Click here for link on a short documentary on the Khan Academy
A couple days ago, I was clueless about what taylor polynomials are.
After coming across a youtube video posted by a user in the name of khanacademy, not only were his teaching techniques effective, but I also became interested to find out who this voice in the video was.
The Khan Academy, founded by a Harvard Business School student Salman Khan, is non-profitable that hopes to provide education to everyone around the world. Most students around the globe find the videos useful for any misunderstandings about a particular school topic. The areas discussed include simple math addition to complex virus transmissions in the brain.
His disinterest in earning profits for himself yield the definition of someone whom we have discussed in class a couple weeks ago; a social entrepreneur. He is implementing his knowledge and expertise to bring about change in students’ lives. His willingness to educate the world is a motivation to learn better and seek help when needed. Ultimately, he empowers students to continue on believing in the value of education.
After watching his video, I understood what taylor polynomials are, but I also gained access to his many videos that I might have to use when studying for my finals this week.
This is good post to read. well done!
