These videos require little commentary. Each one is devoted to solving a ‘basic’ integral problem. I have assumed that you have watched the previous videos in this series (and practised the skills discussed therein), or that you have learned integration at school and are moderately proficient with the basic techniques.
My aim is to discuss strategies and patterns … things to look for and traps that you may encounter. In other words, I try to emulate the kinds of thoughts that may go through a student’s mind when confronted with different kinds of integrals.
This is a ‘no frills’ area where the videos will have to speak for themselves.
I enjoyed your presentation and no it wasn’t too long. Each subtraction algorithm has its merit as you demostrated, but after learning the “one up and one down” method, I’m employing it because of its speed and ease of usage. Even my wife, who hates mathematics with a passion, thinks it’s too easy. I look forward to your future presentations on both multiplication and number theory. I read an introduction text book some twenty five years ago on number theory by Oystein Ore who taught at Yale for better than twenty years. So in closing, please produce these lectures and the longer the better. Thanks.
