There's something up-front about his occasional hesitations and backups. It shows that he's not presenting the material by rote, but he's thinking it through again along with the student. That helps a lot. Also the informal intuitive "proofs" are enlightening.

Totally agreed..For example in this lecture he says,,,’as when they as usual cut the pizza in 6 pieces’.. he perfectly know that they never cut pizza in 6 pieces, usually 8.. he wants you to focus on the area in that particular moment of the lecture,, he does this in almost all lectures and that’s make the different between an avarage professor and a great professor as he is.

I'm going on 60, and after surviving long periods of plagues, aka schools, literally plagued by the presence of incompetent would-be teachers on both state and private schools' payrolls, this gentleman, is probably THE most lovable and competent maths teacher i ever encountered. No hard feelings, Sal Khan & friends. Thank U, professor Strang.

it's a useful ratio that helps you keep a tag on your right triangle, and find an unknown length. If you fix 2 sides and one angle, you know the whole triangle. In the "odd case" that one of the two unknown angles is 90deg, you can solve the triangle in seconds. The adjacent length = hyp cos(theta), and the opposite length = hyp sin (theta) Basically, sine and cosine are useful information about a right triangle.

Min 10:48 If you are asking why the heck that tangent line is 45 degrees, here is the answer. In the graph of sin vs rad, what happens when sin X / X goes to Zero.............They tend to have a ration of 1 as Dr. Gilbert proves, soooooo, what angles has an isoceles triangle when one of the three angles is straight????, I mean one side of the triangle is going to be Sin X and the other side Rad X; the angles subtended by equal sides in a triangle are equal, then each angles is л/4 or 45°.

The very last step in the proof is given only a very cursory discussion. I'd call it hand-waving, except I acknowledge Strang isn't being rigorous on purpose for the sake of the bigger picture. The proof that the limit as delta x approaches 0 of (1 - cos delta x)/(delta x) = 0 is not complete. Giving a diagram and suggesting that (1 - cos delta x) seems to approach 0 as delta x approaches 0 is not enough. If you are curious to see this last result proved, you can see a proof that the limit is 0. For example, here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ecl-oNtpvbHKZYE.html Key steps: lim (1 - cos Δx)/Δx = lim (1 - cos Δx)(1 + cos Δx)/[Δx(1 + cos Δx)] = lim (1 - (cos Δx)^2)/[Δx(1 + cos Δx)] = lim (sin Δx)^2/[Δx(1 + cos Δx)] = lim (sin Δx)/Δx * lim (sin Δx)/(1 + cos Δx) = 1 * lim (sin Δx) / lim (1 + cos Δx) = 1 * 0/(1 + 1) = 1 * 0 = 0

Great presentation. The slope of a curve at the maximum is necessarily zero,because it's horizontal at the curve (Physics), if the cos function get its maximum when x takes the value zero, Of course, the slope of the cos function at this point (x) is zero. I think it's more easy like that.

1 radian is defined as the angle at which the arc of the circle subtended (the curve on the circle cut off by the angle) has a length of the radius. So describing angles in terms of radians gives you the neat ability to also speak of the "length" of that angle (which is actually the length of the arc subtended on a circle of radius 1) because you would just multiply the angle (in radians) by the radius (1) and you would get the arc length of that angle (which would be equal to theta)

The way he does the explanation confuses. But after you explained the algebraic manipulation it is clear enough.

Thanks for your effort.

Oh that puzzled me too, but I got it now: The whole expression is: sin(x)cos(dx)+cos(x)sin(dx)-sin(x) If we ignore the middle part for a second, we have: sin(x)cos(dx)-sin(x) = sin(x)(cos(dx)-1) Let us do the same with algebra: ab-a = a(b-1) Try to multiply and see that they are the same. It is the same thing happening with the trigonometric function.

Alright , ever wonder why value of sin(45°) = 0.70 and sin(90°) = 1 , I mean from 0° to 45° it is 0.70 and 45° to 90° it is just 0.29. infact from 0° to 30 is 0.5 and 30° to 45° is 0.20.. just do this recursively and see what happens ... 30°-> 15° -> 12.5° -> 6.025° -> ...-> 0 This has to do with the geometry of the unit circle ! 0 to 90 - curve of the circle is increasing with decrease in rate . 90 to 180 - decreasing with increase in rate .
@marciocamara91517 жыл бұрын
I understand "limit of sin theta over theta is 1 as theta approaches zero" by the following way: In unit circle, as the arc (theta) becomes smaller and smaller, the perpendicular (sine) fits better and better with the curvature of the arc so that, henceforward a given limit, both will be virtually the same. Is it correct?

It is indeed confusing that he is saying that he is subtracting sin(x), but he is not really doing any subtraction at all. All he is doing is the manipulation I gave in my other answer. It is also confusing that he writes -sin(x) on the other side of the equals sign when it clearly belonged to the end of the right hand side, but only before he manipulated the -sin(x) into the sin(x)(cos(dx)-1) expression. After the manipulation he should just have left it out.

Some time derivative by first principle makes difficult to understand its logical way of deducing the derivative result. for example while arriving result for derivative of cosine(x) and derivative sine(x) by first principle approach or logic deducing the result are completely different. For derivative of sine(x) approach or logic is different when dx tends to zero And For derivative of cosine(x) approach or logic is different when dx tends to zero. So different logic for same principle for just to the result is not correct method. Any way limits tends to zero does not have logical approach to get result We know derivative of sine and derivative of cosine but if we does not knew derivative of some other function before hand then derivative by first principle is not correct method.

@lzfix81887 жыл бұрын
The fact is the triangle is out of the circle. so adjacent side here is equal to 1 (the adjacent side is the radius so 1) and opposite side is still opposite side, when you do tan = opp/adj, here you will have tan = opp/1 so tan = opposite side, so the opposite side is tan. I guess, it's how i see it. The area will be adj*opp/2 = 1*tan/2
