Calculus: Evaluating Limits
The limit is the range value that a function is tending towards as you get closer to a domain value. In this lesson you will learn about evaluating limits by substituting values into the expression as well as what notation denotes a limit (and how to read and interpret the notation). If a function is well-behaved, the limit will be equal to the function at that point. Well-behaved functions include lines, parabolas and square root functions. Poorly-behaved functions, however, include piecewise-defined functions and step functions. We will also look at how to evaluate limits by canceling (which is what you should do when you get an answer of 0/0, an indeterminate form, after trying to solve for the limit using substitution). Limits that produce indeterminant forms may or may not exist. An indeterminate form is a mathematically meaningless expression and, in this case, it is just an indication that more work needs to be done to evaluate the limit. Professor Burger will walk you through how to progress once you arrive at an indeterminate form.

Calculus: Limits and Indeterminate Forms
The limit is the range value that a function is tending towards as you get closer to a domain value. In this lesson, you will learn how to evaluate a limit at a value where a function is well-behaved by substituting the value into the expression. If direct substitution produces zero divided by a non-zero number, the limit is zero. If direct substitution produces a non-zero number divided by zero, the limit does not exist. You will also cover how to handle limits that produce indeterminate forms (0/0) that may or may not exist. An indeterminate form, unfortunately, is just a sign that more work should be done and Professor Burger walks you through what should be done in what order to determine whether there is a limit (and what it is).

Calculus: Two Techniques for Evaluating Limits
The limit is the range value that a function is tending towards as you get closer to a domain value. This lesson will cover the cancellation technique and the rationalization technique to evaluate and solve for limits which give you an indeterminate form when evaluated with substitution. When evaluating the limit of a compound fraction, Professor Burger will teach you to simplify the fraction by using the lowest common denominator (LCD). He will also walk you through how to simplify a binomial that contains radicals by rationalizing (multiplying by the conjugate of the binomial to remove the radical). The conjugate of binomial a-b is the binomial a+b.

Calculus: Finding Instantaneous Velocity
This lesson will start with a recap of average and instantaneous rates as well as their relationships with secants, and tangents. A secant line is a straight line that intersects a curve at two or more points, and a tangent line is a straight line that touches but does not intersect a curve. While you can use the secant line to calculate average velocity, you will use the tangent line to evaluate instantaneous velocity. This is because the average rate of change is equal to the slope of the secant line and the instantaneouse rate of change is equal to the slope of the tangent line. To find the instantaneous rate of change, you will learn to take the limit of the average rate on the interval [t, t+delta t] as delta t approaches zero.

Calculus: The Derivative
This lesson is a review of how we arrive at the derivative. We start with secants and tangents and then move to average and instantaneous rates before we conclude with the definition of the derivative. We know that tangent lines are a graphical representation of instantaneous rates of change. To find the slope of the tangent line, we take the limit as the change in the independent variable (delta X) approaches zero. The derivative is the function that gives you the instantaneous rate and slope of the tangent line at a particular point. The derivative gets its name because it is derived from another function. The derivative of a function at x is equal to the limit as delta x approaches zero of [f(x+ delta x) - f(x)]/delta x (provided the limit exists).

Calculus: The Slope of a Tangent Line
In this lesson, we will review tangent lines, learn how to find the derivative, and learn how to use the derivative once we find it. We begin by finding the slope the tangent line f(x) = 2x^2 at x=3. We find the slope by taking the derivative of f(x). We compute this derivative by evaluating the limit as delta x approaches 0 of [f(x + delta x) - f(x)]/delta x or, in this case, the limit as delta x approaches zero of [2(x+ delta x)^2 - 2x^2]/delta x.

Calculus: Instantaneous Rate
In this lesson, you will practice using position functions and determining the instantaneous rate at a given point in time. You will use the position function to determine location at a point in time, but you will use the derivative (the slope of the tangent line at the given point) to calculate the rate of speed at that same point of time. The derivative of the position function at a given point in time gives us the velocity (instantaneous rate) at that point in time.

