Why 4d geometry makes me sad

Why 4d geometry makes me sad

A series of delightful geometry puzzles Bonus video with extra puzzles: https://www.patreon.com/posts/115570453 The artwork at the end is by Kurt Bruns Thanks to Daniel Kim for sharing the first two puzzles with me. He mentioned the earliest reference he knows for the tile puzzles is David and Tomei's AMM article titled "The problem of Calissons." The idea to include the tetrahedron volume example was based on a conversation with Po Shen Lo about these puzzles, during which he mentioned the case of one dimension lower. I received the cone correction to the proof of Monge's theorem from Akos Zahorsky via email. Also, the Bulgarian team leader Velian Velikov brought up the same argument to me and mentioned " I came across it in a book I found online titled 'Mathematical Puzzles' by Peter Winkler. There, it is attributed to Nathan Bowler" I referenced quaternions at the end, and if you're curious to learn more, here are a few options. This is a nice talk targetted at game developers: https://youtu.be/en2QcehKJd8 This video walks through concretely what the computation is for using quaternions to compute 3d rotations: https://youtu.be/-zsnHbQyRnc My own video on the topic is mainly focused on understanding what they do up in four dimensions, which is not strictly necessary for using them, but for math nerds like me may be satisfying: https://youtu.be/d4EgbgTm0Bg Also, one of the coolest projects I've ever done was a collaboration with Ben Eater to make interactive videos based on that topic: https://eater.net/quaternions Timestamps - 0:00 - Intro - 0:32 - Twirling tiles - 6:45 - Tarski Plank Problem - 10:24 - Monge’s Theorem - 17:26 - 3D Volume, 4D answer - 18:51 - The hypercube stack - 25:52 - The sadness of higher dimensions Corrections: 18:49 - The formula for the 3x3 shown is messed up. The "c" got swapped out for a second "d", and the signs are wrong. (There was a silly bug in the code generating it) 25:10 - I mention the "squished cube" shape involves 6 copies of the 60-degree, 120-degree rhombus from the beginning. This is not true, the rhombuses in that projection of the hypercube cell will have internal angles of ~109.5 and 70.5 SEV#3: https://youtu.be/vXBtyYvMx24 ------------------ These animations are largely made using a custom Python library, manim.

How are holograms possible? | Optics puzzles 5

3d scenes on 2d film, and a diffraction lesson along the way. Instead of sponsored ad reads, these lessons are funded directly by viewers: https://3b1b.co/support An equally valuable form of support is to share the videos. Thanks to everyone who helped with this project: Paul Dancstep, for help writing, and for all the 3d modeling Craig Newswanger and Sally Weber, for making the central hologram shown Kurt Bruns, for the artwork of Dennis Gabor Phoebe Tooke, Wayne Grim, and Rick Danielson, for filming at the exploratorium Quinn Brodsky and Mithuna Yoganathan, for footage of lasers through diffraction gratings Vince Rubinetti, for writing the music Cliff Stoll for the Klein Bottle Hologram credits (thanks to the commenter tovedelenius1228): The Microscope is by Walter Spierings, 1984 Lucy in a Tin Hat is by Patrick Keown Boyd, 1988 The Star Wars-themed Direct-Write Digital Holograms were produced by Zebra Imaging. The 'Shakespeare' embossed animated integral hologram was made by Applied Holographics. Mathematical corrections: 1) In the analysis for the distance between zone plate fringes, we should do a Taylor approximation about d=0, not about x=0. If you this right, the result at the bottom will look like x / sqrt(L^2 + x^2), which conveniently cancels out another (much sillier) mistake, which is how x / L in this case is not sin(theta'), but tan(theta'). Thanks to those who spotted that, I guess I must have been happy enough to see the desired sin(theta') at the end that I didn't properly double-check how we got there. 2) In the end, I referenced treating |R^2| as "some real number", so that it's only scaling O. This only makes sense to do because the amplitude of R is constant. Or at least, it varies only very slowly around a point. In this way, what I say a few moments later about making no assumptions about R is not quite right, we do need to assume it's a wave with relatively constant magnitude across the film.

The mathematically optimal Wordle strategy

An excuse to teach a lesson on information theory and entropy. Help fund future projects: https://www.patreon.com/3blue1brown​ Special thanks to these supporters: https://3b1b.co/thanks An equally valuable form of support is to simply share the videos. Note, the way I wrote the rules for coloring while doing this project differs slightly from the real Wordle when it comes to multiple letters. For example, suppose in a word like "woody" the first 'o' is correct, hence green, then in the real Wordle that second 'o' would be grey, whereas the way I wrote things the rule as simply any letter which is in the word somewhere, but not in the right position, will be yellow. To be honest, even after realizing this differed from the proper rule, I stuck with it because it made the computation of the full matrix of word-combination patterns more elegant (and faster), and the normal rule has always slightly bothered me. Of course, it doesn't make any difference for the actual lesson here on entropy, which is the primary goal, and at least as I've gone back tried rerunning some of the models with the correct convention, it doesn't really change the final results.

