3blue1brown is awesome, some videos are extremely interesting and useful but others are too specific imho, like, I love his videos explaining general concepts about algebra, analytics, machine learning, quantum mechanics and blockchain, but not really his videos about a particular obscure mathematical problem, especially if the same obscure thing recurs multiple times (say, something involving pi and lighthouses).
But glad to hear there won't be "b r i l l i a n t . o r g" (made hard to copypaste on purpose since I've no interest in encouraging them due to spamming too many of videos I watch) interruptions in the videos anymore
I think 3blue1brown's formula is amazing for laying the fundamentals of advanced mathematics. But it's not needed for deep diving into specific topics. And there are more than enough advanced core topics remaining to cover instead.
- thicknavyrain 8y agoThat's really interesting. I found that I loved, similar to the occasional video numberphile does, watching Grant explain how one might realistically solve an interesting problem. A particular favourite is the one on the Inscribed Square Problem, which, although introducing some elements of topology, engages me more from the get go. He poses a problem and my curiosity keeps me engaged until the very end, it feels a bit like a detective story, I get the same satisfaction as some of the better Sherlock Holmes stories where in the course of reading I think "Damn, I could have come to that conclusion if I'd paid a bit more attention!". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AmgkSdhK4K8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AmgkSdhK4K8
