    Dr. Strang's lecture style is among the most delightful I've ever encountered, and as others have commented, his knowledge of subject and student is unsurpassed. Thanks for taking the 'hard' away from learning this most useful tool.

    I need to send MIT OCW some money because even though I studied this stuff for more than 5 years, I am still learning something new or from a different perspective, thanks to Prof. Strang! I love calculus, and listening to the professor, is like listening to a fascinating story or piece of literature.

    Thank you so much Professor Strang for sharing your lectures and knowledge. I have been struggling with the chain rule but after watching this video I have finally finished my homework with a clear understanding of each problem. Your explanation of Leibniz notation is wonderful too. You are a fabulous teacher and I look forward to watching your other videos to supplement my instructor's lectures.

      Funny! I remember walking into the first lecture of my Differential Equations class...first it was in a large lecture hall, second it was taught by a TA with a VERY strong accent. After that first lecture I switched to another class...which turned out to be small (10-12 students) and taught by a full professor. Best decision ever...Diff Eq was difficult enough!

    I was surprisingly entertained for the first time watching this calc video...not even professor leonards videos made me feel the way this man did explaining the chain rule BUT i still enjoy professor leonards videos he's saving my ass. Glad i was able to find another good calc lecturer on youtube though.

  • @RetroAdvance
    @RetroAdvance 9 ปีที่แล้ว


    (At 15:00+): It might be helpful to explicitly show where the chain rule is coming from:
    We are given the facts (using "D" for finite steps):
    1. Dz = a*Dy (a = Dz/Dy)
    2. Dy = b*Dx (b = Dy/Dx)
    Insert 2. into 1. to get:
    3. Dz = a* b * Dx (this step already reveals the nature of the derivative)
    Write out a and b as ratios in 3.:
    4. Dz = Dz/Dy * Dy/Dx * Dx
    Divide 4. by Dx to get the ratio we are after:
    5. Dz/Dx = Dz/Dy * Dy/Dx
    Now let "D go to d" (the calculus step) to get the derivative:
    6. dz/dx = dz/dy * dy/dx

    I attempted to solve the challenge at the end of the lecture.
    I think it would be
    d2z/dx^2=d/dx (dz/dy. dy/dx) =d2z/(dx.dy) . dy/dx + dz/dy . d2y/dx^2
    I tried it for the example z = (x^2)^3 and it worked

    Sorry for being dumb,but I can't get why he multiplies dz/dy by dy/dx. I really can't, and I know it's basic. Anyone,please?

    • @AzizMelb
      @AzizMelb 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Think about it in terms of its limits, if y doesn’t change at all with changing x then z wouldn’t change with x and that is true from the formula because dy/dx will be zero. Or you can see it from the fact that x doesn’t have direct access to z, so it affects y first then y affects z and that is reflected in the product of the ratios, you can imagine real applications like if something setting inside a box and the box is inside a car, normally its movement ( change in its position ) will effect the box first then affects the car.

      In a three-semester course in calculus, this would be somewhere around the third or fourth week of the first semester. (First week discussing limits, second week discussing the derivatives of basic functions...) This class assumes no prior experience with calculus prior to college.

      Calculus is NOT easy! It is extremely rewarding...all of modern physics (Isaac Newton co-discoveded calculus) is based on it, and (as Dr. Strang mentions) a good deal of statistics is based on it.
