    hi, so I made another video a month ago or smth but didn't feel like it was good enough to upload. I'd still like to know what you guys think about it.
    Here is the link: ruclips.net/video/s6SPweu_Y-U/видео.html
    Thank you~

      Well, for me it's not so obvious why integrating that area of a segment gives pi*r^2 (though I'm a bit familiar with calculus)

    i will remember more easily the (2n-1)² - (n-1)² than 3n²-2n

    If it's what I think you mean, it would just be O(n) = 4n² - 4n + 1, where n = number of 'dots' on one side of the octagon.
    From what I'm assuming,
    O(1) = 1, just one dot;
    O(2) = 1+8 = 9, the center dot + a ring of 8;
    O(3) = 1+8+16 = 25, the center dot + a ring of 8 + a ring of 16; etc.
    In recursive form, O(1) = 1, O(n+1) = O(n) + 8n, which yields the formula I gave.
    O(n) = 8·tri(n-1) + 1 = 8·½n(n-1) + 1 = 4n² - 4n + 1
    Now I watch & see what you do...
    OK, that's not at all what I thought you meant.
    Nice way to get the formula for this kind of number!

    You can also simplify it to n(3n-2) correct?

    So, why do octagonal numbers share multiple verticies while other n-gonal numbers share a center? The inconsistency is a little strange.

    So I was thinking about this problem, and I'm not sure if I see the relation to all of the octagonal numbers. You demonstrate this with respect to the first two numbers but to extend it to higher ones could be visual trickery. I don't mean to say that this isn't true, I'm just trying to ponder how it does. I was thinking that you could treat the next octagon (O_3) with the second octagon (O_2) but there's no telling whether the pattern would actually follow from my perspective.
