This guy is a professor, and he is by far one of the most entertaining professors I've ever come across. He teaches mathematics in such an hilarious way, it almost forces you to remember all the formulas and rules. He's very energetic and will certainly catch your attention.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BbaCM1S70bA)
He makes a lot of strange noises and will probably make you laugh, while educating you on graphing parabolas. You might have to do a bit of digging to find the videos where he's on the blackboard, but It's definitely worth it. Especially if you're having trouble with math, and need a little push. I figured I'd share this with all of you in the Imgur community because it's funny and educational.

This one is by far one of my favorites just because of the way he says "You can never divide by zero" at around 1:28 in his video "Kiss my Asymptotes, Graphing SEC(x) and CSC(x) First Examples" Video

TL;DR - Weird dude teaches math.

Yeah no, you can teach math without being this annoying.
RepostFromLastWeek
Yep. I struggled hard to get to the 'never divide by zero part' and then I just had close it.
PhooZzy
His math is at most useful for economy students, not STEM. The sounds he makes are cringe inducing. Flashy =/= good
JustSayingYouHaventSeenMeAndBatmanInTheSameRoomBefore
I couldn't make it through one of his videos, he's just a massively arrogant cunt.

He should have kept the beard

He was my math college professor in cal poly pomona, he was awesome!
UserSleepy
This guy was a professor? This seems like it would be a very strange class.
waitwtf
All I remember from math was the "Ferguson fantastically fun factor box" from 9th grade. Not its purpose... Just the name...
Anon0214
He is fucking obnoxious.
JupitersWitch
Too bad, because he's kinda cute.
Anon0214
I was expecting him to actually be funny, not outright insulting. Toddlers don't even do calculus.

Am I the only one who thinks he looks like an entirely different dude with the beard & macklemore-ish haircut?

He's kinda hot. If I had a teacher like that I'd have to try hard to fail his class

A groomed beard and a haircut from sometime in the last decade can help a lot of dudes.
TotinosPizzaRolls
I wish i could grow a beard to groom
SuburbanMeerkat
Groomed beards are like makeup for some dudes. Mine helps my jawline
IfYouJustReadThisYouAreNowGay
I really, really do not like this guy's teaching methods. If you want real math instruction check out Professor Leonard on YouTube.
IfYouJustReadThisYouAreNowGay

Yeah Im in calculus II and I was trying to look at this guys videos from like an 11th graders perspective and it would just be nonsense...

Dot because my math skills are subpar at times. Thanks!

There's an iOS app for it as well; not sure about Android. Super easy to drop in for as many lessons as you like!

As long as you don't shave it only to redraw it yourself, it's ok. xD

I find people who excel at maths somehow magical and great. Got expelled from two schools for failing the class.

talenphillips
For basic concepts, watch Khan Academy. For "how to solve this type of problem" watch PatrickJMT.
talenphillips
Ideally, watch both, attend lecture, and read your textbook. By the time your done, homework will be stupidly easy.
IfYouJustReadThisYouAreNowGay
https://www.youtube.com/user/professorleonard57 This guy is WAY better. You'll thank me later.
Williciousness
Look up Khan Academy. It's completely free and has everything from kindergarten to university.

PleaseAMArelatedtomachining
If your'e looking to practice or need to brush up on a particular skill, the BEST online mather teacher in my opinion is patrickjmt.com
PleaseAMArelatedtomachining
hundreds of videos on all levels of math
talenphillips
The absolute best is using patrickjmt and Khan Academy. Khan gives lectures. Patrick gives recitations. Use both, and the homework is easy.

Broken08
I will never understand our education system's insane love with crazy advanced math. Literally 1% of people need calculus for a job
NMlove
I think it is still good for your brain to have learned how to do math, even if you don't use it every day.
Broken08
I agree to an extent. But I'm having trouble explaining to my kids why they need to use a tangent and cosign instead of welding or cooking
JupitersWitch
They need to learn what they have an interest in. If calculus is part of their chosen profession they need to learn it. That's all.

