(short lil post this time)
I’ve finally finished Professor Leonard’s Calculus 1 course on YouTube, and I need to admit that this guy is nothing short of a perfect teacher. Never have I seen a teacher with such a clear, informative, and meticulous style of teaching.
All of this might sound like a complete exaggeration, but mind you, Calculus 1 is miles more rigorous and covers topics in much greater detail compared to a high school course like MCV4U. For someone to teach all of that, and most importantly get you to understand it on a conceptual level, is absolutely incredible. I originally never thought I’d ever want to go through Calculus 2, but now that I’ve actually finished everything that Calculus 1 has to offer, it really just seems like the sensible decision to do. Especially when such a great teacher is teaching it.
School’s starting up in a little over a week, and I hope Professor Leonard’s statistics course will be a huge help when it comes to Data Management as well.

This somehow happened by sheer coincidence, but Professor Leonard’s first upload in over three years came out a little over an hour after I originally wrote this blog post. It’s almost surreal to see him post something after all this time, and I’m glad to finally see him return to teaching. He’s a big reason why I started to love math this past summer, and I’d recommend him to anyone with even a slight interest in learning math.
