- The Beginnings of Human Civilization
For a long time humans were hunter-gatherers. But at a certain point, human civilization began to flourish. This involved large cities of thousands of people, social stratification, trade specialization, and record-keeping. Agriculture was a big part of this transition as well. So what were the first human civilizations and what can we say about them from the standpoint of archeology?

12 min - Laplace Transforms Part 1: Solving Differential Equations
There is another important tool when it comes to solving differential equations, and that is the Laplace transform. This is an operator that we can apply to both sides of a differential equation in order to solve it in a fairly involved way. Let's get a closer look!

12 min - Kyivan Rus' Part 2: Vladimir the Great and Yaroslav
We talked about the foundation and expansion of Kievan Rus, so now let's move forward and talk about some of its most historic rulers. The son of Prince Sviatoslav was named Vladimir the Great, who mass converted the citizens to Christianity. His son Yaroslav succeeded him, and established the first Slavic code of laws. Let's learn all about them!

It's time for enolate chemistry! Protons alpha to a carbonyl are so sassy. That's what allows for Aldol Condensation to occur.

8 min - Michael Button: Rising Pseudoarcheology Fraud
It's time to expose another worthless pseudoarcheology fraud! With some obvious targets out of the way, let's hit one of the newer rising stars, Michael Button. He's essentially a Graham Hancock clone. Same script full of lies, same accent, same demeanor, same everything. He seems to be hoping to be passed the torch, and Graham seems to approve. If you saw through toxic douchebags like Dan and Jimmy, but you were clinging to this guy as some kind of voice for truth, think again. Every video is jam packed with lies and deception. Let's debunk the crap out of his content, as well as his Joe Rogan episode.

5 min - Dark Matter and Dark Energy: Possibilities and Projections
We've all heard of dark matter and dark energy. But what are they? What do we know about them? Have we ruled out any possibilities? Why do we believe they exist in the first place? Let's talk about it!

17 min - Three-Dimensional Shapes Part 1: Types, Calculating Surface Area
Enough of this two-dimensional, stuck in one plane rubbish! The real world has three spatial dimensions! Technically more, but we very clearly interact with three all the time, so it's time to start talking about three-dimensional shapes like pyramids and prisms and cylinders and cones, and the characteristics they possess.

12 min - Ozonolysis
Ozonolysis? Ozone is in the sky, right? That thing that shields us from UV light? That's right friend, but ozone is also used in the lab to cleave carbon-carbon double bonds. Check it out if you don't believe me.

6 min - Adding and Subtracting Polynomials
We just learned what polynomials are, but that's not going to be enough! We have to learn how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide them. Let's start with the easy operations, addition and subtraction!

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.
