  I watch this once and recognized how hard my college professors were making this

  You don't substract. You subtract.

  Awesome video! &nbsp;I taught university calculus for a bit and wish I was half as eloquent as you are here!

  When I was in elementary school during the Space Race, we learned New Math. It seemed to be involved with a lot of number theory, the properties of numbers and such. A lot of our &quot;problems&quot; involved plugging values into &quot;function boxes.&quot;<br>When I was in sixth grade, we learned &quot;New&quot; New Math from the guy who had invented New Math.<br>We were taught by grad students from the university. We didn&apos;t use a falling ball, more often we used a vibrating string and played all sorts of number games with that.<br>We moved to another state at the end of the year and I was ever after presented with &quot;old&quot; math. Math just wasn&apos;t fun anymore.<br>Looking back, it seems the whole point of &quot;New Math&quot; was to present number theory and the principles of calculus without getting into the actual calculations so much.<br><br>It reminds me of an Advanced Topics in Astronomy class I took my second year in college, taught by the head of the Astronomy Department. It was just a bunch of lectures about &quot;what we know about astronomy,&quot; and at the end of each week we would have to write a paper on what we learned. There was no math involved, though he occasionally would put formulas and calculations on the board &quot;just to show that the math works,&quot; but we weren&apos;t required to know any of it. We were only responsible for understanding the concepts involved.<br>A typical Astronomy class at this level would only be offered to Astronomy Grad students after they had achieved proficiency in advanced mathematics.<br>Our professor wanted to see if he could teach all these &quot;advanced topics&quot; to undergrads without all the math.<br>It was delightful!!

  While I don&apos;t think this is a 5th-grade level explanination, it truly is remarquably well done and perfect for a high-school math student. &nbsp;Excellent explaination!

  Videos like this come along and make me feel the time and money spent for months in a class were a waste of time. The way he explained this in a 15 minute video helped me to learn more than I did in a few semesters.

  This was a great video! &nbsp;I had to watch a few times and make some notes to grasp it, but it is definitely going to make my pre-calc and calculus easier now that I have a &quot;birds eye view&quot;
