, logarithmic functions and exponential functions. I've just learnt those within the last 4 months or so. My video here doing integration was from last year (2010), so obviously you can pretty much work out that I have moved on from differentiation of polynomial and rational functions into more advanced topics.

The theory behind Integral Calculus is quite complex; but the mechanics of solving; say polynomials, can be very arithmetic

@GTPR3 Even though I took calculus in grade 12, and again in college, I still have a bit of a struggle understanding it. Some of the concepts can be very overwhelming.

@ElleonTheNerd A little kid does not have to be a genius to solve that. I am very sure that any average child who knows something about Maths can learn it by simply looking into a book on how those mathematical formulas work step by step, how to deal with all the numbers and the symbols in each step and where each symbol fits. That this topic is from Grade 12 and he was in Grade 4 doesn't mean he isn't mentally capable of understanding it. The only difference is that he is not from Grade 12.

How to fold pizza boxes brought me here.. learning calc from a pre teen tool is why I leave

[setnoset]

very good =), doing calculus at this age

[BorealNeal]

his dad probly taught him all that hahah big deal even i can memorize useless facts

[TheShadowmin0]

@CalebZed unfortunately...

[xTIxLyricz]

I'm 16 and I don't even understand pre cal

[JumboStevo]

@falloist

one of the hardest parts in calculus is the algebra involved in the problems

[paulmccartneyloverrr]

damn I'm 15 and I've never seen anything like that o.o
