- Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation
You thought we were all done with Newton, didn't you? You figured that three laws are enough for any scientist. Well think again! Newton was quite the champ, and his work with gravity was revolutionary. I mean, the guy invented calculus so that he could do his work on gravity. So when he INVENTED CALCULUS, he did it just so that math could exist that was complicated enough to do stuff that was more important than inventing calculus. Think about that for a while. Then watch this. Then think about it again.

12 min - The Second Law of Thermodynamics: Heat Flow, Entropy, and Microstates
What the heck is entropy?! You've heard a dozen different explanations. Disorder, microstates, Carnot engines... so many different wordings and interpretations! Really, they are all related, so let's go through a few different formulations of the second law and ways of interpreting it. It's hard to understand, but who doesn't like a challenge?

11 min - Reacting to a Bunch of Gaia Brainrot For Your Amusement
Click here: https://boot.dev/?promo=PROFESSORDAVE and use my code PROFESSORDAVE to get 25% off your first year of boot.dev.
Gaia is a treasure trove of the most insane pseudoscientific nonsense one could ever hope to come across. Crystal healing, magical ancient civilizations, psychic bullshit, you name it. So why not watch a bunch of it and laugh our asses off together?

2 hr 16 min - The First Law of Thermodynamics: Internal Energy, Heat, and Work
In chemistry we talked about the first law of thermodynamics as being the law of conservation of energy, and that's one way of looking at it, but physicists like doing math more than chemists do, so let's talk about the first law in terms of an equation. You like equations by now, don't you? You should!

8 min - Homogeneous Differential Equations and Bernoulli Differential Equations
We have covered three classes of first-order differential equations, those being separable, linear, and exact. There are just two more to go over, those being homogenous and Bernoulli differential equations. What are these, how do we solve them, and what can we do with them? Let's find out!

17 min - Imperfect Mood for Third and Fourth Conjugation Verbs in Latin
With our new understanding of fourth conjugation verbs in the present tense, we are now ready to apply some other tenses to this conjugation. Let's start with the imperfect!

6 min - The Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics: Thermal Equilibrium
You've heard of the laws of thermodynamics, but did you know there are actually four of them? It's true, and since they already had laws one, two, and three, but then wanted to formulate another more fundamental one, the number right before one is zero so that's what they called it! Also, "zeroth" is fun to say. Let's say it together.

6 min - Hydroformylation of Alkenes
We learned about syngas already, so let's check out another application for it, the hydroformylation of alkenes. This forms important aldehydes which can be reduced to alcohols. Let's talk about catalysts, the mechanism, applications, and more!

9 min - Uniform Circular Motion and Centripetal Force
Enough of this moving in straight lines business, let's go in circles! Circular motion may not be productive but it's super fun. Ferris wheels are fun. Yes they are, don't be a spoilsport. Roller coasters are fun too. And merry-go-rounds. And learning about centripetal force. Look, I don't understand why you're resisting so much, we are talking about a freaking amusement park. Fine, be that way, I'll go by myself. You stay here and learn this math!

About Professor Dave Explains
From the publisher's feed
Welcome! I have a knack for explaining stuff and I want to share some knowledge with you.I received a BA in chemistry from Carleton College, and performed graduate studies in both synthetic organic…
chemistry and science education at Cal State Northridge, receiving an MA in the latter. Prior to this I taught for about a decade in various high school and undergraduate settings, specializing in organic chemistry but also teaching general chemistry, physics, and biology.This channel is for students at the high school and undergraduate level, but it is also for members of the general public who just want to know more about the world and how things work. My goal is to increase science literacy in our society, so please share these tutorials with anyone that you think might enjoy them.
