I'd recommend a few: 1. 3Blue1Brown has similar math visualizations over a number of math topics. 2. Kurgesagt has really interesting animations over many topics, including science, climate change, space, and aliens. 3. Veritasium shows sciencey things in cool ways. 4. TedEd has short animations on a variety of topics, like science, mythology, fiction, history, and social studies. 5. MinuteEarth has fun, short animations about the Earth, nature, and related science topics. 6. MinutePhysics has short animations about physics. This is by no means an exhaustive list, but I watch these channels more than others. For shorter videos, try starting with TedEd, MinuteEarth, and MinutePhysics. The other channels have slightly longer, more in-depth videos.
What do you mean he makes it fun? Mathematics is fun. What he does is very clean visuals and is quite good at it. That's why I watch, even though I learned all of this many years ago.
For binomials and the choose function there are really nice ways to build intuition, experiments to derive rules like in this video. However, in combinatorics you often care about slightly more complex things, where you have more classes than yes/no and dependencies between objects. For example, for a given graph, how many ways are there to label the nodes such that the graphs are isomorphic? When I learned this and taught it to other students I always had the feeling that this was one of the things for which you need a good understanding of the problem to solve it as there is no go-to formula or procedure to solve those. The only way that seemed to work is to solve different instances over until it clicks tl;dr: I found teaching combinatorics really hard.
The encouragements to pause and think through things are _vital_ to get people to actually _understand_ and not just watch the video and forget immediately. Very well done all around!
Oh how I have missed the blobs engaging in simulations. So nice to see a new video. As always a pure delight to be able to learn and be entertained at the same time. All education should be this way.
one day in the future, this is gonna be played in a classroom for a maths class, and your gonna make a lot of people laugh and understand this a much better and get their foot into the doors of stats and further stats. amazing vid
I'm so glad you did this video cos just the other day I was cracking my head on a similar problem and couldn't make out how binomial coefficient work on my own, thanks a lot for making it crystal clear. Great job, as always!
This is a wonderfully succinct and comprehensive explanation of this topic that actually covers the reasons *why* the formula was constructed the way that is, not just how to use it. My math-teacher mom and I approve. I love the rest of your bio, econ, and math stuff, too. Here’s hoping the algorithm feeds this to more people!
I can not believe it. I love your videos so much. I actually discovered your channel this morning. When I entered it and saw your last video was from ten months ago I thought you wouldn't be doing more videos. So the fact that on the same day I found you, you put a video makes me so happy. Keep it up, the blobs are the best
Oh wow I was just looking at your channel and wondering when you would post next, I'm glad to be able to watch a new video of yours, they're always great!
As someone who just took stat, this was a really nice reminder of the logic behind everything and made me actually think about math for the first time in a few weeks. Fantastic video!
So glad you brought this equation back to talk about. One of my favorite videos you've done is the coin flip one and I like using the binomial distribution formula when I can, but always forget what the values would stand for and I'd have to go to the linked video to remind myself. This will be much easier to find and sit through.
The blobs are adorable! Definitely going to ask for a plush or two this Christmas And seeing that this channel doesn’t overload one with videos, I subscribed pretty dang fast.
This is great timing! I have my maths A level mock in a few weeks, and I'm not the biggest fan of stats, so this is really useful for brushing up on it.
I love these videos. You have a great way of explaining things in a very intuitive way. I especially liked the demonstrations for calculating the binomial coefficient. Showing that the Nth blob added to the list can be inserted in N different positions really helps solidify why ordering is calculated using factorials*. And then using that to remove the duplicates from each group made a lot more sense than just trying to memorize the formula. * The way I usually think about ordering is if I have N items, then the first one in the list could be any of the N items, then the second could be any of the remaining N-1 items, then N-2, and so on until the last one.
my immediate thought when watching this, given the free-throw example from basketball, is calculating the odds of any given baseball pitcher throwing a perfect game (a game where not a single opposing batter gets on base over all nine innings) based on their WHIP statistic (walks and hits per inning pitched)! very cool video, as always :)
Easily the best description of Binomial distributions and, most importantly, the fundamentals that support it. Fantastic! I’ll be sharing it with my son. thank you 👍
Absolutely love your content. Almost yelled out "BLOB GUY HAS A NEW VIDEO" when I saw this in my feed earlier. I can only assume how much effort goes into these videos, but I sincerely hope you'll keep making them - they are truly awesome.
Yay! Finally another post! I love your videos, they're educational but in a way that entirely makes sense and is also fun to watch because of the animations. :)
I recently finished alg 2 and we learned this but skipped over most of the explanation and went right to the combinations and permutations, it's nice to learn more about what makes these formulas work.
what a amazing video, the best class I've ever watched about binomial distribution along with this clear and well-done animation transformed this simple 15min video into a masterpiece, congrats 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I always watch primer, regardless of the subject, because if I do not know it its a great opportunity to learn it, and if I already know it its still a great opportunity to learn about communication and didactics. I always end the video feeling smarter and that keeps me engaged. Thank you very much for the effort in making these as easy-to-understand as possible!
Beautiful! Oh this is perfect! I tutor genetics and have some students that struggle with statistics, and I am going to tuck this into my tool box! Thanks for making the math pretty, well chewed, and easy to digest. I've already used some of your other videos with positive feedback, I just hope the next wait for a new one isn't as long as the last.
these videos really cement in the fact that i prefer statistics/combinatorics to things like calculus. i struggle to pay attention to and care about what goes on in my calculus classes, but i willingly watch, stay engaged with, and seek out more content focusing on this sort of stuff. thanks for reminding me that not all math is nightmarish 😉
I've had combinatorics in high school, and we did "learn" the formula there - as in, "this is the formula, you need to remember it because it works". Thanks to this video, I've finally understood where the formula comes from. Thanks!
holy moley I never learned about this in school, but I've occasionally been interested in calculating probabilities for certain things, and my eyes glazed over when I looked up binomial distribution, but seeing it here, it's gotten a LOT easier to understand... nice video!
I do a lot of statistics for work, and I still watched this video because a) always great to review the fundamentals and b) your videos are just that good.
Literally did my final math exam (12th grade) today and I did revision for analytical combinatorics covering this exact subject! I'm surprised how well I understood this video. There were a few aha moments where a couple things at a time slotted into place :)
Love the way you ensured people like me will sit through the whole end cut - like, of course I wanna support the poor blob at the end until it succseeds! 😆☺️ Love it!
I am supposed to learn this for school and my teacher unfortunately isn't the best when it comes to explaining, so it is very nice to have you make a video on this topic.
I loved how you explained this topic,i was kinder looking for a video like this for five dacade ago now i have found one, i was that guy who thought that statistic and probability are boring topic and hey it turns out this video woke up the inner beast in me to go back and study statistics and probability on engineering mathematics and advance engineering mathematics, i wish to see more video about statistics and probability in the near coming month,thank you, your sponsor and supporter .

By now I've done 4 semesters of statistics classes but none of my professors was able to explain this concept as easily understandable as this video.
