This method of learning is so much better than sitting in a live class. It's cheaper, not restricted to a specific time, do not have to commute, can pause & rewind. Additionally your teaching style is great, I really appreciate these videos.
Holy Moly! Im 53 with a PhD and never really learned this the right way. I wish I had you as my high school teacher. It makes so much sense. Thanks for your dedication!
I liked the class-room experience of your videos with the students in the background, but this new style to me is way better! also, about to purchase a decal to support, I already passed pre-calculus but watching these videos I'm actually learning & understanding why these things are being done! thanks for everything.
Somehow I couldn't grasp the idea of finding domain and range and looking at a piecewise graph and making a formula for it. Im watching this to review before my exams and it was very helpful, thank you!

So here I am, 12/15. I’m catching up. I just wanted to let you know that I enjoy this style of videos where you are talking to the camera instead of the actual students like you did with the calculus playlist. Also, you look a lot like Patrick Wilson. I actually Wikipedia-ed him to see if he has a brother who is a math professor! 😂
Hi! I'm glad you like the new style of video. I wasn't so sure in the beginning, but I rather like it now. Seems less distracting for the viewer. Good luck!
My son is really struggling with this, so I watched you to help him out. He has a test today and I think this helped me help him. He's in 8th grade by the way!!!
Professor Leonard, thank you for a clear explanation on how to Graph Piecewise Functions in Precalculus and College Algebra. College students should really appreciate this style of teaching because the teaching styles are all different everywhere.
Thank you professor leonard, thank you for everything you have done for us, you are the greates math teacher I have every gotten a chance to study from 🤗🤗
kudos to you for putting in so much hard work and effort to teach strangers on youtube, though I wonder why your channel doesn' t come further up in the search fro calculus, since these are pretty exhaustive series. I needn't look anywhere else for these topics, just completing your series is enough to give me a good understanding. thanks again !!
FOR THE LOVE OF JESUS CHRIST, PLEASE MAKE A SERIES OF TUTORIALS ON LINEAR ALGEBRA. I’M SUFFERING OVER HERE. PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF HUMANITY DO A SERIES ON LINEAR ALGEBRA. THE WORLD WILL THANK YOU FOR THAT.
Only thing I didnt understand is why the slope was over 1: 2x over 1; 3x-2 over 1;-2x-3 over 1. Why is that the slope...why is it over 1. Why is that the slope if. I understand slope is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)....but why is it only the first x value and why over 1?
I think this is from equation of line, y = mx + c, so in this case, m=3. Now, slope is rise over run, i.e. m=rise/run, where rise=y2-y1 & run=x2-x1. We already have m=3 which is nothing but m=3/1, so our rise=3 and run=1, which essentially means that you'll move 3 units up on the y-axis and 1 unit right on x-axis.
I didn't understand the last part. Why x+3 didn't use slope? I think (-4,-1) have to go down for -1 and goes right for 1. In other straight line , it used like that. But why not in x+3? Please explain it for me!!!
I don't see any problems to add points on points, just make it a bit bigger circles, in reality you can put how many lines you want one on another no ......??, just a bigger circle for each 🤔🤔 (😪)
think of a function as an mechanical machine (picture something similar to whats inside a clock) now all parts are fixed and they follow a certain pattern every time. Thus, when you plug in a certain number it should only give you one output and not multiple as all the mechanics inside the function are fixed and does not change
Think of a calculator. You input 3+5, how many outputs does it give you? Just one, 8. How many inputs can you plug in to get 8? You can plug in many inputs to get 8.

This man really out here giving back to us kiddos. Thank you, Professor Leonard! Please never stop!

Same! I’m just watching to see concepts my school brushed over before I start my stem major in a couple of months.

I got here by searching "buff math teacher" out of curiosity as all the math people at my uni are out of shape or just skinny
I really thought you were joking, oh my god.
words cannot describe how much this video helped me
Really needed this thank you so much
Loving these videos man! Please never stop uploading these
Such a thorough yet simple explanation. Thank you again for all these videos. Such a great way to learn
My son is really struggling with this, so I watched you to help him out. He has a test today and I think this helped me help him. He's in 8th grade by the way!!!
damn youre son is doing pre calc in 8th grade hell yea good for him
Professor Leonard, thank you for a clear explanation on how to Graph Piecewise Functions in Precalculus and College Algebra. College students should really appreciate this style of teaching because the teaching styles are all different everywhere.
Thank you so much! I have an exam coming up and honestly I feel like my professor speaks a different language. This helped me understand so much more.
This man is really good. He has made it more easier to understand
Not all heroes wear capes!
Great class! Cant believe how cool math is.
This math teacher is so handsome 🥺
Never seen it taught with input output values but that was great. Thank you.
omg I wish this guy was my professor, he makes these so easy. Thank you so much
Thanks professor leonard for teaching me mathematics in such a great way keep on making awsome mathematics playlists you're a global teacher.
This is my professor. Thank you, sir.
Professor Leonard aka The goat
This lesson was really helpful 😮. I’ve been struggling with piecewise functions. Thank you Professor 🙏
Thanks for your work and refreshed memory
I'm going to try and watch all the way up to video 20 this week. Thankyou professor for all of the great content. I am doing a lot better in math.
Thank you professor leonard, thank you for everything you have done for us, you are the greates math teacher I have every gotten a chance to study from 🤗🤗
Excellent Explanation, Thank you so so much
These videos are awesome man. Really helping me out rn. What is that shirt you're wearing? I'm trying to get one too
Love the videos! thank you so much.
İ am from turkey but i swear i just understand from you, god bless you

