And those he had trouble with he re-run and re-run until he grasped it. And I watched with him !! I am 70 and he is 36 and working day job. After this latest clip he went to local college and picked up programs for older students. And that is what you stimulated. Thank you.

    When I took first year calculus the prof. came out and just started writing formulas on the board and talking about limits to infinity. I had to no idea why I was doing anything I just followed the rules. I managed to scrape through derivatives but integration did not well so I took the full course again the next year. This time the prof was like Eddie Woo. She explained everything in terms of physics and the "why" of each exercise. The second time I got an A in the course and I really loved it. I am now a science teacher and this experience has always informed my teaching.

      Learning already discovered Math theorems and applying them is perhaps is the easiest thing. Just straight forward logic almost all the times. No need of common sense also. There's no mind bending stuff in it. But discovering theorems is mind bending.

    0:56 calculus is an abbreviation for infinitesimal calculus
    1:50 calculus is Latin for small pebble, what Ancient Romans used to calculate (abacus), calc, chalk; calculus on teeth is bad
    5:40 it was developed independently in two countries by two different people at the same time
    11:50 tangible - you can touch it ; tangent - just touches
    Other notes: Calculus, known in its early history as infinitesimal calculus, is a mathematical discipline focused on limits, continuity(/functions?), derivatives, integrals, and infinite series. Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz independently developed the theory of infinitesimal calculus in the later 17th century.
    the branch of mathematics that deals with the finding and properties of derivatives and integrals of functions, by methods originally based on the summation of infinitesimal differences. The two main types are differential calculus and integral calculus.
    The Euler equations, named after Leonhard Euler, were originally presented in 1755 and later published in 1757. These equations are closely linked with another of the most difficult Calculus problems, the Navier-Stokes equations, which comes in at #1 on this list.
