The Standard Deviants: The Really Big World of Astronomy, Part 2

Physics is a system of models of nature according to which all phenomena are explained in terms of matter and force. Sound confusing? It doesn't have to be! Whether you need help with high school physics, need to review for a college physics class, or you're studying for the AP Physics Exam, this physics tutorial will help you understand the basics, such as Newton's Laws, the Law of Universal Gravitation, Kepler's Law and more.

Standard Deviants TV comprised material from the Standard Deviants home videos, edited into 25-minute episodes that aired on PBS. The series also included three episodes with new material on geography.

Does the idea of speaking in front of an audience fill you with dread? Relax! The Standard Deviants will help you overcome your fear of public speaking and help you deliver your message with style and flair! Using proven attention-getters, illustrations, and delivery suggestions, this DVD will help you organize your thoughts and present them in a clear and persuasive manner.

Revised 1998 version. Beginning with a review of functions and graphing, Part 1 jumps into the world of calculus by covering limits, vertical and horizontal asymptote, slopes and derivatives. The Standard Deviants take students by the hand and walk them through the most difficult topics with a relaxed and approachable format, step-by-step illustrations and plenty of examples.

Part 2 starts off with a quick review of graphing as well as sine, cosine and tangent. From there, this video charts new territory as we dive into amplitude, curves, double-angle formulas, sum-to-product-formulas and identities. Using computer graphics and animation, the Standard Deviants illustrate these complicated concepts far better than any blackboard!

Revised 1998 version. When you're ready to tackle advanced calculus, The Standard Deviants are ready to help! Part 2 covers applications of the derivative, antiderivatives and the definite integral. By combining a relaxed and enjoyable format with computer graphics and animation, the Standard Deviants enhance understanding and increase retention of difficult subjects. The key to a better grade in calculus is only a play button away.
