Hello

[@cykwan8534]

*THE MATH LORE* 0:07 The simplest way to start -- 1 is given axiomatically as the first *natural number* (though in some Analysis texts, they state first that 0 is a natural number) 0:13 *Equality* -- First relationship between two objects you learn in a math class. 0:19 *Addition* -- First of the four fundamental arithmetic operations. 0:27 Repeated addition of 1s, which is how we define the rest of the naturals in set theory; also a foreshadowing for multiplication. 0:49 Addition with numbers other than 1, which can be defined using what we know with adding 1s. (proof omitted) 1:23 *Subtraction* -- Second of the four arithmetic operations. 1:34 Our first *negative number!* Which can also be expressed as *e^(i*pi),* a result of extending the domain of the *Taylor series* for e^x (\sum x^n/n!) to the *complex numbers.* 1:49 e^(i*pi) multiplying itself by i, which opens a door to the... imaginary realm? Also alludes to the fact that Orange is actually in the real realm. How can TSC get to the quantity again now? 2:12 Repeated subtraction of 1s, similar to what was done with the naturals. 2:16 Negative times a negative gives positive. 2:24 *Multiplication,* and an interpretation of it by repeated addition or any operation. 2:27 Commutative property of multiplication, and the factors of 12. 2:35 *Division,* the final arithmetic operation; also very nice to show that - and / are as related to each other as + and x! 2:37 Division as counting the number of repeated subtractions to zero. 2:49 Division by zero and why it doesn't make sense. Surprised that TSC didn't create a black hole out of that. 3:04 *Exponentiation* as repeated multiplication. 3:15 How higher exponents corresponds to geometric dimension. 3:29 Anything non-zero to the zeroth power is 1. 3:31 Negative exponents! And how it relates to fractions and division. 3:37 Fractional exponents and *square roots!* We're getting closer now... 3:43 Decimal expansion of *irrational numbers* (like sqrt(2)) is irregular. (I avoid saying "infinite" since technically every real number has an infinite decimal expansion...) 3:49 sqrt(-1) gives the *imaginary number i,* which is first defined by the property i^2 = -1. 3:57 Adding and multiplying complex numbers works according to what we know. 4:00 i^3 is -i, which of course gives us i*e^(i*pi)! 4:14 Refer to 3:49 4:16 *Euler's formula* with x = pi! The formula can be shown by rearranging the Taylor series for e^x. 4:20 Small detail: Getting hit by the negative sign changes TSC's direction, another allusion to the complex plane! 4:22 e^(i*pi) to e^0 corresponds to the motion along the unit circle on the complex plane. 4:44 The +1/-1 "saber" hit each other to give out "0" sparks. 4:49 -4 saber hits +1 saber to change to -3, etc. 4:53 2+2 crossbow fires out 4 arrows. 4:55 4 arrow hits the division sign, aligning with pi to give e^(i*pi/4), propelling it pi/4 radians round the unit circle. 5:06 TSC propelling himself by multiplying i, rotating pi radians around the unit circle. 5:18 TSC's discovery of the *complex plane* (finally!) 5:21 The imaginary axis; 5:28 the real axis. 5:33 The unit circle in its barest form. 5:38 2*pi radians in a circle. 5:46 How the *radian* is defined -- the angle in a unit circle spanning an arc of length 1. 5:58 r*theta -- the formula for the length of an arc with angle theta in a circle with radius r. 6:34 For a unit circle, theta / r is simply the angle. 6:38 Halfway around the circle is exactly pi radians. 6:49 How the *sine and cosine functions* relate to the anticlockwise rotation around the unit circle -- sin(x) equals the y-coordinate, cos(x) equals to the x-coordinate. 7:09 Rotation of sin(x) allows for visualization of the displacement between sin(x) and cos(x). 7:18 Refer to 4:16 7:28 Changing the exponent by multiples of pi to propel itself in various directions. 7:34 A new form!? The Taylor series of e^x with x=i*pi. Now it's got infinite ammo!? Also like that the ammo leaves the decimal expansion of each of the terms as its ballistic markings. 7:49 The volume of a cylinder with area pi r^2 and height 8. 7:53 An exercise for the reader (haha) 8:03 Refer to 4:20 8:25 cos(x) and sin(x) in terms of e^(ix) 8:33 -This part I do not understand, unfortunately...- TSC creating a "function" gun f(x) = 9tan(pi*x), so that shooting at e^(i*pi) results in f(e^(i*pi))= f(-1) = 0. (Thanks to @anerdwithaswitch9686 for the explanation -- it was the only interpretation that made sense to me; still cannot explain the arrow though, but this is probably sufficient enough for this haha) 9:03 Refer to 5:06 9:38 The "function" gun, now "evaluating" at infinity, expands the real space (which is a vector space) by increasing one dimension each time, i.e. the span of the real space expands to R^2, R^3, etc. 9:48 log((1-i)/(1+i)) = -i*pi/2, and multiplying by 2i^2 = -2 gives i*pi again. 9:58 Blocking the "infinity" beam by shortening the intervals and taking the limit, not quite the exact definition of the Riemann integral but close enough for this lol 10:17 Translating the circle by 9i, moving it up the imaginary axis 10:36 The "displacement" beam strikes again! Refer to 7:09 11:26 Now you're in the imaginary realm. 12:16 "How do I get out of here?" 12:28 -Don't quite get this one...- Says "exit" with 't' being just a half-hidden pi (thanks @user-or5yo4gz9r for that) 13:03 n! in the denominator expands to the *gamma function,* a common extension of the factorial function to non-integers. 13:05 Substitution of the iterator from n to 2n, changing the expression of the summands. The summand is the formula for the volume of the *n-dimensional hypersphere* with radius 1. (Thanks @brycethurston3569 for the heads-up; you were close in your description!) 13:32 Zeta (most known as part of the *Zeta function* in Analysis) joins in, along with Phi (the *golden ratio)* and Delta (commonly used to represent a small quantity in Analysis) 13:46 Love it -- Aleph (most known as part of *Aleph-null,* representing the smallest infinity) looming in the background. Welp that's it! In my eyes anyway. Anything I missed? The nth Edit: Thanks to the comment section for your support! It definitely helps being a math major to be able to write this out of passion. Do keep the suggestions coming as I refine the descriptions!

