Credit default swaps? Theyre complicated — and scary! The receipt you get when you pre-order your Thanksgiving turkey? Not so much. But they have a lot in c…

God bless you
thank you helped me alot
explanation was precise and easy to understand with the number of examples
given in all three videos regarding derivatives
f'(a)=[f(x+h)-f(x-h)]/2h
also works
He never gets a new pen tool, does he?
Look at that. My f'(x)=nx^n-1 pen’s already malfunctioning.
Is it possible To put PART 4 of calculus derivatives
Hi thanks so much !!!!
Is their calculus derivatives 4
Students : 1
Guy calling on the cell phone : 0
It must be Sheldon.
you are a lifesaver! I wish all teachers were capable of teaching like this
Thanks!
@axfndi62 Sharpie on whiteboard…. ridiculous.
Can someone say, try hard?
You can find a derivative by multiplying the coefficient by the exponent,
then subtracting 1 from the exponent. For example, 6x^4 would be 24x^3. Idk
if that helps anyone.
for…what?
The best! Nice 🙂
Yeah, I just realized that I forgot to apply the limit, embarrassing.
Only if I could have you as my professor. My day will be a lot more easier
and less stressful!
lol not every school in every country in the world has the same
math-program. A friend of mine had calculus with 16 but imaginary numbers
with 14…
lol did he cuss?
the whole turkey thing made it more confusing
Thank you Sir!
WHAT ABOUT INTEGRALS?
Nicely explained.Thank you!
the same explanation for SWAPS?
best clip
So Understandable <3
LOL I got lost somewhere around 6 minutes in. See what the Love of money
leads to? All this unnecessary complication of life. Buying turkeys should
be a simple thing to do. Oh my. Anyway, The love of money is the root of
all kinds of evil, some wise person once said. Yes, thievery is a very good
word to exaplain derivatives.
GREAT VIDEO!
“…He had to feed them ham and that was a pretty traumatic event…”
BAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA hilarious… That aside, great video, thanks!
Thank you for your wonderful presentation
@Ben Dreis Derivatives are supposed to give people a way to hedge
against fluctuations of prices. For eg; the turkey may cost less than $15
in the future, and the forward contract they agreed upon would benefit the
farmer, while Terry secures the turkeys for thanksgiving. Of course, using
an options contract in this case would benefit Terry more, since he may
choose not to accept the delivery of the turkey in the future if supply is
plentiful and prices of turkey in the markets are below $15; in which case
he forfeits the $50 he paid for the option and purchase the turkey from the
market instead. Although useful as a tool for risk management, it can be
used for speculation as well. Why the need for complication? Such contracts
exists since the birth of capitalism, and many businesses are able to
benefit from it. For example, if you run a restaurant, you would usually
place orders for your inventory in advance at a slated price. This is
similar to a forward contract. The only difference is that people
discovered they can strike gold by gambling with these contracts.
Excellent! Thank you :)
perfectly presented
