As an applied math major, words cannot explain how invaluable of a resource Quanta is. I look forward to these every year! :))

These videos are always so fire cus they take all these math stuff that usually require a cancerous amount of reading, and condense it in a way that actually convenient and easy to read.<br>Lowkey yall should do the same with random math stuff in general

I will always respect these mathematicians. I studied CS and that was enough math for me. The abstractness of actual mathematics is just crazy. You start out with simple definitions but build a completely different world with its own rules and try to strictly logically go from one statement to the next proving things that you can't even really explain or draw for non-math people.

Outstanding editing. The video is edited in such a way that it makes me even more curious to study science in depth. I truly love this channel, and the editing fits it almost miraculously.
