they're a bit rough on vi hart and numberphile as being 'math lite' and all about pictures whereas they are all about the rigour by animating their proof. the obvious counter-argument is that vi and numberphile are working on 'inspiring' people about maths and letting the formalism follow. btw i don't agree that pictures aren't proofs, they're not everything but they're a good scaffold in many situations.
- otisbramsay99 12y agoHi Jgamman. I agree! Pictures are very good schematics at leading proofs into the right direction. Tons of examples: Monotone Convergence Theorem and Bolzano-Weistrass. Best, Otis B. Ramsay '99
