Alan Becker is a master storyteller on this platform and his animations never fail to astound the viewer. As you can see, this video is no different and is definitely one of his most creative works. Not sure if the rest of his content would be applicable to your expertise though, since the two main series on his channel are Animator vs. Animation and Animation vs. Minecraft. Anyway, I loved to have heard what you thought about this one. Great reaction!

Having the 'antagonist' be e^iπ is such a great idea because its something that you can run into so easily which is very alien and doesnt make sense. And in the beginning when all you have is addition and subtraction it easily eludes you

[@CaptainCFalcon]

See, I've always actually enjoyed math *_itself._* The problems I've had with math *_class_* is the way that the American Board of Education believes math should be *_learned._* Math has always been about using logic to find answers & solve problems. And translating that knowledge into real life situations is why it's a useful skill. But the way that math class works is that it goes through all of the MANY things of math at a very slow rate & you are punished for attempting to solve a given problem outside of the *_intended_* equation. Regardless of whether you found the *_correct answer,_* if you failed to solve the problem the way you're *_TOLD_* to. And that's not really what math is about. Math is about questioning what we know as factual & searching for new ways to solve the same problems. It's *_MEANT_* to make you get creative.

In my high school philosophy class, the teacher put 1+1 up on the board and asked the class what does it equal? Everyone kept saying 2, but the teacher believed the result to be different. He said that 1+1 = 1+1 and reminded us that we need to think outside the box when studying organized systems of thought. He never asked for a math solution to his equation only that we understood the true meaning of "equal".

[@cye2310]

I think you could understand it in a way that 1+1=2. Do 1+1 and 2 look the same? No. Do they sound the same? no. Are they equal? yes! So even though some people look and sound differently, we're all equal!

[@obiwanpez]

"1+1=3, for especially large values of 1."

[@DanaOtken]

The reason I feel mathematicians like to put the 1 and 0 in Euler's Identity is that it preserves the theme you go through proving that: you basically combine arithmetic, algebra, trigonometry and calculus in a way which shows you how all of those things you've probably been studying separately in their own classes are in fact all deeply interconnected. Zero was as important a concept in the development of mathematics as 1, and so it's aesthetically pleasing when you already have pi, i, and e in the equation to add in both 1 and 0 to represent additional parts of all those steps that led to Euler's Identity as a thing we've proven and accept. (Personally, I prefer writing it as "+ 0 = -1".)

[@skilz8098]

Nice take. Also I don't think it was just Euler with his identity that showcases this. Slightly different topic yet Boolean Algebra based on Logic shows the importance of both 0 and 1 being equally important as to the fundamental core foundation of a two state system. Well, it doesn't have to be exactly 0 and 1, it can be true and false, on and off, etc... Yet the concept of how equally important opposites are in order to even have a 2 state system in the first place is one of the bigger takeaways. Now, I'm not claiming that Boole himself has made this kind of deduction or not, I'm just stating this from my own perspective and intuition. This opposition is very straight forward from a basic mathematical perspective, except that in this context it's the opposition of 1 and -1 both being on the same line (180 degrees or PI radians) where they are both represented as a vector , . Here their magnitudes or lengths are the same, but their directions are opposing. And if we take the dot product of these two it returns a result of -1. And if we take the arccos of -1 we get π radians. And exactly in the middle of 1 and -1 is of course 0. This is one of the many reasons I love math! So even Boolean Algebra has an unseen connection to other fields of mathematics including Euler's Identity. To extend this even a bit farther, one could start to go down the path of Lambda Calculus.

It looks like the division with the minus and the colon, ÷, means "the number of times you need to subtract the denominator from the numerator to cancel out the numerator", the literal inverse of multiplication. So 6 ÷ 0 kept going and going. It was so cool to learn that from the animation video.

[@watchm4ker]

That section demonstrates the naive approach to long multiplication and division, which was in common use with mechanical calculators and CPUs lacking dedicated MUL and DIV hardware

[@obiwanpez]

e^(i*pi) + 1 = 0 exists, rather than using e^(i*pi) = -1, because we like using the identity values, 0 for additive, 1 for multiplicative. This whole process is used (with a lot less gusto) in Abstract Algebra, usually a junior-level math-majors' class.

One of my favorite parts within the video is when the stick figure discovers division. His progression through that scene when he triggers division by 0 for me is a very accurate and true version of division by 0. We are all taught that it's undefined and that it's an error and that it can not be done. Yet this animation shows that division by 0 is infinite recursion without a terminal or exit case based on the fact that division is an extension of repeated subtraction. For me this was one of my favorite scenes. There are other worthy mentions too. For example when the stick figure is shooting 4 at the e term. He blocks it and the exponent of i*pi becomes divisible by 4 so e^(i*pi) consumed the 4 and through basic transformation it became e^( (i*pi)/4 ) and it rotated by exactly 45 degrees or PI/4 radians. Also when the e^(i*p) term started to fight back with it's weapon of summation of an infinite series... it's just great. Then when the stick figure discovers the imaginary numbers and the complex plain and constructed the unit circle... The entire story or video just progressively became or epic. Then in the final scene when they started to work together and e performs a transformation on the stick figure to a different manifold or dimension, the other symbols come out and join e and in the background there's Aleph towering over all of them marching along. This really show cased the comparison of different infinities especially within group or set theory. Yeah this video is definitely a gem!

[@coyote4440]

4:32 - I think mathematicians like to equate everything to zero, because any expression (as long as it is zero) can be combined with another expression (add or subtract, or equate expressions both equal to zero with each other) and then you can do some fancy transformations (like reduction) and end up getting interesting results just by shuffling the numbers. The zero is just very convinient.

If I had been shown this as a kid, my whole LIFE would have been so different!! I didn't care for math and because i didn't try to understand it. This was Staggering and Awe inspiring. My foundation has been shattered and reforged. I feel remorse for the world I denied willingly. Sorry, I feel emotional. =)

Something I've noticed a lot of people not quite catching is how when he tries to divide by 0, the music in the back starts to intensify as the division keeps happening, until it abruptly stops when he changes the division sign. It's just a funny bit of tension, because everybody knows that dividing by 0 is never a good thing, & the music starting to become more intense by the second was building up that *_SOMETHING_* bad was gonna happen lol.

[@BiggerBear]

Yeah, genuinely surprised TSC didn’t create a black hole by doing that 😂

[@linca3671]

A series about him would be cool. ( Minecraft nuclear mod)

[@gerritvalkering1068]

"It's alive. It's probably irrational" Yeah, that was one of the greatest moments. It really was an irrational number
