FAQs about MathsCasts:How many episodes does MathsCasts have?The podcast currently has 598 episodes available.
January 24, 2013Pythagoras theorem (MathsCasts)Explains the concept of a right angled triangle and introduces pythagoras theorem....more3minPlay
January 23, 2013Compass directions: Part 1 (MathsCasts)We introduce the points of the compass and solve a simple example using distances and basic directions (N,S,E,W) to find resulting distance and angle....more11minPlay
January 17, 2013The trapezoidal rule (MathsCasts)The general principle of the trapezoidal rule of numerical integration is given. A specific example of applying it is then given....more12minPlay
January 16, 2013Reversing the order of integration of a double integral 3 (MathsCasts)Part 3 of 3. Continuation from part one, looking at increasingly complicated examples of reversal of integration order....more6minPlay
January 11, 2013Inverse functions: example 1 (MathsCasts)Gives the definition and conditions for the inverse of a function to exist, and then applies this to an example the case of finding the inverse of a one-to-one function....more8minPlay
January 07, 2013Binomial series: Part 3 (MathsCasts)We expand the binomial series for the case n = 1/2 to evaluate an approximation for the square root of 2. Convergence is discussed briefly then we deal with the case when the first term in the binomial expression is a constant other than one....more11minPlay
January 04, 2013Inverse functions: example 2 (MathsCasts)Gives the definition and conditions for the inverse of a function to exist, and then applies this to an example where the original function is not one-to-one and where the domain of f(x) hence needs to be restricted in order to define the inverse function....more9minPlay
November 16, 2012Vector subtraction including boat example (MathsCasts)Introduction to 'head to tail' vector subtraction in the geometric sense. This is then applied to an example of working out a boat's velocity relative to water given the velocity of the current and the velocity of the boat relative to land are both known....more10minPlay
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
