I like the numberphile series on youtube. I showed one in class where he explains how some infinities are bigger than others. My non-math-inclined students were able to follow it by watching several times, because they could see the entire process. They re-created the process themselves, rather than just trying to digest an explanation of an already-completed proof/ demonstration.
Infinity is bigger than you think

- mcphilip 13y agoI love Numberphile too and recently stumbled on Computerphile. The style is the same for both shows -- a passionate person explaining something reasonably complex. For instance, I like Computerphile's video on the evolution of character encoding and why UTF was developed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MijmeoH9LT4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MijmeoH9LT4
