Regarding the brief reference to Fermat's Last Theorem, what should be emphasized is that it refers to positive integers. You can of course have things like 0^3 + 2^3 = 2^3, or (-3)^3 + 3^3 = 0^3.

As to the "you're" typo at 1:20, I keep telling that second blue pi creature (Randolph is his name) to learn his grammar, but for whatever reason, he just never listens and focuses only on his math lessons.
I scrolled down to the comments just to see if anyone caught that.
Hey 3Blue1Blue, thanks for another great video! For fun I've tried out to make Randolph smile (self.play(randy.change_mode, "happy")), but for some reason it wouldn't let me. Any idea why that would be? Moving works fine. Also, I'm gonna do videos on functional programming and logic foundations (no animations) and was wondering how I could do life LaTeXing, as I want to avoid handwriting. Do you have any idea how to approach this?
Thanks for your math content!
Shame on the second blue pi creature.
Names of the other three pi creatures, please?
What are the other ones' names?
At some point you think you have seen everything, which is to say about a "simple" topic like pythagorean triples. And then comes this video and blows your mind with the elegance and simplicity of it all. And you will be reminded, there is no such thing as "simple topics" and "everything to know".
I couldn't agree more with that last sentence!
Truth.
onlynamelefthere hey. If you get an already pythagorean triple and Square them, why don't you get a "fermat's triple for n=4"?
Agreed😊💐💐💐💐👍
Claudia Assis
Say a,b,c satisfy :
a^2 +b^2 = c^2
Squaring both sides :
(a^2 + b^2)^2 =c^2
Or, a^4 + b^4 + 2*(a*b)^2 = c^4
Whereas Fermat's triplet for n=4 satisfy:
a^4 + b^4 = c^4

Thank you for your reply. Well, I was in Pure Mathematics instead of Applied. I believe that Applied Mathematics would give you very great flexibility. Academia may or may not be the best environment to be in. Even though I no longer work as a mathematician professionally, I still study mathematics and find it fascinating.

You should make an ”Essence of topology” series. Topology is very visual but can be hard to describe with just numbers. I think ur animations would make a great fit for teaching topology
You could cover topics like: Projective space, Equivalance relations or quotient space, affine geometry, hyperbolic geometry.
And then u can end of the series by briefly giving an understanding to the poincaré conjecture.
I'd honestly love for 3b1b to talk about hyperbolic geometry

I love how the students get angry when the teacher introduces complex numbers.
The beauty of maths is that you can take something seemingly trivial and boring, and make it extremely intersting by digging deep enough.
The beauty of 3b1b is that he does it for us :)
This is exactly what schools should be doing but a lot of them don't.
Does anyone ever feel saddened by the beauty of these videos? It's not just, "I wish math was taught to me this way", it's that I now think there's got to be this beauty in so much more, and my eyes are just not open to seeing it.
Exactly! Well said!
For sure. Normally I'm there trying to cram my head with as much math as it can fit in for some test I don't give a crap about, and I don't like the math at all. But there is hidden beauty waiting to be discovered, and I am waiting for me to discover that I CAN discover the hidden beauty in mathematics.
I usually feel saddened while watching these videos when I realize just how little I know, and worse yet, how I’ll never be able to know everything there is to know in maths. Not only because we lost a lot of valuable information as time went on, but also because it is such a broad field.
What an amazing visualization. A few years back, I tried coming up with a proof to find an elegant proof for finding Pythagoras triplets. Didn’t succeed.
But this video just gave me a whole new perspective.
Cheers!
Yes, I thought the Pythagorean triples from Sumerian times (1,000 years before Pythagoras lived) were found by trial and error. I never guessed that there could be an algorithm for it, let alone a simple(?) algorithm as described by this video.
In Euclid’s Elements there is a description of all the possible Pythagorean Triples. Here’s a modern paraphrase of Euclid.
Take any two Odd Numbers m and n, with m < n, and relatively prime (that is, no common factors). Let A = m x n; B = (n^2 - m^2)/2, and; C = (n^2 + m^2)/2. Then A:B:C is a Pythagorean Triple.
For instance, if you take m = 1, and n = 3, then you get the smallest Pythagorean triple 3:4:5.
It's essentially the same formula that we get when generalizing the squares of complex numbers for these triplets. It's incredible how many proofs you can do with complex numbers, even in things you wouldn't normally expect them to appear!
You have an incredible intuition and perspective on mathematics. Please never stop sharing your knowledge with us!

