Euclidean Distance: Math, Applications and Code

Welcome to a comprehensive guide on the Euclidean distance! In this video, you'll learn how to calculate the straight-line distance between two points, starting with 1D and gradually expanding to higher dimensions.
Understanding Euclidean distance is crucial in various fields, including mathematics, data science, and computer science. I'll demystify this concept by providing intuitive visualizations and animations, making it easier for all levels to understand.
Not only will we explore the theory behind Euclidean distance, but we'll also dive into real-world examples where it finds practical applications. These examples relate to my self-driving car and machine learning courses (links below).
To help you apply this knowledge, we'll implement the Euclidean distance using JavaScript and Python. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced coder, our tutorial will equip you with the skills to implement Euclidean distance calculations in your own projects.

[@Radu]

I've been wanting to make a video about the Euclidean distance for the last 3 years, but visualizing higher dimensional spaces is hard and I didn't have the skills to do it back then. Now, with an extra push from the #SoME3 competition, I managed to do something I'm quite happy with. What do you guys think? :-)

Awesome video as usual😎

This video deserves a prize! Great visualization and explanation! It opens your mind!

Oh my god!!!! Your tutorial are like dream come true for those who want to understand things so clearly as you explain. I want to become a teacher like you. I'm also learning a lot from your videos. Thankyou for putting so much efforts in making these videos and making it available for free.

My god that was simply INCREDIBLE! The visualization from the car "learning" to drive made me understand how that type of AI classifies the sensors distance to decide which way to turn! Awesome video Radu!!!

[@Radu]

Wow, thanks! :-) [btw, looks like your drawing made it here as well]

[@pesterenan]

@Radu Yeah! That is so cool, hahaha. You really know how to integrate your viewers on your videos :D

[@Radu]

I try :-)

[@jholloway77]

This was fantastic. I used what I learn to make an application that matched products by their RGB color values, pairing the different products brands with the closest colored products from other brands. Not as fancy as the car application, but using it to automate data saved me a day of work!

[@Radu]

It's great you found your own application to use it in :-) Nice work!

[@zaks88]

so basically any feature added to distinguish shapes from the drawings is a new dimension right?

🥳 I have a q How to make something like gpt with the same things like we did it in recognition

[@Radu]

First step is to convert words into numbers (feature vectors). You can look up word2vec online (there are others as well). It's not the full story for getting something like GPT but it's the step that makes the problem more similar to those we studied.

[@unknown-bx8my]

[@gaming_zen_99]

Hey Bro! So I have been practicing coding for many month's now but nowadays I feel like I am nothing learning/improving as much as I used to before. What can I do about it?

[@Radu]

In general, learning curves look like what you describe. You quickly get the basics down, and then improvements naturally come slower. It might be just normal.

[@klirmio21]

bro your intro... omg.... you probably could be working at Google and earn so much money with your skills and brains... the intro amazed me holy fuck Edited after I watched it: Bruh.... I am speechless... If only I had such resources when I was at school, I would've probably finished it with much better grades. How do you make all those visualizations? Is that a program, or what? Like, when you showed the math, or when there were sensors showing when the car moving and on the right the whole "tree" was lighting up accordingly... There's a lot intertwined to Hypotenuse and pythagorean theorem, and squre root...

[@Radu]

Thank you :-) I'm glad to hear you liked it so much. I coded everything you see here, pretty much... visualizing the math, the self-driving car with the sensors (I have a full course on that) I just used it here (easy). And the drawing recognizer is from my machine learning course (also on KZbin). The Pythagorean theorem is from one of my other explainers (check out the math and code fundamentals playlist).
