FAQs about MathsCasts I:How many episodes does MathsCasts I have?The podcast currently has 300 episodes available.
August 29, 2012The binomial series: Part 1 (MathsCasts)Positive integer powers of the binomial (a+b) are examined. It is shown how to expand the brackets to obtain a finite series using coefficients from the Pascal triangle. Later these coefficients are identified as the nCr coefficients....more12minPlay
August 27, 2012What's wrong? Differentiation with a variable in the exponent (MathsCasts)Shows two incorrect solutions to finding the derivative of (3x+5)^2x and discusses why they are incorrect. The correct approach is then explained....more9minPlay
August 24, 2012The multivariate chain rule: example 2 (MathsCasts)An example of using the multivariate chain rule, where in this case we are finding dz/dx given z = f(x,y) and y = y(x)....more6minPlay
August 23, 2012Second order differential equations: example 1 (MathsCasts)Example of solving a second-order linear ordinary differential equation with constant coefficients in the case where the auxiliary equation has a repeated root and the right hand side of the equation is a polynomial....more8minPlay
August 22, 2012Solving equations involving exponents (MathsCasts)A demonstration of how to tranpose the formula y=(ae^t+be^(-t))/(ce^t+de^(-t)) to make t the subject....more7minPlay
August 21, 2012Differentiating Trig Functions (MathsCasts)3 completed examples of differentiating trigonometric functions. Similar questions at the end for students to try themselves, solutions provided also....more5minPlay
August 20, 20122nd order differential equation initial value problem (MathsCasts)An example of solving a second order differential equation (where the right hand side is an exponential function), given specific initial conditions y(0) and y'(0) are also provided...more10minPlay
August 17, 2012Half-range Fourier series: Part 2 (MathsCasts)We continue the theme of half range series and examine how the integrations can be simplified using the symmetry of the function. Here we examine a half-range cosine series for a linear f(t)....more14minPlay
August 16, 2012Series, partial sums and convergence (MathsCasts)We state what is meant by a series, express series using the summation sign, define the partial sums and briefly discuss convergence and divergence giving examples....more10minPlay
August 15, 2012Simplifying expressions using logarithm laws (MathsCasts)Three basic laws of logarithms are introduced and two examples then demonstrate how these laws can be used to simply logarithmic expressions....more7minPlay
