Hello! My name is Nic Swanson and I am a graduate student of mathematics in Virginia, USA. I primarily study algebraic topology, number theory, and cryptography. Math outreach is an important mission of mine. My goal is to get as many people excited about the elegance and visual beauty in math as possible.
I have started quality math visuals so I could have a public repository of some of my favorite animations I show students while I tutor. I try to make videos that are accessible to all. Enjoy!

How many lines go through 4 given lines in 3D?
Hello everybody! Sorry for the lack of upload. As it turns out, applying for PhD programs in Mathematics is more time consuming than it sounds! I hope you enjoy this video about intersecting lines in three dimensions. It may not be incredibly helpful when studying for a calculus exam, but it's a fun problem inspired by a recent course I took titled "Equivariant Cohomology." The tools I learned in the class explain the question in the title with just a few lines of math! I hope you enjoy :)

Can a linear transformation from 2D to 3D be onto?
This makes so much more sense. Basically redefine ijk-hat to be in the direction of your transformed matrix.
Amazing video, thank you! Does Span mean the same as Range?
Good video but the gen Z formatting 🤮🤮🤮🤮
Can we F'ing not generic AI voice with constantly shifting visuals?

beautiful
This made diagonalization more confusing. thanks chump!
absolutely stunning. deserves to have more views and you more subscribers <3333
Didn't understand a single word of this, but it was pretty!
I am surprised that this has only 15k views
Is it that: if the curve intersects a previous point it had already been at, then it is not one to one?
Sir can you send me example of diagonalisable 5×5 matrix example
Wow! Extremely helpful
Truely Underrated 🌟
Wth you are so underrated
I was thinking the other day what was used before analytical geometry. And then discovered synthetic geometry. I think there's a need for a balance between analytical and synthetic geometry. What do you think? Lovely animation, btw ❤
I see a lot of potential in blender as a game changer to do simulations using interconnected nodes 😊
Guys how i understand we dividing some linear transformation to different steps that easier to calculate, i mean our p matrix help us to change basis and D changes sizes and P inverse ends the work,now i have question: Is it correct to say that P realize some rotation that we need and D just change sizes????
Hi with regards to the PDP^-1. The P^-1 is convert to the new basis after which scale by D and then rotate back to the standard basis by P. Am i correct?
Yes!
I can watch these in a loop all dal long!
Thank you so much!!!
Superb video!
Thank you very much!
HOW does this not have more views?? Best visualization of this concept I have ever seen
Wow, this is incredible. I must say you have done a very good job with this video, and you explained the concepts of diagonalization very concisely. Thanks!
Glad you liked it!
wow!
Amazing video 🎉
u are more helpful than my teacher what
Man i bearly even comment on any youtube videos, but i feel i really need to express how i feel about your videos. At first 3Blue1Brown brought me close to mathematics, since then, im obsessed with it. There are many really good YT channels, that introduce interesting topics in this field, but man you're so good. Please keep up the work man, i know you're not as big right now, as you would appreciate it, but if you keep on going, with this style, i bet you will be as big as 3B1B or bigger. Thank you for your educational content!
Thank you so much for your encouragement! It means a lot and I truly wish I had more time to grow the channel.
Remember us when you're big😢😢
Good lord I hate that voice.
Very insightful! Question: when you read the equation at 4:27 you read it from left to right, but aren't the matrices composited from right to left?
As a consequence I read it as "align the eigenvectors with the standard basis" -> "scale standard basis" -> "move the eigenvectors back"
But I'm unsure whether my interpretation is correct
Excellent question! Yes, given two matrices A and B, their product can be interpreted as the composition of the linear transformation of A with the linear transformation of B. So AB is the transformation that applies B and then A. So yes, the order of highlighting used in the animation is not helpful for this understanding, good catch!
@@qualitymathvisuals Thanks for the prompt response! I'm currently a TA for an undergrad LinAlg course so this video serves me (and my students) well.
how are you sampling your random lines? You say its unlikely that there are zero solutions, but it’s not a 0% chance like there being one solution is.
Excellent question! Uniformly picking a random line in 3D I don’t think is as simple as picking two points and drawing the line between them. The argument that gives you 0 probability of a line not intersecting a hyperboloid involves showing that a line that does not intersect the hyperboloid has gradient orthogonal to to the vector that gives the “direction” of the hyperboloid. Thus, the set of all line gradients that give lines not intersection the hyperboloid is “measure 0” in 3D. This does not mean that there are no lines, but this means that when sampling random lines, there is 0 probability that they do not intersect the hyperboloid.
