  • How do we read math equations?? In this video, we learn how to see math as a language, hooray! We'll look at what numbers mean and what operations mean, with a specific focus on addition, summation, and integrals!

    Sometimes, a refresher like this video is oddly helpful. I rely way too much on a calculator in my day-to-day line of work.

    I wish I had found your channel when I was taking applied calc 1 and 2. Your enthusiasm and how you easily break everything down makes it a lot easier to understand. Thank you for putting out excellent content, math or otherwise.

      Wow, thank you so much!! It makes me very happy to hear that these are useful and interesting. And even though you're not taking calc anymore, hopefully it builds on your existing knowledge to help solidify those concepts!

    Really it's helpful to go back to basics and rephrase one's understanding in light of his current status. Thank you

    No, you have shoulders like a boss. ;) subbed! (partly for the math, but mostly for the shoulders, sometimes a fella needs to take Bill Wither's advice, so on, and so on; nice to meet you.)

    I need an expert advise, from where i do start my mathematics. to referesh all my mathematical knowledge again...as am S/W engineer and pursuing my carrier in Data Sciences....Respect you knowledge and keen to know about the advise you will provide.
    Thanks and Stay Blessed...peace is life

      Thats awesome you want to learn something new! Data science is largely statistics plus calculus (plus coding but sounds like you've got that down). Would suggest starting with some (free) online courses on statistics and calculus, ones where you will work through example problems. Id highly recommend rhe MIT EdX courses, coursera and udemy are also good 👍

    Which books you using??

    • @JenFoxBot
      @JenFoxBot  Před 4 lety +2

      for this I didn't use any books! I've studied a LOT of math, lol. But I'd really recommend "Mathematical Methods in the Physical Sciences" by Mary Boas, it's a great book that covers a ton of advanced math that is used in physics, chemistry, and engineering.

    *My takeaways:*
    1. The summation sign 6:16
    2. The integral sign 8:28

      @@JenFoxBot Thanks. I think if you add timestamps in the description, then we can see them while watching your video. For example, check this video on CZcams "Intermediate Python Programming Course
      ", and you will see the timestamps are embedded in the video timeline.

    Hello mam 1+2+3+4........... infinite =-1/12 how can possible

    • @JenFoxBot
      @JenFoxBot  Před 4 lety

      Hah yes infinite sums are truly bizarre! Infinity is a strange and tricky concept, especially since we don't have anything to compare to it in our everyday lives. In brief, the way that sum (Ramanujan Summation) works is by rearranging the infinite series to simplify and calculate the sum. Here is a good article that summarizes this method: medium.com/cantors-paradise/the-ramanujan-summation-1-2-3-1-12-a8cc23dea793
      And here is a longer article that dives deeper: slate.com/technology/2014/01/follow-up-the-infinite-series-and-the-mind-blowing-result.html
      Hope that helps!
