A bit complicated presentation, but I like this a lot.

The video seems best for students looking for a more intuitive understanding of the basic calculus concepts.

It seems best aimed at students looking to see a bit ahead to get the ideas of calculus before the classes they are taking reaches the concepts.

I found the detailed explanation of what is a derivative to work well. Then the idea of area being the reverse is given no motivation at all.

As a physics/math tutor, I like the idea of using the weight of paper to simplify integration. Though as an educator, the video paced rather slow for me. If I’m watching this for lesson ideas, I don’t need the time taken to go over each idea.

A (long) clear frontal lecture. Very classical, but it should be segmented.
