Negative Numbers

from Professor Dave Explains · host Professor Dave Explains

We figured out how to use numbers a long time ago, but then the concept of negative numbers came about. This is a much more abstract concept, because you can't have a negative amount of apples, or something like that. Nevertheless, negative numbers are ubiquitous in math, so we had better learn all about them!Watch the whole Mathematics playlist: http://bit.ly/ProfDaveMathClassical Physics Tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDavePhysics1Modern Physics Tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDavePhysics2General Chemistry Tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDaveGenChemOrganic Chemistry Tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDaveOrgChemBiochemistry Tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDaveBiochemBiology Tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDaveBioEMAIL► [email protected]► http://patreon.com/ProfessorDaveExplainsCheck out "Is This Wi-Fi Organic?", my book on disarming pseudoscience!Amazon: https://amzn.to/2HtNpVHBookshop: https://bit.ly/39cKADMBarnes and Noble: https://bit.ly/3pUjmrn Book Depository: http://bit.ly/3aOVDlT Learn more about your ad choices.
