Deriving the Second Variation | Calculus of Variations Faculty of Khan 2021-08-05 | Derivation of the Second Variation of Variational Calculus. This is basically the analog to the second derivative in ordinary calculus, in that it allows you to determine the nature of your function for a particular functional (e.g. whether it's a minimum like a straight line minimizing distance on a plane, maximum etc.).As you'll see in this video: the derivation is more involved than my derivation for the regular Euler-Lagrange equation. Unlike Euler-Lagrange, the second variation is also much harder to apply as it's not a simple matter of solving a differential equation.Questions/requests?

Introducing Branch Points and Branch Cuts | Complex Variables Faculty of Khan 2020-04-02 | The video many of you have requested is finally here! In this lesson, I introduce #BranchPoints and #BranchCuts in the context of multiple-valued functions of #ComplexVariables.Specifically, I describe the natural log function as an example of a multiple-valued function requiring us to 'cut it up' to form a single-valued function which is more amenable to integration.

Closed Curves and Periodic Curves | Differential Geometry 4 Faculty of Khan 2020-01-11 | This video is a continuation of my series on Differential Geometry, and is a discussion about closed and periodic curves.In this video, I begin by discussing the difference between open and closed curves. I then move on to define important terms, such as a periodic curve, a closed curve, and the period of the curve. I then prove an important theorem that if a smooth regular curve is periodic, then its unit-speed reparameterization (i.e. reparameterization with respect to arc length per the previous video) is also periodic.Questions/requests?

Arc Length as a Parameter | Differential Geometry 3 Faculty of Khan 2020-01-10 | After a long hiatus from Differential Geometry, I return to this highly-requested series as promised! The New Year is upon us and there is no better way to celebrate than with a discussion on reparametrizing with respect to arc length.In this video, I begin by discussing how reparametrizing with respect to arc length is a valid choice, and why doing this procedure is important in the context of Differential Geometry (re: unit-speed curves). I then prove two theorems related to using arc length as the parameter and the resultant unit speed properties of the curve.Questions/requests?

Supercritical and Subcritical Pitchfork Bifurcations | Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos Faculty of Khan 2019-10-13 | Get your pitchforks out everyone, because this video is about pitchfork bifurcations, and is another continuation to the Bifurcations videos in my Nonlinear Dynamics series!There are two types of pitchfork bifurcations: supercritical and subcritical. Supercritical bifurcations are bifurcations in which varying a parameter changes the stability of one fixed point from stable to unstable, and causes two stable fixed points to appear. A subcritical bifurcation is the opposite, in that an unstable fixed point becomes stable, while two new unstable fixed points appear after crossing the bifurcation point.Questions/requests?

Transcritical Bifurcations | Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos Faculty of Khan 2019-09-29 | This video is about transcritical bifurcations, and is a continuation to the Bifurcations videos in my Nonlinear Dynamics series.Transcritical bifurcations are bifurcations in which varying a parameter causes two fixed points to fuse and become a half-stable fixed point, after which they switch stability. I also solve an example of a transcritical bifurcation, which ultimately reduces to its normal form.Questions/requests?

Rouches Theorem and the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra Faculty of Khan 2019-09-07 | In this video, I prove Rouche's Theorem, which relates the zeros of a function f(z) and the sum of two functions f(z) and g(z), assuming that certain conditions are satisfied.Following the proof, I apply Rouche's Theorem to an important example involving the proof of the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra.

The Argument Principle | Complex Variables Faculty of Khan 2019-08-23 | I'm finally back from my self-imposed exile, and there's no better way to celebrate my return than with a new video on the Argument Principle!In this lesson, I derive the Argument Principle in complex variables, which relates the winding number of a complex function with respect to a traversal over a contour C to the number of zeros and poles of that function inside C.This video will be particularly useful when it comes to proving Rouche's Theorem, which will be the next video coming up.

