    About remembering what we studies years ago. One of my professors, that eventually became a really close friend after my PhD, once told me that what we really know is what we remember once we forget. It's a thought that I still keep in mind after so long

    Great talk, and thanks for the series. When learning the chain rule, the thing that tripped me up was that the x in f(x) and in g(x) are different x's. Using f(y) or f(u) makes the substitution much easier since there's no confusion between the x you are substituting in and the x you are substituting for. Or rather, the substitution can be accomplished syntactically, without requiring semantics about the particular x. This also makes checking your work much easier.

    Thanks dude... The explicit breakdown of the rules are doing it for me... I did calculus 1 and 2 but never fully understood (or had a memorable method) for chain rule... I came up with something from your video that now I'll never forget... I just needed someone to jumpstart the process for me and this video has done that... excited about the other videos in the playlist!

    Very thanks... Homeworks: 1- In time 22:54: Drive the chain rule relationship (the derivative of f(g(x))) by using the definition of the derivative of a function f(x) (d/dx f(x) = lim (f(x+dx)-f(x))/dx, as dx->0), and take out why it would actually give you this expression: d/dx (f(g(x)) = f'(g(x)) * g'(x) ? Hint: you can google "chain rule", and take some ideas from Wikipedia...

    All of your videos are awesome. Just think there is an error when stating the chain rule. In 22:21, that f'(g(x)) you later write it as df/dx(g(x)), but is the derivatige with respect to that inner function. Making u=g(x), we have f'(u)u'(x)=df/du * du/dx

    @steve brunton Derivative of a complex polynomial generated yet another polynomial of 1 degree less than the original polynomial. I understand that when one point is inserted into derivative of a polynomial, it will output one single value which would be the slope of original polynomial at that concerned point. My point is why derivative of a complex higher order polynomial outputs another polynomial at first place and what is its meaning graphically ? Thanks

    To use Jupyter you need to have Python installed on your pc. If you don't have Python installed yet, I'd recommend downloading Anaconda Distribution. This has a package manager, that has a lot of usefull packages (including Jupyter) for Python already pre-installed.

    Something that I have never understood. If we need a later time to get the speed from position, then it means that we can never have simultaneity or coincidence between position and speed. Position is always known before speed. There is a delay between position and speed. Is it the reason why in quantum mechanics, we can can not perfectly know both the position and the speed ?

    Speed is derived from position. So, not sure what you mean by "simultaneity between speed n position". QM is probabilistic in nature. So you can determine the likelihood position of a particle.

So it's not complicated to understand that speed (or velocity) can not be known at the same time as position. When you know P1, position at moment 1, you don't know yet the velocity.

You have to suppose that differentiation is out of the world. Leibniz used the letter "d" to indicate that it's only true out of the physical world, in the infinitesimal world.
