This assignment requires you to go to www.youtube.com [+] [+] to view videos that students (and others) have made about calculus. You should view the videos below, and search around for some of your own. For each video, write a paragraph (or two) that describes/explains the mathematical ideas contained in the video. Send your writing to me in the MyOpenMath Forum link above. Relate the ideas to things you have done in class this semester. Each video requires a paragraph or two of writing. For any video you find, give the title of the video and the URL which identifies it (so that I can watch them too).
All videos should be substantive/educational/mathematical, but they should also not be lecture/example-oriented. Look for fun/interesting clips, not the dry, boring ones. This means that while you can choose at least one other video on your own, it must be both substantive and non-lecture. Your task is to describe/explain the mathematics you see in the different videos.
You can earn up to 1% for each video you describe. You can use up to two videos from the list below, but after that, you must find any others on your own.
You may choose any TWO of these Videos:
“I Will Derive” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9dpTTpjymE [+] [+])
“The Derivative Song” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEhkBmHqGA8&feature=related [+] [+])
“Tom Lehrer Calculus (https://archive.org/details/lehrer watch to 4:15 … for lyrics, go to http://www.haverford.edu/astronomy/songs/lehrer/delta.htm)
“Calculus Rhapsody” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqwC41RDPyg [+] [+]