The medical test paradox: Can redesigning Bayes rule help?

The medical test paradox: Can redesigning Bayes rule help?

About Likelihood Ratios, also sometimes called Bayes Factors*. Home page: https://www.3blue1brown.com Brought to you by you: https://3b1b.co/bayes-factor-thanks The book by my friend Matt Cook about paradoxes mentioned at the end: https://amzn.to/3aBrEzg On the topic, I can't help also mentioning another paradox book I'm rather fond of by Bunch: https://amzn.to/3mBDSKE *As mentioned in the on-screen note at the end, while the terms "Bayes Factor" and "Likelihood Ratio" refer to the same ratio in this setting, where Bayes rule is used on the probability of an event with only two possible outcomes (you either have the disease or you don't), they do take on divergent meanings in more general contexts. Namely, if you have a continuous parameter you are trying to estimate, the two terms reflect two alternate approaches you can use in comparing hypotheses. In fact, some people take the phrase "Bayes factor" to _specifically_ refer to its use in this more continuous context. If you want more details, Wikipedia actually has a really nice example discussing the difference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayes_factor#Example This post has some nice discussion of the distinction: https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/27345/likelihood-ratio-vs-bayes-factor ------------------ These animations are largely made using manim, a scrappy open source python library: https://github.com/3b1b/manim If you want to check it out, I feel compelled to warn you that it's not the most well-documented tool, and it has many other quirks you might expect in a library someone wrote with only their own use in mind.

Why “probability of 0” does not mean “impossible” | Probabilities of probabilities, part 2

An introduction to probability density functions Home page: https://www.3blue1brown.com Brought to you by you: http://3b1b.co/thanks Curious about measure theory? This does require some background in real analysis, but if you want to dig in, here is a textbook by the always great Terence Tao. https://terrytao.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/measure-book1.pdf Also, for the real analysis buffs among you, there was one statement I made in this video that is a rather nice puzzle. Namely, if the probabilities for each value in a given range (of the real number line) are all non-zero, no matter how small, their sum will be infinite. This isn't immediately obvious, given that you can have convergent sums of countable infinitely many values, but if you're up for it see if you can prove that the sum of any uncountable infinite collection of positive values must blow up to infinity. ------------------ These animations are largely made using manim, a scrappy open source python library: https://github.com/3b1b/manim If you want to check it out, I feel compelled to warn you that it's not the most well-documented tool, and it has many other quirks you might expect in a library someone wrote with only their own use in mind.

Exponential growth and epidemics

Exponential growth and epidemics

A good time for a primer on exponential and logistic growth, no? Home page: https://www.3blue1brown.com Brought to you by you: http://3b1b.co/covid-thanks Data source: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/coronavirus-cases/#total-cases Some have (quite rightfully) commented on how you shouldn't look at the R^2 of linear regressions on cumulative data since even for completely random changes each total is not at all independent of the last. Since the derivative of an exponential should also be an exponential, we could instead run the same test on the logarithms of the differences from day to day, which in this case gives R^2 = 0.91. While this video uses COVID-19 (aka the Coronavirus) as a motivating example, the main goal is simply a math lesson on exponentials and logistic curves. If you're looking for a video more focused on COVID-19 itself, I'd recommend taking a look at this one from Osmosis: https://youtu.be/cFB_C2ieW5I Extrapolation xkcd: https://xkcd.com/605/ ------------------ These animations are largely made using manim, a scrappy open source python library: https://github.com/3b1b/manim If you want to check it out, I feel compelled to warn you that it's not the most well-documented tool, and it has many other quirks you might expect in a library someone wrote with only their own use in mind.

Why do prime numbers make these spirals?

EK32jo7i5LQ | 08 Oct 2019

Why do prime numbers make these spirals?