Calculus: The Equation of a Tangent Line
In this lesson, you will cover how to find the equation of a line tangent to a curve, equations of tangent lines, how to find the derivative, and how to find the point where the tangent line is horizontal. To find the equation of the tangent line, you'll start by taking the derivative of the curve and then evaluate that derivative at the point of tangency. You'll then substitute the coordinates of the point of tangency as well as the calculated slope into the point-slope form of the line: y-y1 = m*(x-x1) to get the equation of the tangent line. To find where the tangent line is horizontal, you'll set the derivative of the function equal to zero and solve for x.

Calculus: Uses of the Power Rule
This lesson covers the power rule, the sum rule, and the constant multiple rule (all related to differentiation). Through this video, you will learn how to evaluate derivatives without using the definition as the method. The power rule is the shortcut used for finding a derivative of any variable raised to the power of a rational exponent. The constant multiple rule asserts that the derivative of any function times a constant is the same as the derivative of that function times that exponent. The sum rule shows that the derivative of the sum of two functions is equal to the sum of the derivatives of both functions.

Calculus: Derivatives of Exponential Functions
The power rule for differentiation does not apply to exponential functions (e.g. the derivative of 2^x does NOT equal x*2^(x-1)). In this lesson, we will return to the limit definition of the derivative to discover how to differentiate exponential functions like 2^x. Professor Burger will graph the exponential function and calculate the slope of the tangent line. In the end, we will arrive at the fact that the derivative of an exponential function is the product of the function and the natural log of its base. You will also see how to arrive at e = 2.71828..., which is the only constant for which its derivative, when raised to any power is equal to the same thing. Thus, the derivative of e^x is equal to e^x and the e^(ln x) = e. The derivative of N^x is equal to N^x*ln N. The constant 'e' turns out to be very important in math, and Dr. Burger will explain some of its uses as a critical constant.

Calculus: Derivative of the Natural Log Function
In this lesson, you will learn how to find the derivative of the natural log function. To start with, we will review exponential functions and the natural logarithmic function, and then you move on to learning about composite functions that include natural log functions. To find the derivative of one of these composite functions, like e^(3x^2), you must combine the fact that the derivative of e^x is e^x and the chain rule. You will also see how to use the natural exponential function to prove why the derivative of f(x) = ln x is equal to 1/x. Last, this lesson will cover how to use the chain rule or the properties of logs to find the derivative of the composition of a natural log function and another function, like finding the derivative of ln(x^3).

Calculus: Using Implicit Differentiation
Here, we will use implicit differentiation (in which you find the dy/dx of things that aren't simple functions). This will include looking at lines tangent to curves of relations (like a circle equation of x^2 + y^2 = 1). Professor Burger will show you how to find the derivative of a relation by differentiating each side of its equation implicitly and solving for the derivative as an unknown. For instance, this is what you would use to differentiate a formula like x^2 + xy + y^2 = 3.75 or for x + x/y - y^3 = 4 + 3/8 to find dy/dx (the derivative of y with respect to x).

Calculus: Higher-Order Derivatives, Linear Approx
In this lesson, we learn about multiple derivatives and tangent line approximations for these. Higher-order derivatives are results of taking the derivative more than once. Where the derivative of x^4 is 4x^3. The second derivative of the original x^4 would be the derivative of the derivative, which is 12x^2. You can also calculate third and fourth derivatives and so on... This lesson will walk you through what notation (Leibniz notation) denotes higher-order derivatives (d^2y/dx^2) or with multiple prime sympols for f(x) derivatives. Derivatives can allow you to approximate values of complicated functions near values you know. For example, in this video, you will see Professor Burger approximate the square root of 4.1 by using derivatives and the knowledge that the square root of 4 is equal to 2 (a very close point on the function's graph).

Calculus: The First Derivative Test
To find the maxima and minima of a graph, you first have to find all of the critical points. Thus, you will always find the max or min at one of these points where slope is 0 or is undefined (though the function is defined). The first derivative test is a way to determine if a critical point is a max, a min, or neither. To do the test, you look at how the derivative is changing around the point. If slope is positive before and negative after, it is a max. If it is negative before and positive after, it is a min. Note that these maximums and minimums are relative maximums and relative minimums. If the derivative of the function does not change sign around the critical point, it is neither a maximum nor a minimum.