@@qualitymathvisuals its definitely not measure 0. if it were measure 0 then most pictures of a hyperboloid would just be a solid color with a few points or curves missing. However most pictures of hyperboloids have a nonzero negative space so this is obviously not the case
Sorry, I’m not sure I understand you. What does color have to do with Hyperboloid’s? We are taking about lines in 3D intersecting the hyperboloid
in fact in the case of a hyperbolic paraboloid, its pretty clear that the further the fourth line is from the other three the less likely it intersects the surface, in the limit tending to zero. So at least for that case some sampling methods would give a 100% chance of no solutions.
@@qualitymathvisuals when you make a picture of a hyperboloid, each pixel can be thought of as a yes/no of does the line from the camera through a point on a screen a fixed distance away intersect the hyperboloid.
good stuff
Thank you
Thanks! Great video
Great video , greetings from Spain !
Thank you very much!
Fun fact: to calculate the largest power of a matrix, where the exponent still fits in 64bit unsigned long, there are only 128 Multiplications needed. Example: You want to calculate 5^14. We split the exponent in binary: 5^(2¹+2²+2³) = 5² × (5²)² × ((5²)²)² = 6.103.515.625 . We only have to x := x², and if the current bit is on, we multiply our result with the current power, then we square x again... So to calculate powers up to about 4 Billion, u only need at most 64 multiplications. 32 for the squaring and at most 32 for the result multiplication. Since computers do not have more difficulties with larger numbers , that reduces the amount of calculations by an insane amount.
What a spectacular insight! The algorithm you are describing is called the “square and multiply algorithm” and is one of the main tools needed for computational cryptography. Hopefully I can talk about it soon in an upcoming video!
there's a great book called Linear and Geometric Algebra by Alan Macdonald. while a good portion of it is about building the foundation of geometric algebra (a very clean way of unifying many parts of linear algebra by defining a new operation on vectors), the best part about the book is that it teaches linear algebra and linear transformations without much matrix usage; there's like one or two chapters covering matrices, as they are important, but most discussion of linear transformations is matrix-free. i really like it because i think matrices are so heavily tied with linear transformations that the two tools can get conflated with one another
What a great observation! Macdonald is one of the great when it comes to abstract algebra. I believe linear transformations are an incredible artifact of the human brain, coming from the more general idea of morphisms, matrices are just a way of describing their details in a well understood situation. Thank you for the thoughtful comment!
Great video and visuals. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
It s dfficult for me to understand HOW to prove the intercesections of lines in the simplest of cases. Could you give a reference where such a proof can be found?
That is perfectly understandable! Most of the statements said in the video are non-trivial and I give very little intuitition for the proof. A proof for the main theorem in the video can be found in H. S. M. Coxeter (1969) Introduction to Geometry, page 259.
Nice
Great intuition bro… great teaching too
Much appreciated. Thank you!
This shows your very deeply intuition
Very good… can u do some physical basics as well… like Bell local realism Inequalities and double slit exp… i know it’s physics but the way you intuit may help
Maybe! I am a math student, but they are highly related.
Great video sir. Thank you so much Sir❤
Thank you for the kind words :)
until the end when i checked the sub and view count, i thought that this was some big math youtuber that i haven't heard of yet. great work man really well made
Thank you very much for the kind words!
Is this video inspired by the advent of code exercise? 😅
Actually no! It was quite a pain to code up.
The video is amazing. Only thing I would complain about is that you didn't write the conclusion theorem in words at the end since I got lost in the pictures
Thank you for the feedback! You are right, the ending is pretty rushed.
Why so low views? Low subs? Beyond me!!.. May be changing channel name might help?
Haha maybe so! I like titles that are right to the points, so probably not :) New video tomorrow!
Alright, keep straight!! New video tomarrow!! I am dancing in circle of eight like a honey bee!!
Any new video soon?
Yes! A longer length video coming soon that deals with lines and Hyperboloids!
@@qualitymathvisuals really!! Longer video !! woow that's coolest news !! Worth the waiting!!
It's beautiful but I think the title should be changed or maybe the content. The title is a bit misleading as it doesn't actually show a function that takes a sphere as an input
