There's a new video out with Ben Sparks. At the end they showed a teaser of another video with Ben, "Beautiful Trigonometry". Back when that came out, I recreated Ben's visualisation with settings and sliders in Processing's p5js. Try it! ednl.github.io/spirojs/

Video alt: a colourful circle composed of miniature circles (balls) seems to spin around inside a bigger circle. It's an illusion: all the individual balls move in perfectly straight lines on diagonals of the big circle.

There are loads of resources on the WWW that do this far better justice, with more detail and less handwaving that I'm using here. There are also scads of pop science explanations by actual maths teachers. #Numberphile has #HannahFry discussing this with orange peel, for example. @standupmaths has probably covered it somewhere.

You'll know that you've reached the good stuff, the stuff that mathematicians and theoretical physicists deal in (knowing about intrinsic measure of curvature being necessary for a proper understanding of curved spacetime in General Relativity), when you come across the explanations that blithely throw in Christoffel symbols and Ricci tensors as if you know what the Hell they are on about.

“A New Way to Look at Möbius Strips”

Nothing new in terms of results, even the ones that I knew as a kid, but a nice visualization that clarifies why things work out the way that they do.

#BigClive has taken a bit of a strange turn. The calculator is still pink, and the improvisation when a spudger is not to hand is still there.

But someone has turned on YouTube's new AI-powered convert-the-dialogue-to-an-Aussie-accent feature.

Every, and I mean every, mathematician must know about this!!

Numperphile - “Lord of the Commutative Rings”

This was the sort of stuff I loved in upper-level undergraduate mathematics.

Just heard a snippet of #numberphile on swedish radio 🙂

The show "språket" has an episode all about numbers 👍 If you know swedish and like numbers you should toitally give it a listen.

Ein YouTube-Video des Mathematik-Kanals Numberphile löst in der Mathe-Community eine große Kontroverse aus. Es geht um eine scheinbar absurde Rechnung: Kann die Summe aller natürlichen Zahlen 1+2+3+4+5+… wirklich minus 1/12 ergeben?

If, 14 years ago, you saw my Ignite lightning talk on #Euler’s identity and have been left hanging on the final “Gaussian Integral” slide - which I said was “a story for another day”…

#Numberphile have just done an amazing video on it, which is very enjoyable and I highly recommend.

It's me! On #numberphile! Talking about my favourite polyhedron!

After many years never being able to line up doing numberphile video, I was really glad that Brady and I ended up in the same place to do this. I love the animations and especially the sound effects!

In addition to the normal zero, you've got the double zero. That's for when things are reeeeeally zero. I mean this ones pretty zero, this ones absolute zero. (m p) #Numberphile
