“With regular help just about every student I have encountered makes significant improvements over time”. With this motivation, enthusiastic maths teacher and author Patrick Jones, has been creating short maths videos for over ten years; his vast archive is organised under nine categories: Algebra, Arithmetic, Calculus, Differential Equations, Discrete Math, Linear Algebra, Probability and Statistics, Trigonometry and Miscellaneous. The videos use a very straight-forward style so the viewer only has to watch and learn.