A story of mathematical play. Home page: https://www.3blue1brown.com Brought to you by you: http://3b1b.co/spiral-thanks Based on this Math Stack Exchange post: https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/885879/meaning-of-rays-in-polar-plot-of-prime-numbers/885894 Want to learn more about rational approximations? See this Mathologer video. https://youtu.be/CaasbfdJdJg Also, if you haven't heard of Ulam Spirals, you may enjoy this Numberphile video: https://youtu.be/iFuR97YcSLM Dirichlet's paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/0808.1408.pdf Important error correction: In the video, I say that Dirichlet showed that the primes are equally distributed among allowable residue classes, but this is not historically accurate. (By "allowable", here, I mean a residue class whose elements are coprime to the modulus, as described in the video). What he actually showed is that the sum of the reciprocals of all primes in a given allowable residue class diverges, which proves that there are infinitely many primes in such a sequence. Dirichlet observed this equal distribution numerically and noted this in his paper, but it wasn't until decades later that this fact was properly proved, as it required building on some of the work of Riemann in his famous 1859 paper. If I'm not mistaken, I think it wasn't until Vallée Poussin in (1899), with a version of the prime number theorem for residue classes like this, but I could be wrong there. In many ways, this was a very silly error for me to have let through. It is true that this result was proven with heavy use of complex analysis, and in fact, it's in a complex analysis lecture that I remember first learning about it. But of course, this would have to have happened after Dirichlet because it would have to have happened after Riemann! My apologies for the mistake. If you notice factual errors in videos that are not already mentioned in the video's description or pinned comment, don't hesitate to let me know. ------------------ These animations are largely made using manim, a scrappy open-source python library: https://github.com/3b1b/manim If you want to check it out, I feel compelled to warn you that it's not the most well-documented tool, and it has many other quirks you might expect in a library someone wrote with only their own use in mind.

Euler's formula intuition from relating velocities to positions. Home page: https://www.3blue1brown.com Yeah yeah, the runtime is 4:08, but it's 3.14 minutes to the conclusion.

I do know you can find it in Tristan Needham's excellent book "Visual Complex Analysis", but if anyone has a sense of the first occurrence of this intuition do feel free to share. It's simple and natural enough, though, that it's probably a view which has been independently thought up many times over. ------------------ These animations are largely made using manim, a scrappy open source python library: https://github.com/3b1b/manim If you want to check it out, I feel compelled to warn you that it's not the most well-documented tool, and it has many other quirks you might expect in a library someone wrote with only their own use in mind.

How colliding blocks act like a beam of light...to compute pi.

How colliding blocks act like a beam of light...to compute pi.

For example, the case of equal masses gives an angle of pi/4, and 3 total clacks. This beautiful result, and the solution shown here, are due to Gregory Galperin: https://www.maths.tcd.ie/~lebed/Galperin.%20Playing%20pool%20with%20pi.pdf And here's a lovely interactive built by GitHub user prajwalsouza after watching this video: https://prajwalsouza.github.io/Experiments/Colliding-Blocks.html Speaking of looking glass universes... https://www.youtube.com/user/LookingGlassUniverse NY Times blog post about this problem: https://wordplay.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/03/10/pi/ The plushie pi shown at the video's start: https://www.3blue1brown.com/store If you want to contribute translated subtitles or to help review those that have already been made by others and need approval, you can click the gear icon in the video and go to subtitles/cc, then "add subtitles/cc".

Why do colliding blocks compute pi?

Why do colliding blocks compute pi?

Part 1: https://youtu.be/HEfHFsfGXjs Part 3: https://youtu.be/brU5yLm9DZM Home page: https://www.3blue1brown.com Brought to you by you: http://3b1b.co/clacks-thanks Many of you shared solutions, attempts, and simulations with me this last week. I loved it! Y'all are the best. Here are just two of my favorites. By a channel STEM cell: https://youtu.be/ils7GZqp_iE By Doga Kurkcuoglu: http://bilimneguzellan.net/bouncing-cubes-and-%CF%80-3blue1brown/ And here's a lovely interactive built by GitHub user prajwalsouza after watching this video: https://prajwalsouza.github.io/Experiments/Colliding-Blocks.html NY Times blog post about this problem: https://wordplay.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/03/10/pi/ The original paper by Gregory Galperin: https://www.maths.tcd.ie/~lebed/Galperin.%20Playing%20pool%20with%20pi.pdf For anyone curious about if the tan(x) ≈ x approximation, being off by only a cubic error term, is actually close enough not to affect the final count, take a look at sections 9 and 10 of Galperin's paper. In short, it could break if there were some point where among the first 2N digits of pi, the last N of them were all 9's. This seems exceedingly unlikely, but it quite hard to disprove. Although I found the approach shown in this video independently, after the fact I found that Gary Antonick, who wrote the Numberplay blog referenced above, was the first to solve it this way. In some ways, I think this is the most natural approach one might take given the problem statement, as corroborated by the fact that many solutions people sent my way in this last week had this flavor. The Galperin solution you will see in the next video, though, involves a wonderfully creative perspective.

