Today I talk about some of the things happening in my life and at the studio! No big reveals, aside from a scratch on my forehead from practice. Keepin' it real. :)
In this episode of the Taylor Series, we explore the concept of being able to hear fractions! That is, if you were to take a pipe and use it to generate a tone, then we can cut other pipes to fractions of that first one and get other tones -- that together make up recognizable cords and scales!

The Taylor Series aims help people love math. Whether you're a student in a math class or someone who has ever asked the question, "What was the big deal about Calculus?" there's something here for you.Also, I named this the Taylor Series after the mathematical construct created by James Gregory and formally introduced by Brook Taylor ... and I picked this one in particular because my name is Derrick Taylor. :)

This is just a quick Vlog! Nothing of major consequence here, just a bit of background of what's been going on recently.

So, my TEDx talk was processed and released! I'm very happy to have been a part of the event. If you want to see it, here's a link!

I also released a "Fun" video last week about multiple types of infinities. Hopefully you enjoy it. :)

However, I'm going to focus more on the "nuts and bolts" videos for a bit -- that is, the Discovery and Reference videos that I'd consider appropriate for someone wanting to learn or remember a particular topic.
Note: My AC is out and my camera decided to focus on the monitor behind me, so ... who knows. :) I'll do better in the next Vlog, promise!

Can you divide by zero? The answer is ... no ... but it is a QUALIFIED no, and in this video, we will explore this question. Hopefully, we won't blow up the universe in the process.

Today, I wish to remember a great scientist and human being, Stephen Hawking, who has passed away today on Pi Day, 2018. He was my hero for a lot of reasons, and more than just his profound love and ability with physics, astronomy, and math. He was diagnosed with ALS when he was 21, and despite a 2-years-to-live prognosis, had a career that furthered humanity's understanding of the universe through the age of 76.
Stephen Hawking, you will be remembered, you will be missed, but you will be an inspiration to all of us, your life having been a testament to the human spirit.

There are a lot of reasons that people find math challenging. In this sequence of videos, I wish to help address some of those reasons.
Seeing others easily master topics we find hard can be daunting, but don't let that hold you back. You can do just about anything you set your mind to. The only person you should compare yourself against is your past self!