The Kramers-Kronig Relations | Complex Variables Faculty of Khan 2019-04-10 | In this video, I begin my new series on Advanced Topics in Complex Variables with a lesson on deriving the Kramers-Kronig relations. The Kramers-Kronig relations allow the determination of the real part of a complex function from the imaginary part and vice-versa.For this reason, they come up in many places in Physics that make use of complex variables. I begin this derivation by discussing the Cauchy Principal Value, setting up the assumptions, and performing an integration over a slightly modified semicircular contour. Then, I use the definition of the Principal Value, the polar representation of complex numbers, Jordan's Lemma, and Cauchy's Theorem to make some simplifications, after which I complete the derivation.You'll notice that a lot of this proof takes elements from multiple videos in my Complex Variables playlist, so I highly recommend you watch those so that you can best engage with the content presented in this video!Questions/Requests?

Tensor Transformation Laws: Contravariant, Covariant, and Mixed Tensors Faculty of Khan 2019-03-26 | In this video, I shift the discussion to tensors of rank 2 by defining contravariant, covariant, and mixed tensors of rank 2 via their transformation laws. After laying down these laws (get it?), I clearly describe the notation for a tensor of a particular rank. Specifically, I define a (p,q) tensor as a tensor with a contravariant rank of p (i.e. p indices in the superscript) and covariant rank of q (i.e. q indices in the subscript).Then, I define the transformation law for a general (p,q) tensor. I finish the video by defining a couple of simple tensor operations: summation, scalar multiplication, and the extension of the two: linear combination.Questions/requests?

Contravariant and Covariant Vectors | 2/2 Faculty of Khan 2019-03-24 | In this video, I define contravariant and covariant vector components. Here, we define contravariant and covariant vector components according to their transformation definitions. I also define invariants, which are quantities with intrinsic significance.I describe two examples of contravariant and covariant tensors. For contravariant tensors, I use the tangent vector of a parametric curve. For a covariant tensor, I use the example of a gradient vector of a scalar field.Questions/requests?

Contravariant and Covariant Vectors | 1/2 Faculty of Khan 2019-03-24 | In this video, I describe the meaning of contravariant and covariant vector components. As mentioned in a previous video, tensors are invariant under coordinate transformations. However, tensor components transform according to specific rules; they may either transform in a contravariant manner (i.e. the opposite manner as the basis vectors) or in a covariant manner (i.e. the same manner as the basis vectors).I discuss contravariant and covariant components and give some intuition of what they mean by using two examples. The next video will cover a more rigorous definition of contravariant and covariant vector components.Questions/requests?

Coordinate Transformations and Curvilinear Coordinates | Tensor Calculus Faculty of Khan 2019-03-23 | In this video, I go over concepts related to coordinate transformations and curvilinear coordinates. I begin with a discussion on coordinate transformations, after which I move on to curvilinear coordinates.I give 3 important examples of curvilinear coordinates: polar, cylindrical, and spherical.

The Vertebrobasilar Circulation | Neurology Faculty of Khan 2019-02-11 | Don't worry guys, I haven't crossed over to the Medicine side; this is just a video for a class assignment. It's also a pilot for an idea I have brewing in my head for my channel, but that idea's only for much later in the future. I'll resume with my Math and Physics stuff right after this (*cough* Time Dilation *cough*).This video covers the basics of the vertebrobasilar circulation, which supplies the brainstem, spinal cord, cerebellum, and the posterior part of the cerebrum. If you've been staring at your Anatomy book for the past 5 hours trying to make sense of things, then hopefully this video can explain the same concepts in just over 7 minutes. Questions/requests?

Arc Length and Reparameterization | Differential Geometry 2 Faculty of Khan 2019-02-09 | In this video, I continue my series on Differential Geometry with a discussion on arc length and reparametrization. I begin the video by talking about arc length, and by deriving the arc length formula for a parametrized curve. Then, I discuss the ideas of speed and unit-speed curves, which are quite important in Differential Geometry.I then move on to a discussion on reparametrization. I define reparametrization, give a short example to provide necessary context, and then finish the video by defining regular and singular points on a curve.Questions/requests?

Basic Linear Algebra Concepts for Tensors Faculty of Khan 2019-02-09 | In this short video, I go over some very basic concepts in linear algebra that will be relevant to tensors later on in the series. These include Linear Transformations and General Transformations. I finish the video with the Chain Rule for Partial Derivatives (which will also come in handy in the future) expressed in terms of Einstein Notation.My lecture series on Tensors assumed knowledge of Linear Algebra, so this should be a fairly elementary review for most people. Nonetheless, in my effort to be as self-contained as possible, I made this 'detour' video just in case people needed it. In any case, we have the foundation necessary to tackle the actual Mathematics of Tensors, starting from the next video in the series.Questions/requests?

