You were the best math professor I ever had.

Love your explanation. This is gold for future mathematicians.

Thank you! I am self-studying and the precalculus textbook I am using gave one example. That one example was one I have seen before in Algebra textbooks and was very simple. I got to the exercises for the modeling section and found I was being thrown to the wolves. None of the exercises were as simple as the one example given. This video got me through the time distance problems in the modeling exercises.

This hero should teach people how to teach.

This was in my textbook and i was stuck on how to get through this. With limited tutoring available, this video was extremely helpful. Thank you!

Great pacing and explanations.

Thanks so much professor Leonard

Thank you for an explanation that is easy to understand!

Excellent presentation!

Love your teaching style Professor Leonard!

Math is magic. You're a wizard. I'm a wizard now too.

The only thing I would suggest to add to this, would be to convert the hrs into minutes. Nobody says, "I ran for .6 hrs". They would say, "I ran for 36 minutes." The answers should be simplified to it's most practical form in order to make the user relate to the information better.

thanks for saving me tears

Awesome video

Thanks for doing this prof! Have you ever considered doing a series on Discrete Math?

Thank you ..superman .....

Question: can you apply this to a business when it comes to projecting how long it would take to reach a certain amount of sales???... or apply this to any goal someone is trying to reach?? Just curious?

in general math is applicable everywhere..so yes

😂 @13:54 One can't help but laugh if you've ever gotten partial or no-points for that type thing.

How do you explain why you used the first column to solve for "t" and not the last column? I can see a student looking at the data in the last column and thinking that it would be just as easy to solve for "t" using that information.

Just a random question: how much do you bench? Your arms are huge!

You can use algebra to find another formula for percent change: from (x-y)/y to x/y - 1 which is an easier formula to use in business conversations. The more difficult application is to determine when to use relative vs absolute change. Eg if your share of budget for gas spend is 50% this month vs 25% last month, what is more informative? That your share of gas spend went up 25pts or went up 100%?

Also, when to use absolute values for calculating percent error?

I am from India 🇮🇳 u are too slow in math if u then replying me

I am from India 🇮🇳🇮🇳 but I studying by you becouse your method is too egey

Tables are THE unifying tool for word problems! I like to put double strokes into the columns where addition happens. See here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/pmZ_07hrmsuWhZM.html

If I had a hot teacher like you I’d never learn anything 😂

Nobody ask why can’t add the rate in that table?

Too Talkative. Better to get to the point with less superfluous wording.

He wants his students to actually understand why they're doing what they're doing, not just how to plug numbers into a formula. Sure, it kinda drags if you already understand what he's talking about, but if this is new to you then it's a great introduction to the concept.
