I think that in a former life, I must have been a fish. I won't say what kind, but certainly was not a goldfish. Oh, the freedom! I feel so free. I just wish I could be naked, but I can't be. But I just love that free.

Swimming for me is like a second form of life. It's something that, if I don't do for 2 weeks, I feel kind of like my body is not right. I just avoided the water all my life. I would say I really started swimming when I was about 60 years old.

Okay, let's open up. [Applause] [Music] Slowly, I never was a dancer, but I can dance in the water. I can turn upside down, I can spin, I can do all kinds of things that I cannot do on land.

We started dancing around like ET, the Williams, and do what she do, but then again, I think we better n Willam. She she never. [Music] Flip.

I think I will be on this team as long as they'll have me, and even when they don't want me, I can't imagine anything else that would get me up in the morning.

And [Music] out my next birthday, I'd be 93 years young, and I have been a member since 1986.

Black do [Music] crack. The best part about getting old: you've come to grips with many of the things that you used to worry about when you were younger, and you figured it out. That's what I love about being a little older; I've figured a lot of things out.

So we’re told that suppose a plus b is equal to zero. Which of these expressions equal a * b? And like always, pause the video and see if you can figure it out. These are actually pretty fun problems! All right, so let’s see if we can do a little bit of …

Types of Radiation

At the end of the 1800s, physicists were staggered to find there was radiation coming out of all kinds of things—just dirt and rocks. Uh, the very first time this was discovered was with a jar of uranium salts that was left in a drawer overnight, and in t…

Limits at infinity of quotients with square roots (even power) | AP Calculus AB | Khan Academy

Let’s see if we can find the limit as x approaches negative infinity of the square root of four x to the fourth minus x over two x squared plus three. And like always, pause this video and see if you can figure it out. Well, whenever we’re trying to find…

Transforming exponential graphs | Mathematics III | High School Math | Khan Academy

We’re told the graph of y = 2^x is shown below. All right, which of the following is the graph of y = 2^(-x) - 5? So there’s two changes here: instead of 2^x, we have 2^(-x) and then we’re not leaving that alone; we then subtract five. So let’s take them…