Those animations are outstanding.
For anyone who wants to graph the intersecting parabola, the general equation for each parabola is x=[+/-](y^2 / 4(n)^2 - n^2) where "[+/-]" is plus or minus and "n" represents the nth parabola away from the origin. In latex, it's written as:
x=\pm\left(\frac{y^2}{4n^2}-n^2
ight)
for those who want it written neatly. The straight line equations are as simple as taking each coordinate that from the intersection (a,b) and making the equation y=b/a * x or y= \frac{b}{a}x in latex
NOTICE: A parabola written in the form of ax^2+bx+c has a=1/(4f) where f is the focus. I noticed that the focus for those parabolas using the equation is n^2 so that the focus of all of these parabolas is it's number squared. then noticed that the focus changes when the "c" term changes in the equation, then the focus get translated by "c" and what turned out is that the "c" term in the above equation is also n^2! so n^2(the focus) - n^2(translation by "c" term) gives 0. so that all of those parabolas have their focus at the origin and each one is away from the origin by n^2 distance! Let's work together to figure out why this equation works with these givens
A side note: The creation of the parabola equation started by trying to determine the trajectory/path of a cannonball. The framework takes the parameters of gravitation and the earth below but the earth must be flat. Yes, the earth is flat (and stationary), while thinking of the ball earth as "Close enough for govt work" is just that.

I came up with an entirely different way to generate Pythagorean triples in middle school, though much less visual, using the property that x^2=∑(1≤i≤x)2i-1, i.e. that squares are the sums of odd numbers: Any expression of a number's square in terms of a sum of squares that does *not* start at 1 corresponds to a nontrivial Pythagorean triple, where the hypotenuse's square is the sum when the sequence of odd numbers is extended down to 1. You can generate such a series by choosing the number of odd numbers to add, which can be any factor of x² with the same parity (both even or both odd) (there's a valid interpretation for when n>x, though it's a bit weird), then choosing the *middle* of the sequence to be x²/n. Someone check my math.
Ah so basically if for some j != 1 we have that 2j+1 + 2j+3 + 2j+5 ... = m^2 then obviously 1+3+5... 2j-1 = n^2 and 1 + 3 +5 + ... 2j-1 + 2j+1 + 2j+3 ... a square number as well. That's a nice observation!

I remember discovering this method a few months ago and being amazed about how is generates these triples. When you showed that it generates multiples of every triple, that was incredible! I had no idea that it generated every triple.

You can also do the Pythagorean tripple Generator algebraicly:
a²+b²=c²
a²=c²-b²

a/(c-b)=(c+b)/a=u/v
¹ (c-b)/a=v/u
² (c+b)/a=u/v
¹+²=³... Just Kidding
¹+²:
2c/a=(u²+v²)/uv
c/a=(u²+v²)/2uv
²-¹:
2b/a=(u²-v²)/uv
b/a=(u²-v²)/2uv
Now we can say that numerator= numerator and denominator=denominator
So we get
a=2uv
b=u²-v²
c=u²+v²
The same result.
that ¹+²=³ 😂

