[@ralphhebgen7067]

Well I am going to say it. I think you should rise above the level of click bait. “15 months sabbatical to focus on KZbin” would have been as catchy, generate interest and be informative by conveying the key message of the video.

Thou shalt not krill. Nature intends krill for sea creatures, not for consumption by yum-yum Costco octogenarians (these are not to be confused with Neah Bye cephalopods). It would be interesting to see a development of differential equations for predicting a shrinking of the krill biomass. To focus on variables like the removal of krill from the biomass by human fishing and the increasing demand by human markets for krill products by various countries. Taking into account a natural expanding and shrinking of this biomass by seasonality (Temperature). And to statistically predict the decline towards extinction of various and important legitimate krill predators such as baleen whales, penguins. Parameterized for the Antarctic Ocean.

Hey Trefor! As an undergraduate currently going through some very intense exams, your course playlists (particularly vector calculus) have been absolutely crucial in my studies. Thank you! Whilst there are plenty of KZbin channels on the "random interesting stuff", I feel there is a distinct lack of quality online courses. My only options are either recordings of university lectures (like MIT OCW) or search KZbin and hope someone has made a video on that individual topic. No one else makes the concise 3b1b style videos tha follow the content of an undergraduate course. It's the best of both worlds and you are incredible at it.

In my opinion, the course videos are more valuable because you can slowly build a deeper understanding of very complex and profound concepts for mechanisms that cannot be fully understood in one video - no matter how interesting the topic is. You have to look for something that can be understood with a relatively limited range of knowledge. But whatever you do I'm sure it will turn out great.

This is, sincerely, wonderful news. I attended a high school (in Australia) for gifted students, but always believed a didn't have "a math brain". I was then 'forced' to study maths at university as part of my course, but could never follow the teaching style at university. Out of desperation - and having developed a deep loathing of mathematics (actual anxiety attacks over my coursework) - I turned to KZbin. I still can't learn from my own lecturers, but you, Professor Leonard and The Maths Sorcerer have carried me all the way through Calculus IV. I now have one applied maths unit to go and, thanks to your great example, have decided to become a high school maths teacher myself. You have so beautifully modelled effective maths education and I want to be another person who unlocks the unfathomable for future students. To be more specific, I appreciate the way you scaffold learning: linking to past learning, modelling, demonstrating, providing visuals, etc. You don't just reel off theorem and expect the student to unpack all of that for their self. In addition, your channel is very well organised. It's not only very easy to find relevant videos, but I can select the playlist corresponding to a specific course and follow the logical sequence from beginning to end. This helps me to scaffold my own learning without needing to know how to sequence it for myself. Thank you. I just wanted to encourage you and let you know how very well you're achieving your goals in this space.

I hope this isn't too late! I would really love more videos on learning how to learn mathematics, specifically proof-based mathematics. The video of yours that I've replayed a dozen times is your math mind map video. I've gotten into mind maps and non-linear notetaking, but a lot of the resources are from a medical student and law student perspective and I'd love to see more of the pure math take where leaning on pictures instead of words is expanded on. Another piece of advice for learning is relating ideas to your real life, and I find that funny when trying to apply that to math because it seems like mathematicians created math because it was simple and beautiful and not like real life at all. The abstraction and disconnect from real life is what's supposed to be the enjoyable part but I think that makes it hard to grasp and learn when you get to higher levels. I've also heard from professors that it is good to have intuition sometimes but you don't want to be fooled by your intuition. When I'm learning something I want to imagine in my mind's eye what's happening, when I get to n-dimensional processes, what do I do when I can't trust what I imagine anymore?

It would be great if you could share your strategies like chunking or thinking of analogies etc. Sharing this process is kind of along the idea of “give a man a fish and he eats for a day, teach a man how to fish and he eats for life”.

I'd love to learn more about the questions that remain in mathematics- that is, as someone interested in going to grad school and doing research in the field, where are the boundaries of our knowledge? What are the topics or ideas that we "know we don't know", so to speak. I love a fully developed and pow 11:02 erful theory or field, but what excites me most is the work that is YET to be done, and that for me right now is just one big question mark. Math is not static, it is not finished, it is still developing, and I think that is an important point that most students don't often realize. Best of luck out there, very excited for you!

[@seiyo8786]

I just started university and I've been struggling a lot with keeping up with my classmates. I went into a course as a relatively enthusiastic/ casually curious math student who came right out of high school, only to realize that everyone around me seems to know so much more than me. The expectation seems that because it's a course oriented towards the mathematically curious minds, they assume we knew more than the average person despite the pre-requisite being high school calculus (which, to be fair, a lot of people do! Just not me I fear). I'm surrounded by people who seem to know so much more than me and as much as I've found it inspiring, I also can't help the underlying fear/ judgement I feel in the classroom/ lecture hall. I know people always say we should ask as many questions as possible to best further our understanding, but I can't help but feel the unspoken judgement whenever I ask a question about something that seems to be a given for everyone else in the room. Your videos have really helped me work through things on my own time.

Actually PDEs is right near the top of my list. I have a differential equations playlist but it stops too early and I can see in the analytics tonnes of people are watching that so definitely want to continue it into PDEs and more advanced ODEs

Waaaw! that's great news Prof. I am currently doing my Msc in algebra and discrete mathematics in University Vienna Austria. Your videos has been helpful. Please I look forward seeing content on algebra and discrete math. Thanks

[@arkanobot2080]

I Respect you, I learnt descrete math from you and aced my subjects and actually started loving discrete maths and linear algebra :D thank you for those videos ! hope to learn more ! :D

[@DrTrefor]

Fantastic!

[@greghearn7428]

I'm a math tutor and I enjoy recommending your videos to students or using them to self study so I am prepared for questions.

im a maths undergrad in the UK and your videos have helped me alott, wishing you luck

You really helped me a lot. This isn't some honey-smearing comment. I want to thank you. Your videos on Calculus helped me to get into Machine Learning and Quantum Mechanics. I struggled a lot with MvC. The moment it clicked for me was when I watched your Videos on Gradient. Since then my Math-knowledge skyrocketed. I bumped my head against an invisible wall before that moment, it was completely unclear for me how these concepts came into place. So, wholeheartly, thank you for your awesome contribution to that. I'm currently working on quantum machine learning.

Best of luck Dr Trefor! We learn so much from your amazing videos!

[@cesarmoreno987y]

Excited for this big step for you! Looking forward to it!

[@MiroslawHorbal]

Wish you the best on your time of focus on youtube and hopefully this gives you more growth. Your videos are an excellent resource for people like myself that like to self study. One thing to maybe consider, could you please post some practice problems with your course content? Would be incredible if we could go beyond videos or having to find our resources to practice what we learn.

[@DrTrefor]

I'm actually moving a bit in this direction, working on companion (open source) sites to extend the video. Not sure 100% where this is going to end up.

[@tahauysal329]

I love your discrete math videos, would be happy to see more detailed ones.

[@falafeelking]

Amazing news! Congrats man!!! If I can suggest some content for the channel, I’d love to learn tensors, a series of tensors would be absolutely awesome!!! I also need it for my math-tools as I’m studying material engineering

[@uzairhoosen2265]

Complex Analysis would be really appreciated Sir . You've got a great way of explaining. Your teaching approach is superior: you unpack every topic so thoroughly, significantly increasing understanding. Highly Appreciated !
