This is another one of those "out-of-my-comfort-zone" videos after the Cambridge interview one, but there are too many people asking to not answer this at some point, so here we are.
Thank you for stepping out of your comfort zone for us!! I know the internet can be infested with jackasses in places, but I know there is a large body of viewers (such as myself!) who love your content and are here to cheer you on. Also, as for the powerpoint, I hope you grow to understand that our collective response isn't negative judgement, it's awe at your talent for turning t h a t into THIS, my God man, that's a fantastic accomplishment and you ought to be PROUD! P.S.: I commented something to this tune on your last post about the video with TRM not getting the views you expected, but it deserves repeating. You deserve to make content that you are passionate about sharing with others, even if you're worried about the algorithm not getting it views. The algorithm is very chaotic, the algorithm is completely inhuman and unable to conceive of the value a video has to offer other than clicks and trends, and the algorithm is not necessarily indicative of the viewer base's actual opinions. Much easier said than done , but imo you should make that research project video :) keep up the great work!!
I can say that I found it very interesting, especially your cambridge timetables and the subjects you have/had. Also hats off for using PowerPoint, I never would've expected that
Mathemaniac: "pls don't judge me for using powerpoint" Also Mathemaniac: *makes production level mathematics videos using the most basic software out there -- even leaving your everyday manim animations to bite the dust 🗿 Happy 100k btw
I use PowerPoint for my math videos too. It's a little painstaking, but the morph transition enables some neat effects so the videos look like animations instead of a slideshow. Thanks for sharing your story!
yay I made it in the video :D and best of luck with the PhD applications! Also, I always love sharing Paul Lockhart's essay "A Mathematician's Lament" with non-math people who want to understand what is wrong with pre-uni math education. I agree that compulsory k-12 math as it currently stands has to be scrapped completely, with something more fulfilling (logic puzzles? board games? history of math?) put in its place.
That is actually pretty clever. I know how powerful Powerpoint can be when you know how to use the tools it gives you. Pre-programing a powerpoint for animations and simply recording it is a very clever way of doing things low budget.
I was anti microsoft and made my presentations only with LaTeX for a long time... But my last presentation was tight scheduled and i came back to using powerpoint for its convenience and daaamn, making presentations does not have to be a pain in the ass! All the features are so smart. Really can't judge you! You make great animations and its always about the artist and not about the tool!
Huge respect for the reveal of the tooling. I couldn't believe actually but a huge proof that it's doesn't matter what you use. What matters the end results. Thanks Trevor!
I don't think anyone will judge you about this! If anything, you will be approached my John Microsoft themself for making this advertisement for their product! Great job !
I use GeoGebra on a daily basis, it is indeed super powerful, and really practical once you get used to it! Good luck with your PhD applications! As a maths student in Aix-Marseille Université (France), we're barely taught any physics, and I think that's a bit sad. I hope you'll release a video on that project you mentionned, I'll be sure to watch it if ever that becomes a thing :D
The professionalism cannot be generalized to just which tools are used, but also which tools used to do which job. You don't want to be judged with negative feedback, but if it is positive then I think that it is OK. The essence is "right tool for the right job", you achieved that, so you are already professional. Stop being shameful about which tools are used. You should be proud! You are fucking great!
Honestly, I think it's pretty cool that you use Powerpoint to do your videos! Your videos are very well done, and so I was actually quite delightfully surprised to discover you do it all with Powerpoint, Geogebra, and Mathematica.
Thanks for making this video! It's amazing what you were able to do with Powerpoint and Geogebra. (Lucky you, having access through your school to Mathematica.) After watching, I understand better what is involved in starting an educational RUclips channel. I had ideas for 3 channels, one of which was math, and now have narrowed it down to one (not the math!).
Actually the norm is more like 8 or 9 courses in 2nd and 3rd years, where all courses are optional, just like in the first year (where all 8 courses are compulsory), but I just wanted to torture myself.
11:40 original Arnold quote was literally about price in money. About comparison between amount of money you should give a mathematician to work and amount of money you should give a physicist to build some extrafancy experimental stuff like particle colliders, for example. So you interpreted "experiments" right way. He kinda loved this quote and repeated it several times. Especially in context of introspecting soviet and russian 90s math education, financial aspects of it and other more philosophical topics. V. Arnold really loved to tell stories and did it good, but the practical aspect were, umh, specific. Suitable only for the tiniest amount of people who needed math in some way. His nephew Vitaly Arnold made a lot more for math education, I think.
I've also used PowerPoint to produce some pretty slick academic presentations. I had suspected that you used it but I always assumed you used something else that made it easier. It's funny to see I was right.
That's crazy, I use powerpoint exactly as a video editor too! Don't mean to do free advertisement to microsoft, but hell powerpoint is versatile and powerful af, I don't think you should feel "inferior" in any mean to any other youtuber just because you're using an easy to use software in a clever way.
it's quite impressive making these amazing videos using the most basic software 'power point' but I suggest u using manim to make 2d Or 3d interactive animations to take ur animations to another level. And even using some music in the intro and outro will be really gr8. Btw, happy 100k
Vladimir Arnold meant that proving theorems is possible witohut any material stuff - pen and paper only, while in physics an experiment is a judge for any cojecture to be wrong. So doing math does not require any sponsors $$$
I never heard about the theorem saying that period 3 implies chaos! That was the most wonderful moment in the whole video! I should be embarrassed, as I was doing a lot of dynamic systems simulations-just for the fun of it, but chaos has always interested me. I'll search for it, am sure I'll google up the info, but I'll appreciate a couple pointers, indeed! My favorite theorem is Borsuk-Ulam's. It's quite unexpectedly pops up in different areas of math. And I'm a big fan of geometry, too: both good old planar geometry for recreation (I despise solving geometric puzzles algebraically, only by construction!), and diffgeo, out of my love for GR. I am a physicist by training, and I still remember how breathtaking GR was in my grad school, like it was yesterday, not 30 years ago! I'm happy I dropped out of HEP physics by pure chance. It turned out a scientific tragedy for the whole generation-LHC shows no sign of any new physics, essentially killed SuSy at the energy scales where it would make sense-and we had so much hopes for “new physics!” I worked in quantum chemistry, it's all about numeric simulations. There I fell in love with computers, and finally drifted into applied math completely. But I grateful to my physics education for the way it trained me to think about almost everything. And I'm still doing GR in my free time. Often numerically, too. :) It never stops being fascinating!
Very nice videos! However I'm completely clueless how one can produce such videos. Saying it's powerpoint is insufficient. Do you have videos about actually *how to do it* in powerpoint?
I 10000000% agree we should not force compulsory HS math on students who hate math. My gf was essentially bullied by a teacher when she was young bc she couldn’t solve a math problem (multiple occurences), and now she will hate math forever, even though she enjoys many things that touch on math. And there are so many people like this, it’s truly unfortunate
Shaming you for using powerpoint to animate your videos?? Would you shame a person for painting the Mona Lisa with a leafy stick and mud? :D (No harsh feelings towards powerpoint of course

