What I found even weirder in calculus was how you could make a function that was continuous at only one point and nowhere else

Weird how long it takes people to realise: Common sense is always wrong. It's just that for a narrow band of applications, it's usually right enough for current practical needs, and we don't realise how narrow that band it.

thanks for the historical lesson!! the differing regions of accuracy are amazing fascinations!!

And yet, Weierstrass couldn't handle the equally weird results Cantor was coming up with.

I had never heard of these origins of fractal mathematics, especially the geometric constructions of Bolzano! very cool!

I was very pleased to watch a video where all those complex concepts of math flow continuously to a continuous ending...yet, by no means, a differentiable one. I really enjoyed the trip from smooth curves to fractals. You really can convey the beauty of math in simple terms.
