What are some good lecture series on YouTube for math and related topics?

In summary, this conversation is about collecting YouTube lecture series on various mathematical topics such as Mathematical Logic, Category Theory, Abstract Algebra, General Topology, Algebraic Topology, Differential Geometry, and Algebraic Geometry. The conversation also includes a request for lecture series on Number Theory, Graph Theory, and Combinatorics. Additional resources on introductory mathematics, discrete mathematics, linear algebra, calculus, differential equations, and probability and statistics are also provided. The conversation then shifts to lectures on computational mathematics and numerical methods, followed by lectures on analysis. It concludes with a discussion on lectures in category theory for various purposes.

ModusPonens
Hello,

This is a thread to collect youtube lecture series. I would appreciate if you would add your playlists. I tried not to overlap with Khan Academy, but if you have good lecture series that overlap, please share them.Mathematical Logic lecture series:

Mod-01 Lec-01 Sets and Strings - YouTube
----> 42 Lectures culminating in the Gödel incompleteness theorems.


Category Theory lecture series:


Catster Videos -----> This is the order in which the Catsters' videos should be watched

TheCatsters - YouTube ----> this is the Catsters youtube channel


Abstract Algebra lecture series:


Mystery Division Problem - YouTube
-----> Group Theory, Ring Theory, Field Theory and Galois TheoryGeneral Topology lecture series:

Topology #1 Metrics - YouTube ---> This is a playlist that has 29 lectures and a few others which are not in the same lecture series.Algebraic Topology lecture series:

AlgTop0: Introduction to Algebraic Topology - YouTube ----> Includes algebra reviewing material


Differential Geometry lecture series:


DiffGeom1: Classical curves - YouTube -----> Seems to be at beginner's levelAlgebraic Geometry lecture series:

Affine I - YouTube ----> Seems to be in order, although there is no explicit numbering of the lectures
It should be obvious by now, because of the comments on the videos, that I haven't watched them all. So if you have better (or equal or worse) playlists that are a coherent set of lecture series, please share them. I will add, in a second post, less central topics, such as homology, cohomology and homological algebra.

I would especially appreciate if you could provide with lecture series on Number Theory, Graph Theory and Combinatorics. Other central areas _ which I can't remember now _ are appreciated.

Enjoy

Enjoy!

PS: This changes my initial goal of not overlaping with Khan Academy, but I think this is worth it.

These are several courses on computational mathematics and/or numerical methods in analysis. The disadvantage of these lectures is, of course, that each university around the world use its own programming languages. If you use the same programming language, it will probably be useful. Even if you don't, it might still be of use.Numerical Methods and Programing

Hello

These are lectures in category theory. The best material is by the Catsters, as was posted above. But I'll repeat, because it's worth it:Category Theory Lectures by TheCatsters

Catster Videos - This link gives the order in which the videos should be watched. However, it's not entirely linear, as presented in this list. Sometimes you have to go a few videos ahead to understand what you're watching. However, these do not provide an introduction. Category Theory Foundations

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BF6kHD1DAeU&list=PLGCr8P_YncjVjwAxrifKgcQYtbZ3zuPlb - This is introductory material by Steve Awodey. He has a well known category theory introduction book at undergraduate level.Introduction to Category Theory

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pH0haHFiWLU&list=PL7a2OL9aVVFfTFGr-cbPv8AKqQ2j6vjVR - Introductory material by Valeria de Paiva.
After the introductory material and the Catsters videos, these should be accessibleIntroduction to Monoidal Categories
