This video blew my mind. I took calculus in college 45 years ago, and it nearly killed me. Dropped the class a couple of times before finally squeaking by with a sufficient grade to satisfy my geology degree. I haven't had much need to apply calculus since, but my lack of understanding has always bothered me. Our professors just blew through it so quickly, I never had a clear understanding about why some factors were important and others could be diminished and discarded. Grant's simple explanation of the area under the curve equating to the piRsquared formula actually caused me a physical reaction! Why hadn't that been shown in any of my classes? Now, at age 67, math comes a little harder for me, but I still plan to work through this entire series!

(and of course the prof is too busy to answer while they speed through problem explanations.) amazing supplemental videos here! still holding up 5 years later. it's the high level concepts & gap-fillers tips/hints I knew I needed but couldn't find.

"Math has a tendency to reward you when you respect its symmetries." "Mathematicians don't just care about finding the answer but developing general problem solving tools and techniques." "Transitioning from something approximate to something precise is pretty subtle and it cuts deep to what calculus is all about." As much as I love your clear cut explanations of the topic - these hidden gems of wisdom is what attracts me to the videos you create and helps me build an intuition around the subject which my university professors failed to. This is the sort of insight which is developed when you've spent enough time with the subject and examined it thoroughly from all perspective. I am very grateful of the effort you've put into making these series' and I will be coming back to it from time to time to jog my memory.

This is a fantastic lesson. It is interesting that he starts with areas and integrals. All calculus course start with differentials followed by integration. This approach, with its simple clear explanations building up from basic math gives the student a clear explanation of the processes involved. It really accomplishes its goal of presenting the material so that the student says, "I could have invented Calculus." I have never seen anyone start with the circle and turn the areas into small rectangles before. It is a great starting place, and accomplishes multiple goals. The students learn the thought processes used to develop mathematics in general and Calculus specifically. They gain deeper insights into how the integral is developed and it relation to real world scenarios. And they learn why the formula for the area of circle looks like it does as an added bonus. Understanding why the calculations are done the way are and how they relate to real world problems give the student the deep understanding of Calculus so often lacking in traditional classrooms where the teacher just drones on about equations and applications. I wish math teachers did better jobs of teaching calculus in this manner because it would have made my job of teaching Physics so much easier. As it was, I had to teach Calculus before and alongside Physics. I had a policy of teaching the students how the equations they used were derived and how they related to the real world situations they described. Just like this video, I started with simple concepts and built on them until we arrived at the result we wanted. It was more about the process and understanding of fundamental concepts than the final answer. I have not seen any other episodes, but if they are all like this, I would recommend using this series in place of the distance learning now going on during the Covid-19 crisis. Wayne Adams B.S.

Everything makes so much more sense and I can start to see where it connects. Thank you so much for this video series. I think you just made me love math even more. ❤

I studied up to advanced calculus. But it was never this well explained nor intuitive. My grandchildren will have it easier. Thank you.

A few years ago, I got a bit bored, so tried my hand at deriving the formula for the area of a circle. I got there by slicing it into smaller and smaller pie sections where each pie section approached a right-angled triangle with the short side being some fraction of the circumference, and the long side being the radius (radius and hypotenuse would approach equality as the angle got smaller and smaller too). So the area of the triangles would be 1/2(r.((pi.2r)/x)).x with x being the number of slices. Simplified out it became pi.r^2 :D Just this week I got bored again... and started wondering how pi got calculated - had some fun working that one out!!! Got to pi=(360/x).sin(x/2) with it getting more accurate as x approaches 0 :D Sure, I could've just googled them, but it was so rewarding to have that AHA! moment when I figured it out! I'd encourage everyone to try to figure things out themselves every once in a while, because that is a very special feeling!

You know, it's funny. I'm a math major and I'm already well beyond the calculus subset of math classes for the collegiate level - I felt I had a solid, *solid* grasp on this content. I mostly clicked on this video because 3Blue1Brown made it and his videos are just amazing - my linear algebra professor was terrible at giving us intuition, even if the calculations were rather easy, so his essence of linear algebra playlist actually helped me understand a *lot*. I honestly didn't expect to come here and actually get a key bit of intuition that I've been missing for a little while - well, not so much "missing" as much as I looked it over because my AP Calc class was a little rough on me initially. ^_^; Keep up the good work, 3Blue1Brown. I look forward to your future videos in this playlist and hope they can be even more enlightening for me. :)

Remember the answer gets better and better for smaller choices of dx. So we keep making dx smaller until it bares no significant difference on the answer at the precision we're looking at. While dx is not an infintessimal, it is also not an actual number. It is a concept invented to be the arbitrarily small number represented by a limit approaching zero.

