FAQs about MathsCasts:How many episodes does MathsCasts have?The podcast currently has 598 episodes available.
January 03, 2012Another 3x3 eigenvalue example (MathsCasts)We calculate eigenvalues of a 3 by 3 matrix....more10minPlay
December 09, 2011Three forms of a straight line in 3D (MathsCasts)This screencast shows the general method, together with an example, of finding the equation of a straight line in 3D in vector form, scalar parametric form and Cartesian form...more6minPlay
December 08, 2011Polar and cartesian curves (MathsCasts)This recording explains the relationship between Polar and Cartesian coordinates of a 2D curve. An example is then given of converting a polar equation into Cartesian form and an example is given of converting a Cartesian equation into polar form....more6minPlay
December 07, 2011Multivariate chain rule 2 (MathsCasts)Example of using the multivariate chain rule where z=f(x,y) and x and y are both functions of t....more5minPlay
December 06, 2011Intersection of a line and a plane (MathsCasts)Considering a line written in scalar parametric form and a plane written in form ax + by + cz = d, three examples investigate if and where line and plane intersect: in one point; the line lies on the plane; or line and plane are parallel and never meet...more6minPlay
December 05, 2011Equation of a plane given its normal and a point on it (MathsCasts)This recording starts by showing how the equation of a plane relates to its normal vector. An example is then done to show how this allows us to find the equation of a plane, provided we also know a point on the plane....more3minPlay
December 02, 2011Equation of a plane given a point and a line on the plane (MathsCasts)Given a point and a line on a plane, we find the equation of the plane.A second point on the plane is identified, and hence a vector on the plane. A normal vector to the plane is calculated using the vector product.The equation of the plane is then found....more8minPlay
November 30, 2011Curvature and radius of curvature (MathsCasts)An example of how to find the curvature and the radius curvature at a particular point of a curve where the equation of the curve has form y = f(x)...more5minPlay
November 29, 2011Converting a parametric curve to Cartesian form (MathsCasts)This screencast gives two examples of converting the parametric equations of 2D curves into Cartesian equations, and includes a discussion on the importance of considering any restrictions of the domain of the resulting Cartesian equations in each case....more5minPlay
November 28, 2011Angle between two planes (MathsCasts)This recording starts by giving the general formula for calculating the angle between two planes by finding the angle between their normal vectors. An example is then given to illustrate this....more5minPlay
