This is an interesting approach to making videos in this day and age. That is I found it interesting that you taped yourself working with pen and paper instead of doing some fancy multimedia presentation. I actually like this a lot because people learning calculus are going to have to work things out the old fashioned way when they take classes in school-with a piece of paper and a pencil!
