/sci/, what is some good math or chemistry related lectures to watch? I'm in calculus 1 right now and my professor is not a very good lecturer, so I would like some material to watch on my own (I actually like watching math)

Same with chemistry. Or if there are more entertainment based math/chemistry channels, I'd be interested in those too.

If you just have a general favorite lecture series you want to share, also post that. Basically

I like the MIT ocw lectures for single variable calculus. I heard that some like the buff dude for calculus(idk the name of the youtube channel). Unaware of any chemistry lectures that are good. Also, tbqh would recommend learning from a textbook rather than from a person.

Learn from a book rather than a video. You will take in half as much sitting and watching rather than reading, and there's much more space in a book to explain the subtleties.

>>8038183
This, and if you read something several times and don't understand, then you can look into other sources for that topic like videos

Its Professor Leonard. He's pretty good for basic calculus. However, I agrew with what >>8038183 said. Books adjust to your pace and videos dont.

The book we were given is Stewart's, which is honestly kind of weird to read. I read it for studying and then do the problem sets, but I feel like I would have a tough time learning from that book alone with I didn't have the lecture.

I tried Spivak's but I feel like I don't have the mathematical maturity for it. What else is there?
>>
>>8038201
Apostol and Spivak are the two most popular ones for self-study. I've had a room mate who has read Elementary Calculus by Kiesler (https://www.math.wisc.edu/~keisler/calc.html) but never read it myself. I would recommend Calculus by Morris Kline. It gives quite a few application-based problems and makes it easier to digest for some. Also as a chemistry major I feel partial toward Chang and Brown. I read them together and it gives a thorough understanding of general chemistry. I read and took notes on Chang and did the exercises for it first then went to Brown as the style of questions in Brown is a little different

what is the pause button
what is the rewind button

>>8038241
Don't be facetious.
>>
>>8038241
Wow, people this stupid generally don't kbow how to type. I guess you're a different type of stupid, maybe a special kind?
>>
>>8038151
That's a cute lecturer, would bang.
>>
/sci/ this is somewhat unrelated but how do I find out what period a particular transition metal belongs to?
>>
>>8038201
Tbh, Spivak's non-calculus related sections are typically the hardest for beginners (which are the first two chapters). If you're having a hard time then pick up a book for helping you with proofs.
>>
>>8038945
Any recommendations on proofs?
>>
>>8039375
Hammack Book of Proof is typically recommended as its free in PDF form
