  1. God bless you

  2. thank you helped me alot

  3. explanation was precise and easy to understand with the number of examples
    given in all three videos regarding derivatives

  4. f'(a)=[f(x+h)-f(x-h)]/2h
    also works

  5. He never gets a new pen tool, does he?

  6. Look at that. My f'(x)=nx^n-1 pen’s already malfunctioning.

  7. Is it possible To put PART 4 of calculus derivatives

  8. Hi thanks so much !!!!
    Is their calculus derivatives 4

  9. Students : 1
    Guy calling on the cell phone : 0 

  10. It must be Sheldon.

  11. you are a lifesaver! I wish all teachers were capable of teaching like this

  12. @axfndi62 Sharpie on whiteboard…. ridiculous.

  13. Can someone say, try hard?

  14. 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.

  15. for…what?

  16. The best! Nice 🙂

  17. Yeah, I just realized that I forgot to apply the limit, embarrassing.

  18. Only if I could have you as my professor. My day will be a lot more easier
    and less stressful!

  19. 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…

  20. Alejandro Tostado

    lol did he cuss?

  21. the whole turkey thing made it more confusing

  22. Thank you Sir!

  23. WHAT ABOUT INTEGRALS?

  24. Nicely explained.Thank you!

  25. the same explanation for SWAPS?

  26. best clip

  27. Friday Leana Marie Vicente

    So Understandable <3

  28. 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.

  29. GREAT VIDEO!

  30. “…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

  32. @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.