Calculus: The Second Derivative Test
Where the first derivative test is a method used to determine whether critical points are maxima or minima, the second derivative test is used to test concavity for a critical point. If the derivative of a function at a critical point equals zero and the second derivative of that function at that point is positive, you have a minimum (min) and a concave up curve. If the derivative of a function at a critical point equals zero and the second derivative at that same point is negative, you have a maximum (or max) in a curve that is concave down. If the first derivative is zero and the second derivative is zero, the second derivative test is inconclusive - it doesn't mean that the point isn't a max or a min. It just means you need to go back to the first derivative test.

Calculus: Antidifferentiation
This lesson is an introduction to integration and antiderivatives. Where calculus begins with differential calculus (studying about derivatives), this is the beginning of the next portion of calculus in which we learn how to undo derivatives or anti-differentiate. Antidifferentiation is the process by which we look at a function and determine what function it was before it was differentiated. To this end, Professor Burger will show you how to use the derivative formulas in reverse.

Calculus: Antiderivatives of Powers of x
This lesson is a more advanced view of antidifferentiation and integration. In it, you will be introduced to the proper notation for denoting an integral or antiderivative and you will also be introduced to the power rule for integration and some properties of indefinite integrals. You will also learn several rules about antiderivatives or integrals. If a function has an antiderivative, it has an infinite number of antiderivatives, and the properties of antidifferentiation mirror those of differentiation. Professor Burger will go over some of these properties, including the constant multiple rule for integration and the sum rule for integration.

Calculus: Undoing the Chain Rule
In this video, you will learn to do integration by substitution, which is a fancy way of saying that we'll learn to solve integration problems by undoing the chain rule, which is a fundamental technique we should know from differentiation. Since integration (antidifferentiation) and differentiation are inverse operations, we see many of the same patterns in integrals that we do with derivatives. Professor Burger will show you how to recognize integral problems that you may be able to solve by untangling the chain rule.

Calculus: Integrating Polynomials by Substitution
This lesson will teach you how to do integration of polynomials using substitution. Before digging in on substitution in antidifferentiation, Professor Burger will review notation associated with differentiation and antidifferentation (with respect to x). Next, he will move on to teach you integration by substitution, a technique that is helpful for finding the antiderivative of a composite function. While running through the chain rule backwards, he will highlight several rules and properties of antidifferentiation; for instance, the integral of a product is not necessarily equal to the product of the integrals. He also gives us advice on what expressions to select and replace with a constant when using substitution as a method of integration. To illustrate all of this, you will find the integral of 42x(x^2+4)^20 dx as well as the integral of this expression that contains radicals 2x^2*(5+x^3)^(1/2)dx.

Calculus: Substitution to Integrate Trig Functions
In this lesson, we will work on solving antidifferentiation problems involving composite trigonometric functions using the substitution method to solve for the integral. A composite function is a function that results from applying one function first and then another (e.g. f(g(x))). When these involve trig functions, they look like: find the antiderivative (or integral) of (2x+1)*sin(x^2+x)dx. After using substitution, if you end up with the du-expression being off by a factor of a constant, remember that you can take that constant multiple out of the integral (because of the constant multiple rule of integration and antidifferentiation). Additionally, this lesson will cover the integration of composite functions that involve the trigonometric function secant (in addition to other, more basic, trig functions).

Calculus: Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, Part I
In this lesson, you will learn how the derivative and the integral are related. This is the first part of the fundamental theorem of calculus; it asserts that differentiation is 'undone' by integration. It also means that the rate of change of the area under the graph of a function with respect to x is equal to the value of the original function at x. In addition to explaining the theorem and the implications of it, Professor Burger will also walk you through a proof of sorts that explains why the theorem is true.