[@LuckClover1]

Well, if we think about it philosophically, asking "What makes this a better feat than anything TSC had accomplished previously?" TSC had created mathematical dimensions beyond fictional dimensionality, every time that Euler and TSC fought, they turned these dimensions into weaponry and played with definitions of universal logic. "But what does this all equal to feats compared to Goku or Saitama?" Math exists in real life, and these equations can define anything, if TSC can make those definitions into a gigantic beam that almost blew up the void at the end, they used a real life concept as serious action and fighting, that is some serious power.

[@Jack-h6m3p]

Animation vs. Math: Basic Explanation 0:07 In the beginning of math, 1 is given as the first number in the math world. 0:13 Equality -- A relationship between numbers and their values, even equations. 0:18 Addition -- The first of the fundamental arithmetic operations. 0:28 Repeated addition of 1s results in omitting them for multiplication. 0:35 The first appearance of 0 in the ones place, it's just a placeholder for numbers that don't have their value. 0:45 Decomposition -- A number which has their expanded form or its equivalent sum inside enclosing with the parentheses symbol in the outside. For example: 2 can be written as (1 + 1). 0:49 Adding numbers that are greater than 1 can also be omitted by just adding 1. 1:10 Simplification -- In some math equations, they can (or can't) simplify their equations. For example: 40 + 68 + 35 = 108 + 35 = 143 1:23 Subtraction -- The second of the fundamental arithmetic operations. 1:31 Any number subtracts itself is always 0. 1:33 If 0 subtracts 1 (or more numbers), a negative number is born (-1). Which is the opposite side of real numbers (negative numbers). 1:39 This is Euler's Identity: -1 = e^(iπ) 1:49 ie^(iπ) is equal to -i and this leads to imaginary realm. 2:12 Subtracting negative numbers gives us even bigger negative numbers. Note: Adding negative numbers gives us even smaller negative numbers. 2:15 Doubling negative gives positive. 2:24 Multiplication -- The third of the fundamental arithmetic operations. 2:26 If a number on the right side has brackets (or parentheses) results in factors of the product. 2:35 Division -- The fourth of the fundamental arithmetic operations. Note: Division symbols can have three types (÷, / and :). The ÷ symbol is (usually) used in math equations, the / symbol is used in fractions. For example: 1/2 = 1 ÷ 2, and the : symbol is often used in ratios. For example: a:b = a/b or a ÷ b. 2:36 This is called long division, that means you have to take the divisor's number and subtract the dividend on how many times that will take you to 0. 2:48 Dividing any number by 0 doesn't make any sense, because when we use "n" and divide by 0 will just be n - 0 - 0 - 0 - 0... It will take you forever but the dividend is still the same. And that's why n÷0 is undefined. 2:57 Any number is equal to (number) - 0. And that's the Basic Explanation.