The most unexpected answer to a counting puzzle

Take a look and see if there's anything you'd like to learn.

That's because they're only counting the collisions between blocks (well, balls in their case), and they're only counting to the point where the big block starts moving the other way. ------------------ These animations are largely made using manim, a scrappy open source python library: https://github.com/3b1b/manim If you want to check it out, I feel compelled to warn you that it's not the most well-documented tool, and it has many other quirks you might expect in a library someone wrote with only their own use in mind.

Visualizing turbulence

Visualizing turbulence

Some mathematical order amidst the chaos of turbulence. Vortex rings with Physics Girl: https://youtu.be/N7d_RWyOv20 Brought to you by you: http://3b1b.co/turbulence-thanks Home page: https://www.3blue1brown.com Thanks to Dan Walsh for many great ideas, and thanks to Mike Hansen for many helpful conversations. Error correction: I meant to describe Kolmogorov as a “20th-century mathematician” not “19th-century”. Whoops! I think during the narration I must have made the classic 1900s vs. 19th-century mix up. Anyone aware of his work is more than aware of what century he lived in, which apparently applies to quite a few commenters. And while we're here, the animation at 9:55 misleadingly has the vortex kind of speed up during the transition, which it should not do. Really, the velocity scales of eddies decreases for lower length scales.

Solving 2D equations using color, a story of winding numbers and composition

An algorithm for numerically solving certain 2d equations. Brought to you by...you! https://patreon.com/3blue1brown Writing and animations by Sridhar Ramesh, with editing and narration by Grant Sanderson. Special thanks to these supporters: http://3b1b.co/winding-thanks Even though we described how winding numbers can be used to solve 2d equations at a high level, it's worth pointing out that there are a few details missing for if you wanted to actually implement this. For example, in order to determine how often to sample points, you'd want to have some bounds on the rate at which the direction of the output changes. We will perhaps discuss this more in a follow-on video!

How pi was almost 6.283185...

How pi was almost 6.283185...

Happy pi day! Did you know that in some of his notes, Euler used the symbol pi to represent 6.28..., before the more familiar 3.14... took off as a standard? Home page: https://www.3blue1brown.com Plushie creatures now available: http://3b1b.co/store The idea for this video, as well as the live shots, came from Ben Hambrecht, with the writing and animating done by Grant Sanderson.

What about all the lighthouses on the far end? Well, a more careful calculation will show that the contributions from those lights become more negligible. In fact, the contributions from almost all lights become negligible. For the ambitious among you, see this paper for full details.

The more general uncertainty principle, beyond quantum

MBnnXbOM5S4 | 24 Feb 2018

The more general uncertainty principle, beyond quantum

The Heisenberg uncertainty principle is just one specific example of a much more general, relatable, non-quantum phenomenon. Brought to you by you: http://3b1b.co/uncertainty-thanks And by Art of Problem Solving: http://aops.com/3b1b For more on quantum mechanical wave functions, I highly recommend this video by udiprod: https://youtu.be/p7bzE1E5PMY Minute physics on special relativity: https://youtu.be/1rLWVZVWfdY Main video on the Fourier transform https://youtu.be/spUNpyF58BY Louis de Broglie thesis: http://aflb.ensmp.fr/LDB-oeuvres/De_Broglie_Kracklauer.pdf More on Doppler radar: Radar basics: https://www.eetimes.com/document.asp?doc_id=1278808 There's a key way in which the description I gave of the trade-off in Doppler radar differs from reality. Since the speed of light is so drastically greater than the speed of things being detected, the Fourier representation for pulse echoes of different objects would almost certainly overlap unless it was played for a very long time. In effect, this is what happens, since one does not send out a single pulse, but a whole bunch of evenly spaced pulses as some pulse repetition frequency (or PRF). This means the Fourier representation of all those pulses together can actually be quite sharp. Assuming a large number of such pulses, it will look like several vertical lines spaced out by the PRF. As long as the pulses are far enough apart that the echoes of multiple objects on the field from different targets don't overlap, it's not a problem for position determinations that the full sequence of pulses occupies such a long duration. However, the trade-off now comes in choosing the right PRF. See the above article for more information.

