PatrickJMT videos: Derivatives

I like this YouTube channel PatrickJMT (“Just a Math Teacher”) for short math videos with a lot of examples.

You can see his entire “Derivatives” playlist here:

Here are a few of those videos which are relevant to what we have covered (and for Exam #2)–but look thru the playlist for even more:

3blue1brown videos

The YouTube channel/website 3blue1brown has a series of excellent videos on calculus which explain some of the topics we are covering in class.

You can watch the videos on their website, which includes additional written explanations to go with the videos–see the links below, or go to their Calculus page; or you can watch the videos via YouTube (videos embedded below).

All of these are worth watching, and will help you understand the ideas behind the techniques we are learning in class!
