Professor Dave Explains

Professor Dave Explains

Welcome! I have a knack for explaining stuff and I want to share some knowledge with you.

I received a BA in chemistry from Carleton College, and performed graduate studies in both synthetic organic chemistry and science education at Cal State Northridge, receiving an MA in the latter. Prior to this I taught for about a decade in various high school and undergraduate settings, specializing in organic chemistry but also teaching general chemistry, physics, and biology.

This channel is for students at the high school and undergraduate level, but it is also for members of the general public who just want to know more about the world and how things work. My goal is to increase science literacy in our society, so please share these tutorials with anyone that you think might enjoy them. Happy learning!

    Practice Problem: Torque on a Mobile

    You had a baby! Hooray! Now it's time to stop building ramps and pulleys and it's time to start building baby stuff. You love astronomy so you decide to make a mobile of the solar system. But in order to get everything to balance out, we will have to talk about torque and weight. Do some calculations so you can make the best mobile this kid has ever seen!

    Graphing Conic Sections Part 2: Ellipses

    The next conic section is like a circle, but it's like someone stretched a circle out in a particular direction. It's the ellipse! These are very important in astronomy as most celestial objects follow elliptical paths. Let's learn all about ellipses and how to graph them.