Some light quantum mechanics (with minutephysics)

The math of superposition and quantum states. minutephysics channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/minutephysics Brought to you by you: http://3b1b.co/light-quantum-thanks And by Brilliant: https://brilliant.org/3b1b Huge thanks to my friend Evan Miyazono, both for encouraging me to do this project, and for helping me understand many things along the way. This is a simple primer for how the math of quantum mechanics, specifically in the context of polarized light, relates to the math of classical waves, specifically classical electromagnetic waves. I will say, if you *do* want to go off and learn the math of quantum mechanics, you just can never have too much linear algebra, so check out the series I did at http://3b1b.co/essence-of-linear-algebra Mistakes: As several astute commenters have pointed out, the force arrow is pointing the wrong way at 2:18. Thanks for the catch! *Note on conventions: Throughout this video, I use a single-headed right arrow to represent the horizontal direction. The standard in quantum mechanics is actually to use double-headed arrows for describing polarization states, while single-headed arrows are typically reserved for the context of spin. What's the difference? Well, using a double-headed arrow to represent the horizontal direction emphasizes that in a quantum mechanical context, there's no distinction between left and right. They each have the same measurable state: horizontal (e.g. they pass through horizontally oriented filters). Once you're in QM, these kets are typically vectors in a more abstract space where vectors are not necessarily spatial directions but instead represent any kind of state. Because of how I chose to motivate things with classical waves, where it makes sense for this arrow to represent a unit vector in the right direction, rather than the more abstract idea of a horizontal state vector, I chose to stick with the single-headed notation throughout, though this runs slightly against convention.

How secure is 256 bit security?

S9JGmA5_unY | 08 Jul 2017

How secure is 256 bit security?

Supplement to the cryptocurrency video: How hard is it to find a 256-bit hash just by guessing and checking? What kind of computer would that take? Cryptocurrency video: https://youtu.be/bBC-nXj3Ng4 Home page: https://www.3blue1brown.com/ Several people have commented about how 2^256 would be the maximum number of attempts, not the average. This depends on the thing being attempted. If it's guessing a private key, you are correct, but for something like guessing which input to a hash function gives the desired output (as in bitcoin mining, for example), which is the kind of thing I had in mind here, 2^256 would indeed be the average number of attempts needed, at least for a true cryptographic hash function. Think of rolling a die until you get a 6, how many rolls do you need to make, on average?

Fractals are typically not self-similar

Fractals are typically not self-similar

An explanation of fractal dimension. Home page: https://www.3blue1brown.com/ Brought to you by you: http://3b1b.co/fractals-thanks And by Affirm: https://www.affirm.com/ Music by Vince Rubinetti: https://soundcloud.com/vincerubinetti/riemann-zeta-function One technical note: It's possible to have fractals with an integer dimension. The example to have in mind is some *very* rough curve, which just so happens to achieve roughness level exactly 2. Slightly rough might be around 1.1-dimension; quite rough could be 1.5; but a very rough curve could get up to 2.0 (or more). A classic example of this is the boundary of the Mandelbrot set. The Sierpinski pyramid also has dimension 2 (try computing it!). The proper definition of a fractal, at least as Mandelbrot wrote it, is a shape whose "Hausdorff dimension" is greater than its "topological dimension". Hausdorff dimension is similar to the box-counting one I showed in this video, in some sense counting using balls instead of boxes, and it coincides with box-counting dimension in many cases. But it's more general, at the cost of being a bit harder to describe. Topological dimension is something that's always an integer, wherein (loosely speaking) curve-ish things are 1-dimensional, surface-ish things are two-dimensional, etc. For example, a Koch Curve has topological dimension 1, and Hausdorff dimension 1.262. A rough surface might have topological dimension 2, but fractal dimension 2.3. And if a curve with topological dimension 1 has a Hausdorff dimension that *happens* to be exactly 2, or 3, or 4, etc., it would be considered a fractal, even though it's fractal dimension is an integer. See Mandelbrot's book "The Fractal Geometry of Nature" for the full details and more examples. ------------------ 3blue1brown is a channel about animating math, in all senses of the word animate.

Triangle of Power

Triangle of Power

In math, exponents, logarithms, and roots all circle around the same idea, but the notation for each varies radically. The triangle of power is an alternate notation, which I find to be absolutely beautiful. (This is the corrected version of the one I put out a month or so ago, in which my animation for all the inverse operations was incorrect) Here's a sketch from the math redditer Cosmologicon showing how this might be usual with practical space considerations: http://i.imgur.com/hAeJokq.jpg This original comes from an answer to a math exchange post by Alex Jordan, which you can find here: http://math.stackexchange.com/questions/30046/alternative-notation-for-exponents-logs-and-roots I also briefly flashed a blog post with another interesting alternative for logarithm notation: http://www.solidangl.es/2015/04/a-radical-new-look-for-logarithms.html
