What they won't teach you in calculus
A visual for derivatives which generalizes more nicely to topics beyond calculus. Thinking of a function as a transformation, the derivative measure how much that function locally stretches or squishes a given region.

5 Things You Were Taught Wrong in Elementary School | Compilation
When you’re learning about science for the first time, it can be easier to break things down into a simpler form, and you can end up with a few misconceptions about the world. But sometimes this is the first step to understanding that...

Inertial Mass
In this video Paul Andersen explains how inertial mass is defined and measured. When a force is applied to an object or a system it will accelerate. Using Newton's Second Law of Motion (F=ma) you can calculate the inertial mass.
