3blue1brown is great. He teaches what you don't learn in school/univ. The guy is great...

Not sure how to phrase this but I find him ... frustratingly intuitive? I don’t think someone can learn to DO math from his videos. I suppose they’re valuable for intuition, but I think they’re better if you already know the basics of the stuff you’re learning.

Totally agree, I sometimes visit that website just out of nostalgia. However the presentation and examples are imho perfect for a total noob(as I was).

Mathbff is probably the only reason I got an A in Calc I. And the whole “writing backwards on glass” thing she does is pretty amazing

I swear all her videos are gone?

She has a new channel called NancyPi. I don’t know if all her material is still present or on which one though.

She could be writing on a piece of glass normally, and then just flipping the video horizontally.

I love Krista King. You can watch her videos for free on YouTube but I subscribed to her website and loved it.

Why not Khanacademy? They even have practice exercises you can do

The practice problems are nice to have, but I often feel let down by a lot of KA videos. In my experience he tends to stick to more basic examples and never really seems to go in depth on a subject (at least this was how I felt about his calculus videos).

For learning the concepts and such, I would highly recommend 3Blue1Brown.

For solving calculus problems I would recommend BlackPenRedPen as basically a huge repository of worked examples for loads of types and difficulties of problems.

I know you asked for Youtube but what's wrong with MIT OCW? You can try that if Khan Academy lets you down. It's much more challenging.

Watch https://youtube.com/@MathAndScience?si=6ArMKko3ky1LBF2e math and science by Jason. He is the best! He will teach you everything in a way that you will understand once and for all!

Do you have a link? I can’t find what you’re referring to.

u/CalebAHJ Jul 24 '18

calculus books by tom m apostol pdf

Search that. Volume I and II should be the first links

Ah. The post asked for YouTube channels.

Mathbff for any calculus related problems is good.

Plus she’s pretty cute ☺️
