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!

    Avi Loeb is a Fraud Now

    Avi Loeb is a Harvard astronomer turned pseudoscience-peddling fraud. Since 2017 he's been spewing horseshit about how everything is aliens when it definitely isn't, just to sell a bunch of books to credulous laypeople. Predictably, when the scientific community politely pushes back on his bullshit, he throws a toddler tantrum. I wonder what will happen if someone exposes him in a not so polite manner? Let's find out.

    Italian Vocabulary: In the Hotel

    If you're going to travel in Italy, you will probably be staying in hotels. Therefore, you may want to brush up on some vocabulary that is related to all the things you will find in your hotel room, as well as phrases you may hear, or need to say, at the front desk. Italians will appreciate the effort if you speak to them in their own language, especially those in the service industries!

    Advanced Strategy for Integration in Calculus

    Our bag of tricks for integration is complete! Now it's time to put all our knowledge to use and evaluating integrals without any context. What strategy should we use in each case? Watch me work through them or pause the clip on each example and give them a try! Remember, we know how to use the substitution rule, integration by parts, and integration by trigonometric substitution. We may have to do other clever manipulations too. You can do it!
