new calc notes! this stuff isn’t that bad (i say now)

10.13.19 // a few pages of my calc notes

Calculus ( I, II, III):

Professor Leonard : This guy is a GOD. I think I showed up to 2 calc classes all semester (the first intro, and then exam review lmao) but I just watched his videos and passed calculus with a pretty decent grade. His videos are FULL LENGTH lectures and he actually explains the concepts with the assumption that you know nothing before hand, which is really hard to find since most youtubers assume you know related concepts before hand. Trust me on this. Just binge this guy.  Plus he looks like Superman

Patrick JMT : Really good for short length videos. Focuses on a small specific concept in each video. I often find myself searching up how to solve xyz type of problem and Patrick just gives you a quick 2-5 min video explaining how to solve that question. No BS. But I’d recommend going to Leonard^ first to understand the basic concept.

These two are the only guys you’ll need for calc- trust.

Physics

Micheal Van Biezen: He’s such a grandpa awww  His physics playlists are bomb - has one for mostly every physics chapter you’ll encounter in first or second year engineering. Also his style of teaching is like a grade school teacher and he kind of reminds me of Bob Ross idek it just warms my heart to learn from this guy.

JAVA/ Programming/Algothrims and Data Structures:

Abdul Bari: This guy goes at a slow pace but I swear to god nobody in my class understood time complexity (Big Oh notation) and the only reason I knew how to solve those questions on the test was because of this dude. Thank you Abdul. Seriously.

Micheal Sambol: I owe this kind of cute boy so much. His videos are all titled as “binary search trees in 3 minutes” etc - he explains the concept in detail, with so much clarity in just a few minutes.

randerson112358: Amateur video maker but really quick to explain concepts if you’re cramming the night before or morning of the exam. Ngl, im kind of attached to his little whiteboard videos.

Thermodynamics: 

learnthermo.com: So technically this is cheating cuz its not a youtube channel but this website is the only thing I used to get through my thermo class. Each topic (eg. second law of thermodynamics/ refrigerants and turbines etc) is broken down into a series of lessons and each lesson is broken down into 10-20 pages. Very easy to navigate. PLUS practice questions. OMG so many practice questions.

Heres a bonus link to a pdf workbook that basically summarizes all of thermodynamics into one page per chapter cheatsheets and then has tons of practice problems WITH STEP BY STEP SOLUTIONS at the end of the doc: thermo workbook pdf

Materials Science: 

Video 1 and Video 2 from The Organic Chemistry Tutor are a crash course intro to basic unit cell/lattice/BCC/FCC/general cubic structures and calculations. I’ve found that there aren’t many other videos for materials science since mostly you need to memorize how to solve each type of question. I can upload my own notes for this if theres a demand for it so lmk.
