AI Thread Summary
The Math TV playlist is a curated collection of math-related videos available on YouTube, created in response to the lack of a dedicated math channel on Pluto TV. Users can access the playlist by visiting a specific YouTube link and can enhance their viewing experience by using the shuffle feature. The playlist is regularly updated with content from channels like Numberphile, Vi Hart, and Computerphile, and includes a secondary playlist for longer documentary-style videos. Suggestions for improvements, such as creating a live TV-like experience, are welcomed. The creator is also exploring the possibility of developing a math-themed audio podcast.

So I was on this site called pluto.tv (which is pretty cool but) I was disappointed that they had no "math channel." I even tried to get them to create one, and they looked into it, but no. So I made one. Sort of.

So here's what you do. Go here:
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLvzaBsnVmPpAG0KYOeoTCxawYiu4iFrry

Click "play all"
And hit the "shuffle" button at the top left of the playlist.

Of course you don't have to watch it on shuffle, but as these things start in the same place every time it's nice to just have it go randomly.

If anybody has any idea of a better way to do this, like to where you could just go to some URL and have it play as if it were "live TV" then let me know.

I try to update the playlist when new stuff pops up from:
Numperphile
Vi Hart
Computerphile (if it's on the mathy side).

and a few others.

I am open to suggestions!

Thanks!
I almost forgot: I also added "Math TV 2" where I moved the longer, documentary style videos. I can't speak to the copyright issues of some of the videos though. Of course they are coming from other youtube users and I have just linked to them. I have not watched most of them.

I have a ton of podcasts also, and am trying to see if I can create some audio equivalent. Math radio!
 
Thread 'Video on imaginary numbers and some queries'
Hi, I was watching the following video. I found some points confusing. Could you please help me to understand the gaps? Thanks, in advance! Question 1: Around 4:22, the video says the following. So for those mathematicians, negative numbers didn't exist. You could subtract, that is find the difference between two positive quantities, but you couldn't have a negative answer or negative coefficients. Mathematicians were so averse to negative numbers that there was no single quadratic...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
Thread 'Unit Circle Double Angle Derivations'
Here I made a terrible mistake of assuming this to be an equilateral triangle and set 2sinx=1 => x=pi/6. Although this did derive the double angle formulas it also led into a terrible mess trying to find all the combinations of sides. I must have been tired and just assumed 6x=180 and 2sinx=1. By that time, I was so mindset that I nearly scolded a person for even saying 90-x. I wonder if this is a case of biased observation that seeks to dis credit me like Jesus of Nazareth since in reality...
