>>8338208
It's a pretty okay high level conceptual summary that occasionally dips into detail, and is thus as much (and more) entertainment, than education. As an extreme layman, this is readily apparent.

It definitely has a popsci format though. Like the nonsense about using probability theory to figure if you're sick or not, or to do extremely naive disease modeling. Complete garbage, and one of the cases where people really are better to just stick to their own field. The heuristic laid out is of little if any utility.

Tadashi Tokieda's videos on Numberphile are really fun to watch. The animation is getting better too. Banana man is really lame though.

All of Brady's channels are great, I think my favourite professors are probably Mike Merrifield and Ed Copeland, just because they talk about some really out there stuff. Ed Copeland's voice is oddly soothing.

My favourite channel of his might be Objectivity, though.

They never explain anything.

This is why Mathologer is superior.
He actually goes all out usually when it comes to explaining what is presented.
Secondly, he doesn't rely on a roster of quirky professor stereotypes to make it entertaining.

I'll give Numberphile credit for the whole interaction between lecturer and cameraman, Brady is what makes those channels great.

>>8340159
I still refuse to believe this shit.

>>8341161
yeah you should because its flawed as fuck

It would be extremely painful.

>>8341115
I don't like them, they're very impolite and generally not very pleasant. I guess you can't expect much from a guy who makes Vsauce memes.

Also, I guess I'm that guy as well as I never spoke to them in real life, only over the internet.

>>8341157
>doesn't rely on a roster of quirky professor stereotypes to make it entertaining
But Mathologer is a professor stereotype. I took Calc 2 and Calc 3 with one of his doppelgangers.

Oh my apologies, Computer Science if you prefer, or if it has to be closer to truth then Informatics

>>8341886
Putting the = between the sum and -1/12 is a bit trollish I think. Zeta at -1 is equal to -1/12 but the sum of the naturals isn't. Have you tried to numerically calculate the analytic continuation of the zeta function? It's not as simple as the what you think it is and it doesn't at all turn into the sum of naturals at -1. I think the original numberphile video is flawed because it compares what happens on the real axis without the continuation with the continuation result.

It's an interesting show, with a lot of good information...

But like, most all mathematicians have their head up their ass a little bit.

They don't even care about practical application most of the time, and believe that their mathematical models of reality are correct, just because the math is perfect.

try telling them that they are inapplicable, despite being mathematically perfect, and they throw a shit fit.

I was speaking about mathematicians in the last part of this rant, and not about the people who make Numberphile, they are pretty cool.

To avoid derailing the thread numberphile is what made me commit to a math undergrad, I never had "exposure" to cool math and it motivated me to learn more. The interviews lend themselves to the personalities of the professors and you can feel their excitement about math.
