Calculus: Single Variable Part 2 - Differentiation

Very explanative!

That course is much harder than function part 1

Thnk you for clearing the concepts of differentiation

Gives a new perspective on derivatives and the clear insight into how a simple calculator works

This is an extremely useful and informative course into which Dr. Ghrist has poured an enormous amount of energy, work, knowledge, and forethought. He is an exceptionally talented polyglot of both Mathematics and English, but I could have used additional explanations as to how to tackle the problems. I would have preferred it if solutions would have been provided for the quizzes and challenge problems. I believe that one learns calculus best this way, but Dr. Ghrist has become another excellent mentor that I have been fortunate enough to have in my quest to understand calculus.

Presentations are great, albeit some topics were neglected or were too short. Overall 8,5/10

interesting

When I encounter differentials in the future, I will think of the techniques and graphics that I learnt in this lessons as either a mental tool or a reference. The part 2 is as good as the first part 1 and I expect to this level of quality in more advanced chapters.

excellent

Thanks for offering this course!

Smart way of teaching, giving you the chance to learn new things with a very interactive way, enlarging your brain and synapses fire in it. The core home work is the best practice to what you have learnt in the lectures and do not be discouraged solving the challenging H.W., keep going and "think outside the box.", you will learn a lot.Thanks Prof. Ghrist, you are awesome.

Good in giving though-invoking concept and visualization of differentiation, chain rule, relative rate of change, as well as Newton's linear approximation.These corresponding demo example are illustrative and help us understand the main idea and underlying metaphor of differential operator "D" and symbol df/dx.In addition, the technique of domain change in differentiation by using exponent and logarithm and implicit differentiation is really powerful and useful.
