I think it's pretty clear that it's one of the highest, if not the highest, production quality of animations on math out there.

If you force me to criticism, I'm personally more interested in higher level math and he also has a fetisch for certain topics, especially let's say 2'nd year analysis and autistic (but more or less pretty) proofs. His topology argument proofs are cool but forcibly finding geometric representations of this and that series and transformation is..forced. But that's complaining on a high level. Also, it's a double edged sword to criticise innovative visualizations, because otherwise nobody would do them.

calc 1 student here, I watched his calculus series and it was mediocre.

his vids are pretty neat though, much ado about nothing.

his animations are pretty cool

i feel like i don't take much away from his vids in all honesty

Oh, and I forgot to say that I like that he open sourced his python scripting tool, I played around with it at one point 2 years ago. I think now that he actually has staff it's further developed. And yeah, I make math videos myself (cheap ones).

as far as math/science youtubers go, i'd say 3b1b is probably one of the highest quality in terms of production value and educational value

His Lin Alg series is far superior, but the calc one is great for basics - especially people who haven't studied calculus before.

Anyone else waiting for the follow up on the curl/divergence ep?

I know why his name is 3b1b

Worst math youtube channel on the internet. I'm not even being funny. This isn't hyperbole. He's the worst.

Boring as hell. Voice is horrible to listen to. He overcomplicates everything he does. Makes the simplest aspect of something too complex and makes the fun part of math painful.

The only reason he has so many subscribers is because of people who just want to say they subscribe. Look at his full video views... LOW AS FUCK.

I enjoy this channel.

He is good and bad in the same way as Sal Khan, but with a more professional presentation. I enjoy his emphasis on teaching comprehension and intuition instead of just straight diving into notation and rigour. Good for beginners, painful for people who already have a good idea of the covered topics.

>> No.10060157

>>10060151
Pretty sure he works at Khan Academy now too.
They're OK vids, they seemed dumbed down most of the time. I prefer the opposite, a lecturer who doesn't assume you're stupid, and when they want to convey intuition they use very precise language when doing so instead of deferring to vague metaphors that have been used far too much as to be meaningless.

Nice production but bad content.
At least that faggot mathologer tries to explain autistic stuff, 3B1B only does gay stuff for pretentious undergrads.

I was struggling in intro to linear algebra simply because of how un intuitive some of the concepts were. His animations make it extremely easy to visualize things.

His videos are paced such that I think most people watching them will get distracted trying to make sense of the pretty animations and not really understand anything.

I feel like I understood everything after a video but then on recollection it's generally difficult to recall what his point was. Maybe I'm just dumb but I doubt it's that. His audience clearly includes a lot of niggercattle who are extatic about how smart they feel but given their typing style I doubg they are even capable of grogging the math.
