My favorite 3Brown1Blue videos and why
My favorite math YouTube channel, 3Brown1Blue, is created by Grant Sanderson and I think it is incredible. 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):
Fourier transforms
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.
Partial dimensions with fractals
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?
