FAQ : How do you make these animations?
Animations are mostly made in Apple Keynote which has lots of functionality for animating shapes, lines, curves and text (as well as really good LaTeX). For some of the more complex animations, I use the Manim library. Editing and voiceover work in DaVinci Resolve.

This Function Maps Any Interval to the Real Line (Conway's Base-13 Function)
Переглядів 70 тис.Рік тому
In this video we'll explore Conway's "Base-13 function" which maps any real interval to the real line. It is a function which is discontinuous everywhere, yet still has the intermediate value property: making it a counter example to the converse of the intermediate value theorem. #some3 FAQ : How do you make these animations?

Minimax Approximation and the Exchange Algorithm
Переглядів 14 тис.Рік тому
In this video we'll discuss minimax approximation. This is a method of approximating functions by minimisation of the infinity (uniform) norm. The exchange algorithm is an iterative method of finding the approximation which minimises the infinity norm. FAQ : How do you make these animations?

Pick's Theorem (From Euler's Planar Graph Formula)
Переглядів 6 тис.2 роки тому
In this video we'll discuss Pick's Theorem: probably the most famous theorem in lattice geometry. We'll use Euler's results from graph theory (namely, his planar graph formula) to prove this theorem. References and Notes: Ref. 1. This proof is given in full in Garbett (2010) - documents.kenyon.edu/math/GarbettJSenEx2011.pdf Also see Ref. 1 for proof that any primitive lattice polygon can be div...
A really Satisfying Proof about Triangles on a Lattice.

In this video we'll discuss an important result in lattice geometry: All primitive lattice triangles have and area of 1/2. Incidentally, the method of proof shows that all primitive lattice parallelograms have an area of 1. #SOME2 References and Notes: Ref. 1 This proof is entirely based on Garbett (2010) - documents.kenyon.edu/math/GarbettJSenEx2011.pdf Ref 2.

The Riemann Zeta Function in the Integer Lattice
Переглядів 11 тис.2 роки тому
In this video we discuss visible points on the integer lattice and it's connection to the Riemann zeta function. Sources: 1. The main derivation was based on the blog post shreevatsa.wordpress.com/2008/11/07/lattice-points-visible-from-the-origin/ 2. A slightly more formal version of the argument given above for the probability of two integers being coprime is given in the introduction in: hal....

The Vandermonde Matrix and Polynomial Interpolation

The Vandermonde matrix is a used in the calculation of interpolating polynomials but is more often encountered in the proof that such polynomial interpolates exist. It is also often encountered in the study of determinants since it has a really nice determinant formula.

    It starts out on the wrong foot. In Set Theory, which the video title pretends to have as its subject matter, every object of the theory is a single set. That does not encapsulate any real world physical things, as it is claimed. It is only around 26:14 that the video enters into the actual reality of sets, where every element of a set is itself a set, although it seems to view it as something unusual.