Are blackboards black again? I feel so happy about this.
soosaisteven
Now they are ex President boards...!!
QuirkyWallace
If ASMR is a legit thing, I think the sound of chalk on blackboard is my ASMR. The exact opposite is scratching the blackboard.
escalinci
Once you go white, you sometimes go back.
adamantos
That's kind of a strange thing to be happy about. May I ask why you feel so strong about this?

My college uses still uses them. Although that might be because their part of the buildings structure at this point

I don't think it is an actual blackboard. He is writing with pen markers on it. On my mobile it also looks rather dark green than black.
williteverstop
I find the markers more interesting than the board honestly, but the contrast is what caught my eye most.

Blackboards are great again

they're "coluored", you insensitive fuck!

Not where I work. They are either white or green.

Omg Karen, you can't just ask if blackboards are black again!

Blackboards have always been black
wilhelmsen
At my school, college and university they were green

Get the board wet and it turns black.
quantummaster
Get it wet and it turns completely useless.

That sir would be a greenboard
AlkeneThiol
The word blackboard is used to mean any chalkboard with a vaguely dark surface
wilhelmsen
It actually said blackboard in the corner :/
samvimesbootstheory
I worked on a brand new school building this summer. 2 or 3 whiteboards and a smart TV for every room. Sorry.
tomyironmane
Blackbords are nice cos you know when you're low on chalk. Whiteboards are not so forgiving.
isvara
How you know you're low on chalk: SCREEEEEEEE
NEClamChowderAVPD
My math teacher had a smart board that you just needed one of those tablet pens to write on it. That's the worst description possible, I kno
MosesSupposesHisToesesAreRosesButMosesSupposesErroneously
Not so smart for when they are used by nit so smart people who think it's a white board and just write on it like normal. Ink sticks
shrekisourogrelord
Smart boards
NEClamChowderAVPD
I tend to overthink things. Leaving it at smart board probably would've been sufficient.
cogs
Chalkboards. Blackboard is a "racist term" (not kidding, I was told this in instructor training). Same with whiteboards & flip charts. (1/2)
bingotown
That is so effin stupid. Blacktop, black beans, what's next?
cogs
"Beans of color", if you please. ;)
merus
As someone who's sensitive to problematic language, that is some bullshit.
cogs
Whiteboards are VAPs (Visual Aid Panels) and flip charts are "easel & newsprint". This is all from 1986, no less.
fudgycurmudgeon
Wait what can be considered incorrect about "flip chart"?
WontonAddict
I'm guessing it's because Filipinos are called Flips? If that really is the reason then that's dumber than blackboard being racist.
cogs
That's it. Keep in mind I was a Navy instructor in the Pacific theater, so it may have been localized guidance.
NegentropyX
So we take a very old word like "black" and use it as an adjective of a group of people, and then the word becomes forever racist?
merus
Eh, it happened with 'gay'. Still, correct response is to keep the colour (in both senses) and avoid accidentally invoking the slur.
cogs
Apparently so. George Orwell managed an entire novel using that concept.

I've never seen a black blackboard, it just looks strange. I've only ever seen green blackboards and whiteboards
DamnItTrudyWhatAboutThePineapple
Likewise, so I painted a blackboard on one of the walls in the kitchen. :)
AstroFizX
Picture please. And what paint did you use?
DamnItTrudyWhatAboutThePineapple
I'll take one tomorrow in the day. It was a paint spesifically for blackboards. I just sanded the wall a bit and double-coated it.
DamnItTrudyWhatAboutThePineapple
You can find it in any store that sells paints, ask for a chalkboard paint and be sure to get the black one
TanithRosenbaum
Blackboards have always been black. They went into the underground during the invasion of the whiteboards. (cont)
isvara
What about when they were green?
TanithRosenbaum
That's the ones who survived the purge the whiteboards did. What they saw during the purge was so nauseatingly bad they turned green.
TanithRosenbaum
Now that they've assembled considerable forces they've started fighting, and they're finally liberating the lecture halls, one at a time. ;)
Nobody7713
Too bad they make awful sounds that send shivers up my spine.
TanithRosenbaum
That's their battle cries. They wake up those who were numbed by the intoxicating fumes emanated by whiteboard pens.
flyingtoast27
I'm so sorry, blackboards, you're so misunderstood
flyingtoast27
They only want to socialize, but I don't think they should
