Make Numbers Your Friends

"Tell me who your friends, I will tell you who you are" says a famous Russian Proverb. In the current scenario in which we are inundated with social media this saying can be techified (if there is a word as such.. May the English teachers forgive me..) as,

Tell me which Channels you subscribe in YouTube, I will tell you who you are.

Social media has evolved as our primary information consumption source. Irrespective of age, educational qualification, social backdrop, most of us are submerged into the sea of YouTube videos. Day in Day out, we are connected with YouTube. No wonder, YouTube has many great resources and many many not so great resources.  Locating the proper channels is what decides whether you procrastinate in YouTube or up-skill yourself. In this post, I thought of sharing two of the YouTube channels, that will assist you in up-skilling your understanding of Mathematical concepts.

NumberPhile

Numberphile is one of the excellent channels if you are interested in Numbers. Its a very popular channel with more than 4 Million subscribers. The manner in which they narrate the ideas, the demonstrations all are absolutely a delight. Here is one of my favourite video from Numberphile:

A million digits of Pi on one piece of paper.

Their Pi Play List is awesome. You can keep watching it like a web series, if you have interest in exploring the thrilling world of Pi. 

Explore the official website of Numberphile for more. 

3Blue1Brown

If you are a visual learner then this would be of great use for you. 3Blue1Brown has 4.6 Million subscribers (as of this writing). In 3Blue1Brown, even the complex Mathematical concepts are explained visually. You can literally see the solution building process. For many learners, one of the barriers is to internalise the ideas while learning a Mathematical concept. 3Blue1Brown removes these barriers and enhances this internalisation process. One of my favourite videos from this channel is:

The Essence of Calculus:

This channel has many useful playlists that guides you in step by step learning. For example, in this Calculus series, there are 12 videos. Exploring through them, you can understand the ideas visually without much strain. Explore their official homepage for more. 

Make Numbers your friends with the help of these channels. You may be knowing about similar channels that you are using to upskill yourself. Feel free to mention in the comments.
