This is why we NEED to Protect the Ocean

One area that you're particularly passionate about is the ocean. You and your son Mark co-founded Ocean X, which focuses on exploring, researching, and above all, protecting the ocean. What impact is the changing climate having on the ocean?

Um, beyond raising temperatures, tell us more about why you think the ocean's so important.

Well, the ocean is absorbing about 90% of the excess heat, and it's absorbing about 23% of the excess carbon that's being produced. So, it's important. It also has the effect of shifting sea currents and so on, so it's going to have a big effect.

The ocean is our biggest thing. It's twice the size of all land combined, and so it's ignored because it's just below the surface. But it has an enormous impact. Its health and the discovery of what's in the ocean is not only very important, but it's also very exciting.

However, it's being largely neglected. So, we're excited to help the exploration and bring it to the public's attention the way Jacques Cousteau did.

Symmetry of second partial derivatives

So in the last couple videos I talked about partial derivatives of multivariable functions, and here I want to talk about second partial derivatives. So, I’m going to write some kind of multivariable function. Let’s say it’s, um, I don’t know, sin of x * …

Least common multiple of polynomials | Mathematics III | High School Math | Khan Academy

So they’re asking us to find the least common multiple of these two different polynomials. The first one is (3z^3r - 6z^2 - 9Z) and the second one is (7Z^4 + 21Z^3r + 14z^2). Now, if you’re saying, well, what is the LCM? You’re familiar with least common…

Motion along a curve: finding rate of change | Advanced derivatives | AP Calculus BC | Khan Academy

We’re told that a particle moves along the curve (x^2 y^2 = 16), so that the x-coordinate is changing at a constant rate of -2 units per minute. What is the rate of change, in units per minute, of the particle’s y-coordinate when the particle is at the po…
