The link I attached to this post is a youtube video about
finding the derivative of trigonometric functions. It shows step-by-step instructions of how to find the
derivative of the tan function.
What I really like is that the teacher reviews the derivatives of sin
and cos because as we already know tan = sin/cos. This is great because it helps the students better
understand the concept behind why the derivative is what it is instead of just
memorizing the answer. I used youtube a great deal when I was taking calculus
because the great thing about youtube that you can get in the classroom is you
can pause and rewind the video when you need clarification. When I was taking calculus I would
watch youtube while doing my homework so I could get step-by-step instructions
of how to do the problems. After
doing a few problems I was able to understand the different steps need to solve
the problems and this made me very successful in the class. I highly recommend youtube to anyone
struggling in math because they have videos for everything I can think of and
it really does help a great deal when it comes to understanding the different
steps of computation.