I can't believe I graduated in maths and still didn't know about this!
I was going to ask what is the program you use to animate this, but you actually program it, on python...I also work with python and it is a really easy language but I imagine it is incredibely difficult to make these videos, I mean, you must know a lot! I wonder if there is some video editing software like after effects but with math properties, not only graphical ones, I bet it would be impossible to achieve such precision and amazing visualizations like your grid transformation stuff using any other software
That's right. Nothing gives you the same amount of flexibility as actually writing graphics routines to express exactly what you want to visualize.
The dude knows what he’s doing. He graduated in CS/Math from Stanford University. I have a friend who took a class with him, he’s a genius type.
4:15
Yeah, that’s because of Euler’s identity: 2+i is basically sqrt(5)*e^(~1.10715i), so you double the angle and square the sqrt
@�̴̀͌̕
The Euler Identity happens from realising that, if you interpret the concepts of an angle and of an exponent in a weird way :
r*e^(i*x) = r*cos(x) + r*i*sin(x)
Where x is an angle *MEASURED IN RADIANS, NOT DEGREES; VERY IMPORTANT*
Essentially, you just plug in the value of the angle (IN DEGREES) for the x power of e, then you discard the "rad" unit
And r is the *square root* of _the addition of the squares of the real number and the multiplier of i_
So we now know that you can rewrite additions of real numbers with a multiple of the imaginary number _i_ with a single term, that is use without having to add 2 or more things together
So, since 2 + 1*i is such an addition, we can convert this into a single number, "r*e^(i*x)", where, again, r is a square root involved with the real number (2) and the multiplier of i (1); but when we square this "r*e^(i*x)", then we square "r", therefore we square a square root, tus we get the number that's inside, which is, again, _the addition of the squares of the real number and the multiplier of i_ , which is "2^2 + 1^2", or "5"
And x is the angle between the line connecting to the origin of the Real-Imaginary graph and the complex number and the x-axis; if the complex number's above the negative values of the x axis, then the angle's between 90 degrees and 180 degrees; and if the complex number's under the x axis, then the angle's negative
These videos are beautiful.

Some times, taking the route that looks harder or more complicated is the best, simplest, easiest way.
Jordan Ellenberg in his book How not to be wrong, the power of Mathematical Thinking:
Outsiders sometimes have an impression that mathematics consists of applying more and more powerful tools to dig deeper and deeper into the unknown, like tunnelers blasting through the rock with ever more powerful explosives. And that's one way to do it. But Grothendieck, who remade much of pure mathematics in his own image in the 1960's and 70's, had a different view: "The unknown thing to be known appeared to me as some stretch of earth or hard marl, resisting penetration...the sea advances insensibly in silence, nothing seems to happen, nothing moves, the water is so far off you hardly hear it...yet it finally surrounds the resistant substance."
The unknown is a stone in the sea, which obstructs our progress. We can try to pack dynamite in the crevices of rock, detonate it, and repeat until the rock breaks apart, as Buffon did with his complicated computations in calculus. Or you can take a more contemplative approach, allowing your level of understanding gradually and gently to rise, until after a time what appeared as an obstacle is overtopped by the calm water, and is gone. Mathematics as currently practiced is a delicate interplay between monastic contemplation and blowing stuff up with dynamite.
You made the complex plane become plain!

You: always have a video explaining it eloquently and comprehensively. TY!
one time i watched a video class because i was desperate and didn't know basic math and now those videos show up on my recommended and i love watching them to see what i may or may not understand and just bc i love hearing smart ppl talk
Очень красиво, спасибо. Я ожидал в конце неких глобальных выводов о распределении точек на окружности, но не дождался, очень жаль. Наверное эта тема ещё ждёт своего исследователя.
When I watch these kinds of videos I wonder and imagine how much Pythagore or any antiquity mathematician would have been hyped watching this
... just beautifully emazing ... Thanks!
Just the clip intro pic is immensely beautiful
I “ain’t thunk” through yet the ramifications of this, but I noticed that, although this pattern of interlocked parabolas has a 6-8-10 right triangle but no 3-4-5, it *does* have a 4-3-5 right triangle. That’s a result you get from scaling, as you pointed out.
So, in other words, if you reverse your axes you can achieve at least some effects of scaling of complex numbers.

1분뒤 : 자..자막을 켜볼까?
2분뒤 : 자..자기전에 보는영상인가?
ㅆㅇㅈ
i love these videos.. pretty picture.. soothing voice.. some safe numbers
and I feel I'm a better person afterwards in a way I can't put my finger on..
Fascinating. Well done.
