He presents any math topic he touches with a unique perspective and has beautiful visuals to communicate them. Below, I list my some of my favorites (though you should really just go check out his entire channel):</p> <h4 id="fourier-transforms"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spUNpyF58BY">Fourier transforms</a></h4> <p>While getting my degree in electrical engineering, we lived and breathed Fourier transforms, eventually just doing them in our heads, but I never heard them explained as he presents the topic. Anyone interested in music or any signal system will find Fourier transforms reveal of what the music/signal is made.</p> <h4 id="partial-dimensions-with-fractals"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gB9n2gHsHN4">Partial dimensions with fractals</a></h4> <p>Fractals are one of the coolest things in mathmatics and nature. From a very simple ‘rule’, complex behavior or patterns can emerge. How can we use them to represent rough or jagged objects from things that often are assocated with beautiful patterns?</p> <h4 id="more-to-come">More to come!</h4>