That's Good one. I use only Python Manin Library to achieve Mathematical Animations.

Also Mathemaniac: *makes production level mathematics videos using the most basic software out there -- even leaving your everyday manim animations to bite the dust 🗿
Happy 100k btw
Powerpoint is turing-complete, so no jugement here.
Hahaha
No one would judge you! I myself feel impressed that you could combine these seemingly non-professional softwares to make such professional videos!
Wow! I didn't know you could combine these sorts of programs to make so beautiful tutorials. I should do the same if I am teaching math later in life
I use PowerPoint for my math videos too. It's a little painstaking, but the morph transition enables some neat effects so the videos look like animations instead of a slideshow. Thanks for sharing your story!

Yes I'm going to judge you: It's seriously impressive and cool you managed to do so much with something as simple as powerpoint.
Wow, really impressed how powerpoint can output such great video quality. Thanks for the tip!
Morph transition is a gamechanger for me
Huge respect for the reveal of the tooling. I couldn't believe actually but a huge proof that it's doesn't matter what you use. What matters the end results. Thanks Trevor!
I don't think anyone will judge you about this! If anything, you will be approached my John Microsoft themself for making this advertisement for their product!
Great job !
I knew it! I had a feeling you are using powerpoint.
now you made me reconsider learning how to use Manim...
I use GeoGebra on a daily basis, it is indeed super powerful, and really practical once you get used to it!
Good luck with your PhD applications!
As a maths student in Aix-Marseille Université (France), we're barely taught any physics, and I think that's a bit sad.
I hope you'll release a video on that project you mentionned, I'll be sure to watch it if ever that becomes a thing :D
Not using manim is the biggest plot twist I encountered this year
I got to learn Geogebra properly though!
very interesting to learn more about your background! You took a TON of math courses...
The professionalism cannot be generalized to just which tools are used, but also which tools used to do which job.
You don't want to be judged with negative feedback, but if it is positive then I think that it is OK.

