I was really pleased to find it on board the space station. It had been up there since 2001. It has had 70,000 world tours! That guitar has been around the world seventy thousand times.

That your guitar, is it still up? No, it belongs to the space station and it's been up there, and it's still up there now. It is part of our psychological support, and it stays up on station for all the guitar astronaut musicians.

We are told a phone sells for six hundred dollars and loses 25% of its value per year. Write a function that gives the phone’s value ( v(t) ) so value is a function of time ( t ) years after it is sold. So pause this video and have a go of that before we …

Derivatives of sec(x) and csc(x) | Derivative rules | AP Calculus AB | Khan Academy

In a previous video, we used the quotient rule in order to find the derivatives of tangent of X and cotangent of X. What I want to do in this video is to keep going and find the derivatives of secant of X and cosecant of X. So, let’s start with secant of …

Thomas Hunt Morgan and fruit flies

Where we left off in the last video, we were in 1902-1903, and Mendelian genetics had been rediscovered at the turn of the century. Bovary and Sutton independently had proposed the chromosome theory, that the chromosomes were the location for where these …

Why do planets orbit? (With Dan Burns)