Some Small Details 5:29 this shows The Second Coming is approximately 1.65 units tall. An average adult male is 1.6~1.8 meters tall. It appears the math space is in SI units, m being the SI unit of length. This also shows TSC is about 165cm tall, or 5' 5". 7:45 a circle is represented as x^2 + y^2 = r^2. Inserting a pi turns it into the area of a circle, pi*r^2. Inserting 8 turns it into the volume of a cylinder, 8*pi*r^2. 9:01 since f(x) is 9*tan(x) and tangent turns angle into the steepness of a line, it can latch onto the unit circle. 9:40 f(dot) represents the tangent function at a given point (throughout this video, we can see a dot used as an arbitary number on the number line), and f(inf) represents the tangent function over the entire number line [0, +inf). An entire number line can be seen as a span of an unit vector, thus each shot increases the dimension of the span. This also implies that TSC is a being that is four-dimensional. 9:57 Sigma + limit = integral. If you try to derive the definite integral using the sum of rectangles method, you will eventually transform lim(sigma(f(...)) into integral(g(...)). 10:04 Calculating an integral of a function can be seen as getting the total (polar) area between the function and the number line. Thus the Integral Sword attacks with R2. 11:31 welcome to the imaginary realm. Hope you like it here.

What's so weird about it, it has a non-zero integral despite being different from zero in only a single point. It's a part of generalized functions (distributions), which are absolutely amazing, but rarely taught. Then there's weaker version, Sobolev functional spaces, which is used more often, but is less amazing. Imagine, being able to integrate and differentiate (integrate by parts) everything.

TSC discovered the entire realm of calculus in under 15 minutes, seriously one of the coolest parts was when the Euler monster derived from e caught the shot infinity in a limit, and using the 0-∞ integral, that seriously was like a woah moment Another thing i dont see anyone pointing out is aleph null as a behemoth due to it being the smallest infinity, i loved every bit of this, its my third time rewatching

The function he condensed into f(•) is 9 × (sin(π)/cos(π)). Since sin(π) = 0, the whole equation simplifies down to 0 regardless of what the input is because everything is multiplied together. When he shoots the e^iπ instances with it, they get fed through a function that always returns 0, therefore they become 0.