I’m genuinely amazed you did your stuff using PowerPoint 🤯
Actually, I'm impressed. I love powerpoint and always was thinking about using it as a graphic tool. This video gave me motivation to try it
Using powerpoint is an inspiration!! A lot people want to share content but worrying about editing
You perfectly exploited PowerPoint. I really like your consistency.
You did outstanding work with basic tools, respect.
Wow...really nice videos using such simple applications👍👍
Hey, could you make video how you have make this videos presentation in PowerPoint it would be very helpful. Thanks for providing amazing content 👏
You had 13 courses in second year? That's crazy. Here in Germany we take a total of 6 courses in year 2 of our degree.
Actually the norm is more like 8 or 9 courses in 2nd and 3rd years, where all courses are optional, just like in the first year (where all 8 courses are compulsory), but I just wanted to torture myself.
5:26 "Is it demanding?" personally, very yes lol. Its enjoyable in a masochistic sort of way though
Using the tools you are comfortable with is perfectly valid :)

Best wishes on your Ph.D. applications. I think your use of these software programs works well.
I am actually curious about the research project you did. I hope you'll decide to finally make that video regardless of how many people will watch it.
Another excellent video!!!
congrats on 150K subs :)

Btw, happy 100k
Manin is good but very hard. To make 2-3 min animations it require 200-300 lines of code atleast.
I wish i knew how to make powerpoint like you
That's impressive, I even thought you used Manim or something!
i make my math (research) talk visuals in powerpoint. people seem to like it more than the standard latex beamer template =)
Powerpoint? It's not possible
Mathemaniac: No, it's necessary
*Epic music intensifies*
As someone that uses movie maker from 15 years ago this resonates with me
Vladimir Arnold meant that proving theorems is possible witohut any material stuff - pen and paper only, while in physics an experiment is a judge for any cojecture to be wrong. So doing math does not require any sponsors $$$
Using Powerpoint is such a flex
Is it possible to learn his power?
Powerpoint to make videos is an certified epic move.

That’s what it seemed to me! 👍
I also use PowerPoints for math presentations rather than latex. My professors hate it.
This is legendary
I thought you are supposed to show us how to make math animation 🤔. I completed my PhD at Oxford University, it's old news.
14:23
I felt proud
That's good to know. It's seems more practical using those than Manim.
Very nice videos! However I'm completely clueless how one can produce such videos. Saying it's powerpoint is insufficient. Do you have videos about actually *how to do it* in powerpoint?
Everybody knows, everybody, oh
We're goin' to go where everybody knows
Everybody knows
And they all judge you, harshly.
I 10000000% agree we should not force compulsory HS math on students who hate math. My gf was essentially bullied by a teacher when she was young bc she couldn’t solve a math problem (multiple occurences), and now she will hate math forever, even though she enjoys many things that touch on math.

When are the exams ? During the break?
Of course people would suspect that clean animation comes from power point. Why else would power point have that much bloat for?
I genuinely thought you used manim, pretty shocked right now
And at the end "...just my two cents". Are you American (well, if so, it surprises me since you are in Cambridge)?
Do you like Statistics?
How old are you?
what do you think about playboi carti?
Please proof the ramanujan pi series
Hello
could you please disclose what is the text2speech software you use? Thank you very much!
It is literally my voice. I don't use any text to speech software at all.
Someone has a template of a good power point presentation?
george brah
Thank you for complimenting 3Blue1Brown. Now I'm subscribed to both of you
chad powerpoint + random free tools vs. virgin manim users
Shaming you for using powerpoint to animate your videos?? Would you shame a person for painting the Mona Lisa with a leafy stick and mud? :D (No harsh feelings towards powerpoint of course
if you're a Cambridge maths student, shouldn't you be able to spell maths correctly? 😜
Mathologer uses the same technique, I guess.
Ok but what the hell 'joe-jebrah'?? Do English speaking people really say it like that?
British educated but you say 'math' :(
