Documentary Film is a broad category of visual expression ...Knowledge comes in different ways through our five senses. Hearing, watching, touching, smelling and tasting are the only doorways to the outer world. The wise men say that if something is not truly experienced with all our five senses, the experience will be partial, not total…If we follow that analogy, gaining knowledge through several senses simultaneously is better than through just one...watching educational videos, in this case documentaries, is really a total different experience than educating only on books…Watch free, streaming, online documentary films and movies.

Most maths students would already know about WolframAlpha as our lecturer regularly accesses it. This scoop goes to a video which explains the wider (eg Sciences) uses for it. For those doing maths or sciences, this resource is unbelievably useful. I'm not sure I would be understanding my maths subjects without it. I use it for double checking my answers (then you can go back through your working knowing there is a problem in there somewhere), for checking rules that I've sort-of forgotten, graphing problems to give me a rough idea of where I'm supposed to be heading with a problem.
Generally I find it is very reassuring to have it there - I don't freak out when I get stuck, because I know I can usually get some tips in my working out by dissecting a problem into manageable chunks and running those chunks (e.g. differentiation) through the engine. I can see how maths students at school would benefit from this backup/safety net/ like have a tutor check your work. I think every maths student should know about it. (just like the Khan Academy!) |