Some of my favourite things from this masterpiece I noticed: 1:39 e^iπ = -1 1:49 Multiplying by i probably can be represented here as moving to another dimention (of complex numbers) as they're located in a real one 2:37 The division here for a÷b=c is interpreted as "c is how many times you must subtract b from a to get 0" which easily explains later why you can't divide by 0 3:08 The squared number is literally interpreted as a square-shaped sum of single units 4:12 The e^iπ tries to run away to another dimention again by multiplying itself by i but TSC hits it with another i so i×i=-1 returns it back to real numbers 4:16 The e^iπ extends itself according to Euler's formula 4:19 TSC gets hit with minus so he flips 4:22 The reason why e^iπ rides a semicircle comes from visual explaining of e^iπ=-1. e^ix means that you return the value of a particular point in complex plane which you get to through a path of x radians counterclockwise from 1. Therefore e^iπ equals to -1 because π radians is exactly a semicircle. When the e^iπ sets itself to 0 power (e^i0) it returns back to 1 through a semicircle because well 1 is zero radians apart from 1. 4:46 When "+1" and "-1" swords cross they make a "0" effect 4:48 The e^iπ makes a "-4" sword which destroys TSC's "+1" sword making it zero, and as a result e^iπ is now holding "-3". Then the same thing repeats with "-3" and "-2". 4:53 The "2×2=" bow shoots fours 4:55 As I explained above, e^(iπ/4) means you move exaclty π/4 radians (quarter semicircle) counterclockwise 5:06 When you multiply a number by i in complex plane you just actually rotate the position vector of this number 90° counterclockwise, that's where a quarter circle came from 5:39 Each segment here is a radian, a special part of a circle in which the length of the arc coincides with the length of the radius (it's also shown at 5:46); the circle has exactly 2π radians which you can visually see is about 6.283 6:38 Visual explanation of π radians being a semicircle 6:48 Geometric interpretation of sinusoid 7:08 TSC once again multiplies the sine function by i which rotates its graph 90° 7:36 The sum literally shoots its addends so the value of n increases as the lower ones have just been used; you may also notice that every next addend gets the value of n higher and higher as well as extends to its actual full value when explodes 7:45 TSC multiplies the circle by π so he gets the area and can use it as shield 8:04 TSC uses minus on himself so he comes out from another side 8:17 The sinusoid as a laser beam is just priceless 9:02 Multiplying the radius by π here is interpreted as rotating it 180° 9:23 +7i literally means 7 units up in complex plane 9:38 Here is some kind of math pun. TSC shoots with infinity which creates the set of all real numbers (ℝ). With every other shot he creates another set which represents as ℝ², ℝ³ etc. It also means span (vector) in linear algebra and with every other ℝ this vector receives another dimention (x₁, x₂, x₃ etc.). 9:58 The sum monster absorbs infinity (shown as limit) and receives an integral from 0 to ∞ 13:34 The golden ratio (φ) when approaching e^iπ takes smaller and smaller steps which shorten according to the golden ratio (each step is about 1.618 shorter than the previous one) 13:46 Aleph (ℵ) represents the size of an infinite set so is presented here as enormously sized number

Can you explain what that "e" thing is then? The one that is seemingly "sentient" in this math world? What does it mean and why is it the only thing that can create those "portals" to what I assume is a dimension to imaginary numbers.

@@TheEpicGalaxy21e is a very unique number in math. It represents an actual number like pi. For example the derivative of e^x is e^x. e is also used a lot when it comes to interest calculations.

[@fascher_]

Please make more if possible, this is incredible work. As someone who isn't knowledgeable on math, I've genuinely never seen some of these concepts pictured like this, ever. But its much easier to understand at least intuitively in an animation like this. Needing to keep things simple so things can be animated and clear, plus not having dialogue, or even text to explain are the limits that make this a really effective educational tool. It helps that the sound design and music is very satisfying. Great work, seriously, must have taken ages.

[@RateOfChange]

As someone who's been into math since I was 12, this is the best visualization on equations, expressions, symmetry and the true meaning of math as a whole I've ever come accross. This is not just entertainment, this is pure genius. It's brilliant. By the way, I loved how the so called "most beautiful equation" (aka Euler's identity) shows up and basically tries to trick the stickman. That's quite deep. If you know what that equation means, it makes total sense. Also, I loved when they got into the imaginary domain for a brief moment and everything seemed broken, then they came back to the real numbers domain at a different position in space, which also makes perfect sense if you know a bit about operations using imaginary numbers. Every single frame of this video makes perfect sense, really. Not to mention the overal details such as the animation, the plot, the way things build up with math concepts and ideas showing up in a logical order, soundtrack, sound effects... 3blue1brown would be proud. Again, genius.

This really feels like Alan's old animations, before they became a series. Something exists, it gets explored, big fight, bigger fight, biggest fight, then end. No context, nothing. Except, now the quality of animation is something exceptional.

[@Fredo22]

even before the quality was great tbh

[@fitzchevalerie6597]

not exceptional, exponential

[@BatzelChaos]

@@fitzchevalerie6597 Erm... what? Exponential means something that is increasing at an increasing rate. Exceptional on the other hand, means something different, unique; incredible. Just another fancy word, but fits the context and I fancied using it for no reason. Exponential doesn't fit the context?

[@fitzchevalerie6597]

It fits because we're talking about the quality, it gets better and better each time at an increasing rate, finally, I think exponential is more fiitting and it has a strong bond with maths, wich is the subject of this video, I hope I was clear

[@BatzelChaos]

@@fitzchevalerie6597 That is a nice viewpoint, but I think you should have worded it more clearly. I thought you were suggesting to just switch the words, when that breaks the sentence completely, but it can be reworded to fit "exponenttial". Other than that, pretty great pun :D