Calculus: Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, Part II
The Second part of the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus provides the link between velocity and area. It states that the sum of the area under the curve between two points (A and B) is equal to the difference of the antiderivatives of A and B. Thus, to find the area under a curve between two points, you will take the difference of the derivatives calculated at the end points, A and B. This theorem enables you to evaluate definite integrals by finding the area between the function described and the X axis. The lesson will also cover proper notation that should be used to denote what you're evaluating over which interval. You will also work problems that involve trigonometric functions (like finding the area under a portion of the sine curve or cosine curve)

Calculus: Regions Bound by Several Curves
In this lesson, you will learn how to find the area of a region bounded by 3 or more curves. This is basically a semi-advanced application of integration and antidifferentiation. To calculate the area of bounded regions, you will have to break the integral into multiple different pieces wherever the curves bounding the regions switch. In the video, you will learn how to find points of intersection between different region boundaries and how to calculate the areas based upon the combination of different antiderivatives.
This lesson is perfect for review for a CLEP test, mid-term, final, summer school, or personal growth!

Calculus: Integrating with Respect to y: Part I
To find the area between two curves (or relations), you take the antiderivative across a range of values. This is, in effect, a way of adding up the area of a series of minute vertical rectangles (that run from the top curve to the bottom curve). Sometimes, it makes more sense to add up the areas of horizontal rectangles in order to determine the area between two lines (most notably when the lines or curves in question are closer to being vertical than they are to being horizontal). In this instance, you will be better off to integrate with respect to y. This lesson will graphically depict this theoretical concept. In this case, you are using y-easy instead of using x-easy in order to calculate area by integration.

Calculus: Integrating with Respect to y: Part II
To find the area bounded by two curves (or relations), it is sometimes simpler to add up the areas of the horizontal rectangles (calculate with respect to y; y-easy) versus the areas of vertical rectangles (calculated with respect to x; x-easy). In this lesson, Professor Burger will show you which endpoint should go where when denoting the integral as well as which function should be subtracted from which function in the integral. After going through the mechanics of solving this type of problem and usiing the correct notation to describe it, you will walk through some sample problems to practice integrating with respect to y over the range in order to calculate the area between the curves.

Calculus: Basic Uses of L'Hopital's Rule
In this lesson, we will look at applications of L'Hopital's rule, when to use it, what to watch out for, etc. When assessing limits, start by plugging in using substitution to evaluate them. If this gives you an indeterminate form, apply L'Hôpital's rule. The L'Hôpital rule is applicable to f(x) and g(x) if they are differentiable functions across an interval containing c, except possibly at c. If the limit as x approaches c of f(x)/g(x) produces the indeterminant form of 0/0 or (+-infinity)/(+-infinity), then the limit as x approaches c or f(x)/g(x) is equal to the limit as x approaches c of [the derivative of f(x)] / [the derivative of g(x)] provided the limit on the right exists or is infinite. L'Hôpital's rule can also be applied to one-sided limits and, as long as the limit is indeterminate, you can take the limit again if L'Hôpital's rule doesn't give you an answer the first time around (and you are again left with an indeterminate form as the limit). Note that the rule may mislead you if you misapply it to a limit that doesn't produce an indeterminate form.

Calculus: L'Hopital's Rule, Indeterminate Products
Some indeterminate forms, including indeterminate products, must be manipulated before L'Hôpital's Rule can be applied. In order to do this, try expressing one of the factors as a fraction (so you can recognize things like (0 * infinity) or (theta * cotangent of theta) as an indeterminate form given that they are actually indeterminate products rather than the easily recognizable 0/0 or infinity/infinity). Once recognized as an indeterminate form, you will learn how to manipulate these camouflaged indeterminate forms in such a way that they can have L'Hôpital's rule applied to them. In this lesson, you will learn how to recognize these limits with indeterminate forms as well as how to handle limits with negative exponents and limits with trigonometric expressions.

Calculus:L'Hopital's Rule-Indeterminate Difference
This lesson will show you how to recognize indeterminate forms that are camouflaged as indeterminate differences rather than showing up as 0/0 or infinity/infinity. For instance, when you calculate the limit to be equal to infinity - infinity (e.g. 1/x - 1/(e^x-1)), this is an indeterminate form, so you must manipulate it to make it into a form such that you can apply L'Hôpital's rule to it. This lesson also covers additional camouflaged indeterminate differences that show up with fractions and radicals. To apply L'Hôpital's rule to an indeterminate difference in many of these instances, you will first have to find a common denominator or look for a sneaky way to factor. Professor Burger will walk you through examples of all of these instances.

