This 8-minute video lecture demonstrates how to use a position vector valued function to describe a curve or path. [Calculus playlist: Lesson 133 of 156]

In this tutorial, we will learn to approximate differentiable functions with polynomials. Beyond just being super cool, this can be useful for approximating functions so that they are easier to calculate, differentiate or integrate. So whether you will have to write simulations or become a bond trader (bond traders use polynomial approximation to estimate changes in bond prices given interest rate changes and vice versa), this tutorial could be fun. If that isn't motivation enough, we also come up with one of the most epic and powerful conclusions in all of mathematics in this tutorial: Euler's identity.

You can parameterize a line with a position vector valued function and understand what a differential means in that context already. This tutorial will take things further by parametrizing surfaces (2 parameters baby!) and have us thinking about partial differentials.

Finding line integrals to be a bit boring? Well, this tutorial will add new dimension to your life by explore what surface integrals are and how we can calculate them.

This series of videos focusing on calculus covers calculating derivatives, power rule, product and quotient rules, chain rule, implicit differentiation, derivatives of common functions.

You can take the derivatives of f(x) and g(x), but what about f(g(x)) or g(f(x))? The chain rule gives us this ability. Because most complex and hairy functions can be thought of the composition of several simpler ones (ones that you can find derivatives of), you'll be able to take the derivative of almost any function after this tutorial. Just imagine.

The topic that is now known as "calculus" was really called "the calculus of differentials" when first devised by Newton (and Leibniz) roughly four hundred years ago. To Newton, differentials were infinitely small "changes" in numbers that previous mathematics didn't know what to do with. Think this has no relevence to you? Well how would you figure out how fast something is going *right* at this moment (you'd have to figure out the very, very small change in distance over an infinitely small change in time)? This tutorial gives a gentle introduction to the world of Newton and Leibniz.

We told you about the derivatives of many functions, but you might want proof that what we told you is actually true. That's what this tutorial tries to do!

This video talka about what is easily one of the most fundamental and profound concepts in statistics and maybe in all of mathematics. And that's the central limit theorem.
