Hi, I’m Krista! I make math courses to keep you from banging your head against the wall. ;)
Math class was always so frustrating for me. I’d go to a class, spend hours on homework, and three days later have an “Ah-ha!” moment about how the problems worked that could have slashed my homework time in half. I’d think, “WHY didn’t my teacher just tell me this in the first place?!”
So I started tutoring to keep other people out of the same aggravating, time-sucking cycle. Since then, I’ve recorded tons of videos and written out cheat-sheet style notes and formula sheets to help every math student-from basic middle school classes to advanced college calculus-figure out what’s going on, understand the important concepts, and pass their classes, once and for all.

College is very quickly turning into a place that tells me what I need to learn as opposed to actually teaching it to me. These videos are life savers.

You just explained such a complicated thing so simply!!! I wish all professors could explain like this. Life could be so easy!!
This question is straight out of my textbook! I was stuck on the last part and this video helped so much :D

Thanks for this lesson, it was of great help! One thing I'm still struggling with, though, is how to evaluate a critical point if the quadratic form is equal to zero. I know you're supposed to evaluate the infinitesimal increments of the function at those points, but it's usually very briefly covered, if at all, so any help on that subject would be great!
Oh my god thank you!!! I have been trying to make sense of this for a while now and I have a test in it tomorrow. I'm currently dealign with an online Calc 3 class and its terrible, there is no professor to explain concepts. This was a life saver!!

amazing... learned more in 10 min from her than 6 hours in my calc 3 course.
I've already covered this and am now practicing it. I really like the way you set everything out, because it made it much easier to navigate to the values you need when you needed them. For instance I like how you wrote out the first and second and mixed derivatives with their corresponding values at (a,b) before using the matrix method for finding 'D', so you just had to plop the values into the matrix. And then when you needed to check the specific nature of a stationary point you just went back to the values attributed to those points derived from the first order derivative. It might be second nature to you, but my process can get into such a mess and I sometimes get confused about where to look for the required values. Your process was so easy to navigate and that's what I got from your video most of all.

I'm so glad it helped! Sometimes in math the hardest part is just staying organized and not losing your place in the problem. So any time you can set up your formulas ahead of time, like you said, I think it can be a big help to make sure you stay on track! :D
Wonderful lesson, would give anything to be back in live classrooms again but I'll gladly take this instead, thank you for the explanation!
I was worried you were one of those tutorial videos that have a huge distracting section on the screen reserved for you face or other stuff and i'm glad this is a khan academy (in some ways even better) quality tutorial. Thank you, it's really hard to find people like you.

Thank you! Nice explanation, but shouldn't we write y in front of x in the denominator of the notation for the mixed derivative, if we want to evaluate the partial derivative of x first then y? (can be expressed as fxy as well)...

First we have to make sure the value of D is greater than 0. If D is less than 0, then it is a saddle point which is neither a max nor a min. Again, D=f_xx*f_yy - (f_xy)^2
Thank you for this! You are AMAZING.
Is it necessary to show that the second order partial derivatives are continuous in some disc centred at the critical point ? I have seen it in the original theorem which you have applied here.
Its amazing...!!!! very well explained
how we got second partial derivatives of x is positive but for y is negative....for instance using your example what we got -48,is it still minimum point?
Hello Krista Ma'am, when you solved the equation for stationary/critical points. Why did you neglect y= -1?

sooo... if i get this correctly, whenever our value is LESS than 0 we can draw the conculsion that it's a saddle point BUT whenever we get something greater than zero, we have to check by inspection?
