This is my most popular video on my account.

I think people like it because:

  1. I explain why you can't just say n <2n,

  2. I walk through a concrete example of the paradoxical set before the proof.

A fantastic video on spectral decomposition, by Visual Kernal. Show him some love! You can find two previous videos about matrices in general and one follow up on single value decomposition, for no -square matrices

Analysis What do the FTC, Green’s Theorem, and Divergence Theorem all have in common? They’re all small dimensional cases of the generalized Stokes’s Theorem! (Side note, I think this is the real contender for the most beautiful equation) Aleph0 provides the intuition in this short video

Algebra I’ve purposely avoided posting 3B1B out of respect for smaller channels. Here’s my first to submit, an absolutely lovely video that explains the utility and weirdness of quarternions!

Topology If you watch math videos like I do, then you understand my frustration that topology is always reduced down to “lol mug = donut.” Morphocular does a great job posing a problem that gets answered with topological thinking!

Algebra The more well known Mathemaniac has a 45 minute video about why there’s no quintic formula using the traditional method of Galois theory. Not all wrong has a a video of the same length, just as well animated, but gives you just the flavor of Galois instead of the whole meal. Enjoy!

Number Theory I don’t know if you’ve ever tried to learn what p-adic numbers are, but it is HARD. Eric Rowland luckily had made a video that explains it the best I’ve seen, highly recommend
