If I'd reach my hand up right now, I could probably catch ten back. We were literally surrounded; millions of bats about us, running into us. Unbelievable! It's so incredible! We have 20 million bats all coming out of a cave at the same time. Perhaps one keeps landing on my leg.

These young bats have to leap off, and they need to make it out without running into other bats or losing their way; otherwise, they're going to drop to the floor. On the floor outside of the cave are dozens of whip snakes just waiting for these bats.

All right, right in front of us, we have a snake. He's just... he saws, and he's leaving. Two snakes just fought over a baby bat. It fell down! 50% mortality rate with the pups. They have so many things they have to survive: there are snakes, there's hawks, there's owls. There's a whole ecosystem dependent on these bats.

The young bats that get caught in the cactus have to free themselves right away because if they are stuck there and impaled, they're gonna die.

Look! I made it! Yeah, they start pooping on us too. I didn't really realize where the shark was. As soon as I jumped in the water, I jumped right in front of the thing. I just see a shark with its mouth open.

Integration using completing the square and the derivative of arctan(x) | Khan Academy

All right, let’s see if we can find the indefinite integral of ( \frac{1}{5x^2 - 30x + 65} \, dx ). Pause this video and see if you can figure it out. All right, so this is going to be an interesting one. It’ll be a little bit hairy, but we’re going to w…

Limit of (1-cos(x))/x as x approaches 0 | Derivative rules | AP Calculus AB | Khan Academy

What we want to do in this video is figure out what the limit as ( x ) approaches ( z ) of ( \frac{1 - \cos(x)}{x} ) is equal to. We’re going to assume we know one thing ahead of time: we’re going to assume we know that the limit as ( x ) approaches ( 0 )…

The naturalization process | Citizenship | High school civics | Khan Academy

In this video, we’re going to discuss the naturalization process which non-citizens go through in order to gain their U.S. citizenship. Heads up that we won’t be talking about the eligibility requirements that non-citizens must meet or any of the challeng…

Treating systems (the easy way) | Forces and Newton's laws of motion | Physics | Khan Academy

So in the previous video, we solved this problem the hard way. Maybe you watched it, maybe you didn’t. Maybe you just skipped right to here and you’re like, “I don’t even want to know the hard way. Just show me the easy way, please.” Well, that’s what we’…

Dividing a whole number by a decimal on a number line

[Instructor] What we want to do in this video is figure out what two divided by 0.4 is, or two divided by 4⁄10. So why don’t you pause this video and try to figure out what it is. And as a little bit of a hint, think about two on the number line and thi…

After PMF: People, Customers, Sales by Mathilde Collin

Following on from Paul’s talk about some of the ways to think about becoming, or what it takes to become, or whether you might believe you might become a hundred billion dollar business, I am going to have a conversation with Mathilde, who is in the proce…
