  • Much more directly, but less poetically, the Latin word for distance is spatium. For this simple reason, we will use s0 (s nought) for the initial location on a path, s for the location on the path any time after that, and Δs (delta s) for the space traversed going from one location to the other -- the distance

  • The last few seconds of the video doesn't make sense the way he explained it. If we assume + is east and - is west, then if the problem were west, we'd have a negative in the numerator and a negative in the denominator, so it would produce a positive answer (east), when it should still be west.
