November 13, 2012Vector addition including a boat example (MathsCasts)Introduction to "head to tail" vector addition in the geometric sense. This is then applied to an example of working out a boat's velocity relative to land given the velocity of the current and the velocity of the boat relative to water are both known....more9minPlay
November 08, 2012Determining linear (in)dependence (MathsCasts)We investigate the linear dependence or independence of a set of 3 vectors in 3 dimensions. We show how the determinant of a 3 by 3 matrix can assist in this process....more13minPlay
November 07, 2012Factorising by grouping Part 3 (MathsCasts)Examples of how to factorise expressions whose terms don't have any common factor (other than 1) by grouping pairs that do have factors in common....more6minPlay
November 02, 2012Factorising by grouping Part 2 (MathsCasts)Examples of how to factorise expressions whose terms don't have any common factor (other than 1) by grouping pairs that do have factors in common....more4minPlay
November 01, 2012Solving quadratic inequalities: example 2 (MathsCasts)We investigate inequalities involving quadratic expression and show how to use a combination of algebraic rearrangement and graph sketching to find solutions. The solutions are written as inequalities and as intervals....more12minPlay
October 31, 2012Laplace transform of an integral using reversal of order of a double integral (MathsCasts)We use the known result for Laplace transform of a derivative sF(s) to speculate about the result for the transform of an integral. We guess that it might involve division by s. This result is proven using a double integration method....more11minPlay
October 30, 2012Visualising solution of 3 linear equations in 3 unknowns (MathsCasts)Examples are given of the visual interpretation of systems of 3 simultaneous linear equations in 3 unknowns for the case where there is a unique solution, an infinite number of solutions, and no solutions....more6minPlay
October 29, 2012Converting a double integral from Cartesian to circular polar coordinates (MathsCasts)After a brief review of circular polar coordinates, a double integral is written using Cartesian coordinates. We draw the region of integration and describe it in terms of polar coordinates in order to rewrite the integral in polar coordinates....more12minPlay
October 26, 2012Finding the inverse of a 2x2 matrix (MathsCasts)Outlines the general formula for finding the Inverse of a 2x2, then goes through one simple example....more4minPlay
October 25, 2012Solving equations using logarithms (MathsCasts)The general definition of logarithms is given and the general principle of solving equations of from a^x=b is introduced. Two examples to apply this method are then given....more10minPlay
