I love your videos... Too bad they use up my bandwidth every time I need help in math. Any chance you can sell some CDs with all your tutorials in them?

hi thanks so much for this video! just wondering the intermediate value theorem is proven for a given function on a closed interval if there is at least one point that intercepts the x axis?

Youtube has no idea on how amazing your way of teaching is. Your voice is soothing, it doesn't piss me off no matter how many times I repeat your video. Your handwriting is neat and It doesn't grind my gears when I read them. Your nails are cut properly... JUST KIDDING! haha.
Keep up the good work!!!! -BSc student that needs to recall what he did in first year...

Something about ... ( 1 week ago by playrightbro)

Something about educational videos is more productive than physical lessons. If the majority of a population has access to the internet, how will things like this reform education? Certainly there will be less reliance on local teachers to teach material, this one video by one person has already taught +100k people, what professor could ever hope to do that?

@albertolinguini If only he weren't left handed! Seriously, Patrick--your videos have saved my life more than once. I went into precal a year ago after a 20 year break from math. You and my excellent tutor are the reason I was able to make a B. Now I'm in calculus, and I'm kicking butt in it. I fully anticipate an A. :)

I have these two ... ( 5 days ago by whateverchannel92)

I have these two problems but I don't understand them could you help me pleasee??
1.Use the Intermediate Value Theorem to prove there is x∈[(-π)/2,π/2] such that tanx=1.5.
2. Suppose f is continuous on [1, 5] and the only solutions of the equation f(x)=6 are x=1 and x=4. If f(2)=8, use IVT to explain why f(3)>6.

So many people can ... ( 4 days ago by sillymgl)

So many people can solve extremely hard math problems, but only a few can actually succeed in teaching it. Thank god you are one of the few.
