Without doubts, you'd agree with me that many students preparing for Mathematics at O'level and undergrad really found it challenging. One of the reasons is the way mathematics is being taught. Another challenge is the use of complex terms to explain the concept. I still recall my experiences at High School .

I came across a channel where O'level mathematics topics are being taught and explained in simple English (simple accent) and Yoruba and I think it is a something our brothers preparing for those exams might find beneficial too.

I found the following topics have been covered in the series already and others are still ongoing:

- Number base systems
- Modular Arithmetic
- Indices
- Logarithms
- Series and Sequence (AP and GP)
- Sets
- Calculus
- Statistical analyses made easy
- Complex numbers etc.

I think all science subjects we ran away from should be taught and explained in our mother's tongue. What do you think?

I agree with you.
Please can you provide the channel, I am still battling with mathematics. Just as a hobby

COMPLEX NUMBERS THE EASY WAY

Apart from the natural numbers, integers, rational numbers, irrational numbers, and real numbers, are you aware of complex numbers? Also, have you ever wondered what the square root of a negative number (say square root of -1) would be? Do you know you will get a mathematical error even if you type it on your calculator? Try it! Ha ha . Do you see that?
In this series, I explained some topics on complex numbers from scratch.

Correlation test explained in Yoruba - Pearson's correlation coefficient by hand, excel & calculator


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8a7tdxQ_8pk

In this video, I explained (in Yoruba) how to calculate the correlation coefficient (r) using hand, excel, and calculator. In the first part of the video, I briefly reviewed the correlation coefficient and some of its types, such as the Pearson correlation coefficient and how to use its formula to obtain the relationship types (positive, negative, and zero) between two numerical variables under consideration. The video is concluded with step-by-step guides to calculating correlation coefficients using hand, excel, and calculator.
