About this lesson
Here is another video in this General Maths series this time looking at Powers and Roots. What are powers? What are roots? Is there only the square root? There are lots of powers and lots of roots and this video does what it can to explain what they are and how to use them. There are lots of worked examples all backed by easy to understand and clear theory with a little humour thrown in for good measure.
