Pi creature caretaker.
Very enjoyable video from @ben_eater. I mean, this is true of all his videos, but this one especially.
Nice post on wordle optimizations.
It was fun illustrating the example from @stevenstrogatz's great article "Loves me, loves me not, do the math" with pi creatures for the recent video. It's such a delightful narrative to wrap around the equations of cyclical dynamics.
The three videos of this series out so far offer a lovely introduction to some of the main ideas in topology, and are clearly animated with love and care! I keep seeing so many good up-and-coming math channels, it seems math YouTube is on a path to a golden age.
This is what I wish I learned from in my freshman year of college. Honestly, the third of it that is about linear algebra is one of the best linear algebra resources out there.
It doesn't pull any punches for the pure math students, but unlike many books with that target audience it stays grounded in frequent numerical examples and scientific applications. The culmination to the generalized Stokes' theorem, as well as the way to frame Maxwell's equations with differential forms, are particularly satisfying.

Naming a familiar but not-quite-defined idea can change how you think about it. “Discovery fiction” did this for me in writing, and @michael_nielsen just wrote a great essay summarizing it. Note, it shows why longer work is not necessarily more verbose.