Thank you for making this video. As an AP Calculus teacher I love it! Was looking for something interesting to suggest to my students as we work from home during Coronavirus. Thank you!

I haven't studied traditional math since highschool about 12 years ago, but I've done plenty of programming since. So returning to this format is rather challenging, but I figure this series is a good place to jump back into it. Your explanation of PiR^2 broken into the area of a triangle blew my mind. It was like i suddenly saw the whole thing in 3 dimensions, and finally that formula MAKES SENSE. I'm sure other parts will have their own "Ahah" moments, but I just want to say thanks for all your incredible work.

The first 7 minutes is exactly how integrals should have been taught. 😊 Great job! I thank you for this.

BEST.MATH.TEACHING.EVER! I always had trouble with math because teachers, even the good ones, couldn't find the time or (in case of the bad ones) didn't have the talent, to explain math in a simple, intuitive way. Breaking down the basic assumptions and connecting those ideas to the big picture was something I always missed and was a main obstacle for me. Remembering math as a collection of rules and tricks gave me a weird distrust for the application of math in new problems, it just never felt quite natural (and was also just hard to remember). Your videos made me like math as I never really could before. Keep up the good work. If you ever need help making more vids just ask your fans, I'm sure you have a lot ^^ - and now you have one more

0:58 i felt like that cz i did actually think about finding solutions to stuff like that when i was little. ur videos are awesome. theyre a great help. over here at my place/school, teachers dont teach us anything about the ideation of the concept n hence everything is like my own struggle n i think n think n think to figure stuff out n then at the end of the day unless u can verify the kind of tricky bits of those concepts from someone it kind of takes a toil thinking how u'd have to keep going likt this n then theres the fear that u might be thinking too less or somehow missing something in thinking about it how the great men that helped humanity with their hard work did. ur videos are just what i need. it helps me verify my intuitions n concepts derived from it. just perfect. i cant express my gratitude good enough. thank you so much for helping mathematical intuition sense survive by letting newbies know about stuff properly. common sense n critical thinking is becoming less n less common especially when it comes ot learning concepts of maths and science. everyone jsut wants to memorise which is very sad. everyone should think about solving a problem, maths or otherwise, on their own before looking at established ideas for its but like memorising. i would suggest that u mention that in a video to the young audience that they think about a concepts say, calculus or trig or vector spaces all by themselves for a week before watching your videos. once again, thank you so damn much!

Just found out what I had been missing on. Didn't quite grasp the whole video at once but I understood a whole lot more than what I had been taught which were some formulas and a lousy explanation. Saying this was helpful and you're doing a great job would be a massive understatement. Love the video. ❤🔥

I study Civil Engineering. Today I was brainlessly doing homework. Determining the center of mass of a circle section. So I had to get the mass first. Without really thinking about it I used polar coordinate double integration on it and ended at R^2*alpha... Then noticed...Wait...that looks familiar... So I plugged in pi for alpha and realized that thats what it would look like if it reached all the way around and....wait...thats the formula for a circle Suddenly i had an understanding of what the fuck I was doing all the time and all clattered pieces that were just formulas in my mind came together in a beautiful moment where I suddenly had determined the size of a circle and actually understood why Thats the beauty of Maths. Its so much fun when you understand what youre doing

@@harsharya545 You are not wrong in the sense that for relatively "flat" graphs (equations with slow change like (x+a)) the error for this approximation is smaller than for equations with rapid change (like exponential functions, b^2x). But as dx gets smaller, this becomes more or less irrelevant since when dx aproaches zero, soo does the actual change and thus the error also approaches zero, which means a better aproximation. The fact that the error is larger for more steep graphs can thus be viewed as irrelevant for the purposes of what is discussed in this video. Not sure if this was the kind of answer you were looking for :/

Bro left me hanging at the end, left me wondering what was the formula for finding the area under that parabola. Truly a great teacher, he sparked something in me that motivates me to ask more questions about calculus and be curious. Thank you so much

This was actually really cool...Never thought of the area of a circle like that, but it really clicks. I actually heard something interesting from my Calculus teacher earlier this month. She said "Mathematics is like world building, with the equations as the tools you use." It's honestly made math seem far more interesting to me now, and this is helping me to understand what she means. In a way, it is exactly like world building.

Putting this in the area for a trapezoid: 1/2(a+b)*h 1/2(2pi*r+2pi*(r-dx))*dx where dx -> 0 1/2(2pi*r+2pi*r)*dx 1/2(4pi*r)*dx 2pi*r*dx So you'd game the same answer.

Oh my flippin' god, not gonna lie, at first, I understand NOTHING, maybe because in our country, even some of our teachers do not understand calculus, and often they just tell us to take notes of definition, remember the formula, and solve problems(and I'm somewhat used to that).
