Saw this movie for the first time yesterday. It really blew my mind. I'm so thankful that there are some incredibly bright people in this world 😮🙏

[@luisakehau1398]

It's nice to see some differential geometry on a Sunday morning. Here in Mexico (at some universities) differential geometry is an optional course, you can study a math degree without having differential geometry. That's not a good move I think hahaha

[@amberc.1221]

i love this so much! hidden figures is my favorite movie ever ♡

[@ericerpelding2348]

At 9:33 what is the title of the book? It is "The Mathematics of Physics and Chemistry, Second Edition" by Henry Margenau and George Moseley Murphy. Section 13.7, "The Modified Euler Method" is on page 485.

[@lauradehart1397]

I love you videos!! I studied some math at university and now teach high school math. Your videos give me my little fix of higher level math!! :)

[@heimerblaster976]

A great video Ellie !

[@AhmedSalah-cm6hh]

I love your videos and style keep going 🤜🏾🤛🏾

[@jamiewalker329]

Lol, if someone was going to send me into space, then they better be using Runge Kutta rather than Euler leapfrog....I don't want to be flung into the Sun.

[@amanuelbekele5857]

Thank you Ellie for your time, God bless you.

[@darz3]

Hi Ellie, in the film I thought Katherine was computing a point in an orbit for a burn to achieve a reasonably accurate splashdown point? really enjoying your videos

[@mathunt1130]

Euler's method is "ancient"? it's about 300-400 or so years old, not thousands!!!

[@leif1075]

Well that could be considered ancient by human standards right? especially if you think that no one we know was alive or will be alive in that much time even maube great grandparents or children...unless human life slabs radically extend soon..

[@antoniofranca1903]

Im really in love with yours ideias!!!

[@willieboy8798]

excellent depiction! for the time this was a really tough problem today college bound hs students can do this stuff on the library computer! this information is put into a navigation sub system on a handheld interface hanging off the instrument panel that came out of an on the wall cable key patch box!! times a changing!!! huh

[@southsponge3216]

Love your videos on math but I would love to see a few coding videos where you explain what you code/what math you do at work :D

[@feedmed0nut]

Hi! I am a freshman major in Electrical Engineering from Vietnam! I love your videos and I really want to know your tips on studying maths to be the best student! I hope that you could make a video about that ;))

[@tanusharma1838]

Can you give me correct reason about the "Ramanujan Summation Series" that is how 1+2+3+.............+to infinity = -1/12. By the way I am from India.😊

[@soobindoll9561]

I love the videos.

[@beancount811]

Ooh ooh. I've got a dad joke for this one! Numerical analysts gather for the funeral of Bob the astronaut, who sadly burned up on re-entry the day before. Everyone's in tears, when one of them speaks up: "Team, we shouldn't have gone off that tangent. Bob would still be alive if we hadn't." "How so?" "It was too long..."😱 I'll get my coat!😅

[@willpowermotivation9512]

Hello , Can you please try UPSC exam maths paper (it is also consider as india toughest exam) btw, great video

[@4tarsus]

nice flying saucer! P.S. @9:27 - Sheldon Cooper gets schooled!

[@MikeFuller-ok6ok]

I don't know whether you understand Lattice theory, Ellie, but I wouldn't put it past you. Happy Christmas and New Year to You and All Your Family! My favourite film 'Killdozer' ( 1974 ).

[@Sauravkumar-kt1td]

Which books did you use in your university

[@HBV-um1lq]

Hi Ellie, if your schedule allows would you be interested in creating a vlog about Sir Isaac Newton's house? Imagine doing math in his house

[@joaofrankmann1588]

that's soooo cool! btw which software did you used to write/draw the answers?

[@birch8109]

I think it may be notability

[@bm-xi4bw]

Thank You puzzle on NASA D233(21) solved.

[@subhrohalder4104]

Interesting content 👀👏

[@davidplanet3919]

“Euler’s method!”. I hope that was the backwards Euler method for stability Katherine.

[@bipmix]

really enjoy your videos; one suggestion: get a different or better mic, or fix the settings or the mix.

[@EllieSleightholm]

Thank you! Can you tell me what’s wrong with the mic? I’m currently in the process of getting a new one so would love to know what’s wrong with the current one so I can improve ☺️

[@ahmetbely]

Can you try Turkish students exams ÖSYM or YKS exams its being sometimes so hard 2021 YKS was so hard ❤❤

[@armanavagyan1876]

Keep up the great work👍

[@rafaelmagalhaes4747]

Could you solve the equation that Sheldon couldn't solve in a competition during the Big Bang Theory series?

[@joey1317]

But you didn’t solve the roswell equation from Big Bang theory

[@bhaskarranjan8221]

❤❤❤❤ good❤❤❤❤

[@armanavagyan1876]

First of all UR a genius to be able to finish CAMBRIDGE university most prestigious number 1 in the world second thanks very much it's really very interesting to watch problems from movies.

[@wishiwasfake]

I don’t know why I’m here because I can’t even do long division. 🤷‍♀️
