Quanta Magazine is also funded by his foundation.
- markgall 2y agoGood point! Far and away the best popularization of recent results, at least in the eyes of a mathematician.
- max_ 2y agoEven the Numberphile YouTube Channel. He was very serious about improving maths education and actually did alot.
- rajnathani 2y agoQuanta is by the Simons Foundation, whereas the Numberphile YouTube channel is simply sponsored by them.
- 7thaccount 2y agoMan. That Numberphile episode on Fermat's Last Theorem with Simon Singh had me on the edge of my seat like I was as a child when Darth Maul pulled out that double-bladed lightsaber during Phantom Menace. I'm not a math major either.
- hnbear 2y agoI thought Numberphile is sponsored by Jane St. Another math focused quant firm.
- max_ 2y agoThey have many sponsors. Jim Discovered their channel, liked it and invited them to his New York Apartment for an interview. [1] From that time forward, all Numberphile videos have "Simons Foundation" at the end listed as a sponsor.
