also might as well explain all of elementary algebra

She's like a mathematical Dr. Seuss

You have an incredibly gifted and talented mind. As an engineering student, your videos help me see the art in mathematics, something very few professors are able to do with their students. I really hope you get recognized for your amazing abilities.

This video makes all of us wonder if Vi Hart has synesthesia.

Have you just crammed a masters thesis into 9 minutes ten seconds?

[@zippomage]

this video makes me really upset, because I realize how much of the world was robbed from me by my standardized education.

[@Vulcapyro]

I'm angry that our current legion of math teachers are teachers who have been educated to teach, and not educated to understand math or teach it. The teachers who know they can't teach math head into elementary and middle schools instead because they find it easier, and end up poisoning the foundation of our new generation's understanding.

I just learned more in 10 minutes than I would have over 43 minutes once every 5 days... Can you apply to be a math teacher at my school?

I was waiting for her to point out how STCx (or as she says it "sticks") and logs are basically the same thing, and then maybe something witty about "leaves."

[@FrankenPC]

For all of wondering why we don't teach children in this manner, it would require the teachers to be able to think with the same agility as Vihart. Probably not going to happen on that kind of salary.

It looks like you colored in the negative space for your reverse plus ones instead of writing in white on black paper. I thought that was pretty poetic.

"Sometimes to make the harder things simple, first you have to make the simple things harder"

[@Ace12GA]

I am disturbed by the fact that a 9 minute video just explained this better than several days in college level math classes. Well done.

[@novachromatic]

One of the best math videos I've ever watched. Ditching roots for fractional exponents is such a good idea!

[@James_Haskin]

This is quite possibly THE MOTHER OF ALL MATH LESSONS, in that, to my knowledge, this has the most information in the least amount of time of any lesson I’ve seen online.

"stop and smell the factors"

[@wintersummers3085]

If my teachers taught like this when I was learning algebra then everything else would be child's play. Seriously, this is the best way to teach algebra.

[@EpicFishStudio]

I hope you are teacher or eventually become one,

[@learnerlearns]

Just brilliant! Beautiful hands, beautiful mind. Clear simple explanations. Logical progression of ideas. Even a sense of poetry about numbers.... And then this: "Counting in a timesy way."

you reminded me why i hated and slept at most of my math classes i high school, then you showed why i love it now that am in college