Calculus: L'Hopital's Rule, 1 to an Infinite Power
The limit of a function is called an indeterminate form when it produces a mathematically meaningless result. Some advanced indeterminate forms have to be manipulated before L'Hôpital's rule can be applied to them. In this lesson, you will learn several ways in which logarithmic functions in indeterminate forms can be camouflaged. In order to use L'Hôpital's rule on a camouflaged indeterminate form (e.g. 1^infinity or infinity * 0), you will need to apply logarithmic properties such that you can rewrite the exponential function as a logarithm and convert it into a standard indeterminate form. L'Hopital's rule is applicable to f(x) and g(x) if they are differentiable functions across an interval containing c, except possibly at c. If the limit as x approaches c of f(x)/g(x) produces the indeterminant form of 0/0 or (+-infinity)/(+-infinity), then the limit as x approaches c or f(x)/g(x) is equal to the limit as x approaches c of [the derivative of f(x)] / [the derivative of g(x)] provided the limit on the right exists or is infinite. L'Hôpital's rule can also be applied to one-sided limits and, as long as the limit is indeterminate, you can take the limit again if L'Hôpital's rule doesn't give you an answer the first time around (and you are again left with an indeterminate form as the limit)

Calculus: Differentiating Logarithmic Functions
In this lesson, you will learn how to take the derivative of logarithmic functions. While the derivative of ln x is 1/x, this lesson will teach you how to find the derivative of a logarithmic function when the base is different (e.g. when you need to calculate the derivative for an equation like y=log (base b) x). In explaining how to differentiate these types of problems, Professor Burger will show you how to arrive at the answer and why it is correct. He will also walk through how to manipulate the log expression into an exponential function such that you can solve for the variable exponent using natural logs. You will also go through more advanced problems that involve differentiation of logs in addition to usage of the chain rule, the product rule, and trig functions.

Calculus: Derivatives of Inverse Functions
In this lesson, we will review the properties of inverse functions and learn about finding the derivative of an inverse function using a formula. For invertible functions, the inverse of f(x) is continuous if f(x) is continuous, is differentiable if f(x) is differentiable, is increasing if f(x) is monotonically increasing, and is decreasing if f(x) is monotonically decreasing. There is a technique that you can use to find the derivative of the inverse of a function without even having to find the inverse of its function. Once you find the derivative of a function's inverse using the provided formula, you will also be able to find the inverse function from the derivative you've calculated.

By substituting for equivalent trigonometric identities, we are able to use the Pythagorean identity for sine and consine (sin^2X+cos^2X = 1) and u-substitution (u-sub) to arrive at the antiderivative of both of these trig expressions. Professor Burger will walk you through the proof of the associated identities derived from this type of manipulation and explain how to recognize other problems which can be solved in the same manner.
This lesson is perfect for review for a CLEP test, mid-term, final, summer school, or personal growth!

Calculus: Integrals of Other Trig Functions
In this lesson, you will learn how to integrate tangent, cotangent and secant. You will see how solving tangent and cotangent antidifferentiation problems will generally involve expressing them in terms of sine and cosine and then applying u-substitution to the problem. Integrating secant and cosecant, on the other hand, involves multiplication by a specific fraction that is equal to one. Professor Burger will walk you through what the integrals are of these trigonometric identities as well as how one would arrive at them.

great lecture
Thought the instructor did a great job explaining limits.
the video never played.when i clicked the mouse to play the lesson nothing happended.After paying $2.97 for the lesson I received nothing in return.I'm very disapointed! jim.
im sad i paid for this
Very helpful!
It's been over ten years since I sat in Calculus and now I have been thrown last minute into teaching it. These videos are exactly what I need to teach well and have my students learn.
This was well explained, but I would need at least one more example.
Review for Exam 1
i think that this guy is the ultimate teacher
why arent there more videos on ode's?
you have'nt covered the entire course on that
