Hi, I'm Anshul and I'm a 9th grader who loves math! 👋 Maybe a bit too much. I'm happy to help with all sorts of math. I honestly love what I do here, and every learner's success keeps me going! 😌 📈📚📖 || 𝐈 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡... || 📖📚 📈 | 𝔁 | Algebra 1 | 𝓯 | Algebra 2 | 𝞹 | Geometry | ∑| Precalculus | Δ | Calculus 1 / AP Calculus AB | ∫ | Calculus 2 / AP Calculus BC | ω | Calculus 3 / Vector Calculus | 𝕚𝕓 | IB Math Applications and Analysis (SL/HL) | 𝓐 | A/AS Level Maths (Normal/Further) (╭ರ_•́)📚 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈'𝐦 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐧...📚(•̀_ರ╮) I'm nearing the end of Honors Vector Calculus and Linear Algebra, and I'm just getting started with Real Analysis. I'm using "A Textbook of Vector Calculus" and "Analysis I" (the latter by Terence Tao :D) ╰┈> 𝐄𝐱𝐭𝐫𝐚 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐦𝐞...<┈╯ I hate sports, like watching cat videos when I'm not feeling my best and I always like a good math challenge 😁

SESSION 1

Office Hours

Fri 1:30 PM - 2:45 PM UTCOct 17, 1:30 PM - 2:45 PM UTC

Partial Derivatives
We'll understand it both by looking at graphs and algebra, and we'll also work through practice questions on a whiteboard. We'll also master the (multivariable) chain rule of differentiation. We'll finish with a review of dot and cross products, and the equations of 3D lines and planes so we can come back to that in our next session about tangent planes and normal lines!