Introducing Special Relativity and the Relativity of Simultaneity Faculty of Khan 2019-01-08 | In this video, I begin a new series on Special Relativity and discuss the Relativity of Simultaneity. Special Relativity is based on two postulates: 1) That the Laws of Physics hold in all inertial reference frames, and 2) That the speed of light is constant in all inertial reference frames.I discuss these postulates, as well as their implications. Then, I define events and give an especially pertinent (and spicy) example with the Youtube Rewind video of 2018, after which I finish the video with an explanation of the relativity of simultaneity. This concept will be re-visited in future videos when I go over spacetime diagrams, but this should be a good introduction.This series should be a good companion to my concurrent Tensor Calculus and Differential Geometry series (I'm going to upload the next videos on these next!) - which should serve as a nice prelude to General Relativity.

Laplaces Method and the Stirling Approximation Faculty of Khan 2018-12-31 | In this video, I begin with a discussion on Laplace's Method. Laplace's Method is a technique used to approximate the integral of the exponential of a large number times a function with a unique global maximum.Here, I describe the assumptions underlying the application of Laplace's Method. This method also comes in handy when deriving the Stirling formula using the definition of the Gamma Function, which is what we do in the second part of this video.Questions/requests?

The Geodesic Problem on a Sphere | Calculus of Variations Faculty of Khan 2018-12-03 | In this video, I set up and solve the Geodesic Problem on a Sphere. I begin by setting up the problem and using the Euler-Lagrange Equation to determine the equation of the geodesic on a sphere. Then, I take a quick detour and explain the concept of a great circle, which is formed by the intersection of a plane passing through the center of a sphere and the sphere's surface.I finish the video by showing that the geodesic on a sphere carries the exact same form as the great circle. This leads to the conclusion that the curve representing the shortest distance between two points on a sphere is an arc on the great circle connecting those two points.Questions/requests?

How to Integrate Fourier Integrals | Complex Variables Faculty of Khan 2018-11-05 | In this video, I demonstrate the technique of performing improper Fourier integrals using the methods of Complex Variables. The technique involves setting up a semicircular contour, and using a combination of the Residue Theorem and Jordan's Lemma to eventually compute the integral.I begin by explaining the 5-step process in solving problems involving a Fourier integral (i.e. when you're integrating f(x)*cos(ax) or f(x)*sin(ax)) with infinite limits. After explaining the process, I apply it to a simple example problem.Questions/Requests?

The Stirling Approximation: a 5-minute Derivation! Faculty of Khan 2018-10-29 | In this quick video, I use the definition of integration/Riemann sums to derive the Stirling Approximation or the Stirling Formula, which is a way to approximate the factorial of a large number.There are multiple ways to derive the Stirling Formula; I've just shown one of the simple ones here. The drawback is that this is a less powerful derivation; perhaps this could be a hint for a more rigorous proof in a later video???Special thanks to James Mark Wilson for suggesting this video!Questions/Requests?

Jordans Lemma Proof | Complex Variables Faculty of Khan 2018-09-23 | In this video, I prove Jordan's Lemma, which is one of the key concepts in Complex Variables, especially when it comes to evaluating improper integrals of polynomial expressions which also have either sine or cosine multiplying them.I begin by proving Jordan's Inequality, which then leads nicely into the proof of Jordan's Lemma.

Introducing Bifurcations: The Saddle Node Bifurcation Faculty of Khan 2018-08-31 | Welcome to a new section of Nonlinear Dynamics: Bifurcations! Bifurcations are points where a dynamical system (e.g. differential equation) undergoes a significant change in its dynamical behaviour when a certain parameter in the differential equation crosses a critical value.In this video, I explain saddle node bifurcations. These are bifurcations in which varying a parameter causes the appearance of a half-stable fixed point, followed by two fixed points from nothing. I discuss bifurcation diagrams, bifurcation points, and describe the concept of normal forms.Questions/requests?