Bravo Professor! Thank you so much!!
Really good,,,keep on going professor, I understood smth
FOR THE LOVE OF JESUS CHRIST, PLEASE MAKE A SERIES OF TUTORIALS ON LINEAR ALGEBRA. I’M SUFFERING OVER HERE. PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF HUMANITY DO A SERIES ON LINEAR ALGEBRA. THE WORLD WILL THANK YOU FOR THAT.
Day 1 of calc 1 online and this video just gave me the confidence to not drop it. Thank you, Superhero Leonard.
Thank you very much professor
i love you professor leonard
I HOPE GOOD THINGS HAPPEN IN YOUR LIFE!!
Hi Sir. Please can you make a video on Mathematical induction? Thank you very much.
Your fan from India
22:25 is this x3. And 3x -2 function continuous?
You are the superman the GOAT
Only thing I didnt understand is why the slope was over 1: 2x over 1; 3x-2 over 1;-2x-3 over 1. Why is that the slope...why is it over 1. Why is that the slope if. I understand slope is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)....but why is it only the first x value and why over 1?
I think this is from equation of line, y = mx + c, so in this case, m=3.
Now, slope is rise over run, i.e. m=rise/run, where rise=y2-y1 & run=x2-x1.
We already have m=3 which is nothing but m=3/1, so our rise=3 and run=1, which essentially means that you'll move 3 units up on the y-axis and 1 unit right on x-axis.
How do you know what the domains are? I'm confused. 8:43 why is the domain of f(x)= x2 x>0?
u r a hero
sir for -2x-3 apart from 0 can we plug in any other scalar like 1 or 2 for 38:00
and you didn't find the slope for that function too can i know why?
@@TH-camtrash-w8iWe don't need to find the slope, because the equation for each curve or line is right there where you can see.
Are the domains for piece-wise functions given to you on a math problem or are we suppose to memorize them? x
8:32
always given to you
I didn't understand the last part. Why x+3 didn't use slope? I think (-4,-1) have to go down for -1 and goes right for 1. In other straight line , it used like that. But why not in x+3? Please explain it for me!!!
I still don't understand the interval domain, I mean how do you calculate three over one then in the second function two over one. Pls help!
With the dotted line we could say that VISUALLY the f(x) axis has shifted, am I right?
i love you mr ripped
Can anyone recommend what kinds of texts book I can study with this precalculus lecture?
Hey! Love the lectures. Are you using any specific book for the course? if yes, can anyone let me know what book it is? thanks!
8:47 : did he really just ask his mom to "pause right here" ?
How do we know what to plug in?
Why did you not graph f(x)=2 ; x=0 ? Good video,,,,Thanks.
I'm a junior in highschool I've taken 2 weeks to try and figure this out and I can not get it
i dont get it why you choose (0,0),(1,1),(-1,-1) to find the graph of x^3 function i really dont get it could you answer for me...?????
Because the graph x^3 has those points, the cubic function.Plz review the topic of graphing function; it'll be helpful.
❤From India 🇮🇳
Please can you say Piecewise affine function instead of piecewise function?
Cheers!
are you related to Henry Cavill?
"eenie meenie miney no" haha no don't do that
I don't see any problems to add points on points, just make it a bit bigger circles, in reality you can put how many lines you want one on another no ......??, just a bigger circle for each 🤔🤔 (😪)
Can some one clarify why cant 1 input have multiple outputs, Whats the issue here?
think of a function as an mechanical machine (picture something similar to whats inside a clock) now all parts are fixed and they follow a certain pattern every time. Thus, when you plug in a certain number it should only give you one output and not multiple as all the mechanics inside the function are fixed and does not change

oh hello sir
Why he lowkey....
hi
يالبيه اركز على الشرح او عليه
graphing these are bitch. so much to know. ugh :-(
Love your math lessons, but this was too obvious to have spent 45 minutes. 10 minutes would have sufficed., imo. Really do appreciate these, though!
