    Ok ... I'm an engineering professor and I have long since migrated to a glass board and markers. But I did use chalk for years and years. One thing I want to bring up: the erasability of a chalk mark is going to be a function of the chalk itself and the finish of the slate onto which you're writing. I have not studied the problem but I suspect erasability is an interface issue, which is chalk and slate dependent.

    • @DrTrefor
      @DrTrefor  3 роки тому +22

      I do much prefer glass to whiteboards, but I still think chalk is the best:D And I agree, it definitely depends on the quality of the slate as well.

    ok. I get it now. That's a beautiful piece of chalk right there. I was already impressed with how it writes. AND THEN YOU ERASED IT?

It's a shame they went out of business.

    Many schools are transitioning to white board and markers in their classrooms where I live so I bought a white board and some markers for me to check out and it was good. There was no dust and you could rub it with anything without any smears or residue on the cloth. A year back I was learning Physics and Maths (still am) and naturally the urge of "scribbling equations" came out in me and I used to solve a lot of problems on my white board but I used to see my professors and other UA-camr scientists "scribble equations" on a black board and I don't know why but I instantly thought that it was better. Now I have more fun learning and solving Physics and Maths on a blackboard with chalk. Earlier I used to think of my professors who loved blackboards as just a preference but the more I learn Maths the more I want to spend time scribbling on a blackboard, it just feels more handy, close and natural.

    Holyshit, our teachers had a black market lf these chalks. One teacher couldn't afford the full touch so used to use a non plastic coated one. Gave me one back in the day because I answered a question correctly. Then there was this teacher who used to hoard these and never let anyone touch it. He had the full touch but for odd reason used a chalk holder defeating the purpose of that
    I'm not someone who fantasises over chalk or math but his reaction to how the chalk feels on the board is 100% accurate or probably even downplayed. It was the most satisfying thing in the world even when I wrote with what was just a small bud

    I used to own a few whiteboards but soon discovered that I still prefer the blackboard - despite of the dust. As of today, I am the proud owner of a box of colorful Hagoromo chalk. From my first stroke on the board I could tell this is the good stuff and it is easy to understand why there is this myth about not being able to write a false theorem with this chalk.
    I am not sure if you now also have different colors but those colors are even more amazing. "regular" color chalk is even harder to wipe of than the regular white chalk but the Hagoromo wipes almost as easy as the white Hagoromo and the colors are much brighter than from other chalk brands.

      ​@@Purple-f6d I have no idea. Hagoromo write easier than the cheaper chalk I have but it is also softer so how long the chalk lasts depends a lot on how hard I press on it. With Hagoromo it is much easier to create thick/thin lines than with regular/cheap chalk.

    i really missed the blackboard and chalk in schools here, they first chaged them for simple whiteboards with markers that were always dry and worked poorly, then changed to these interactive boards (that were just giant touch monitors for writing) always attached to the most crappy pc they could find in the school basements because schools in italy have little to no budget and are falling apart (i went to a school that actually had multiple windows falling out or ceilings developing cracks in a year).

    Congratulations on 100k!
    Your enthusiasm was so infectious in this, it made me watch till the end and it was worth it, especially the unbreakable part 🔥
    Been brushing up on my Discrete math from your playlist lately and you did a great job covering all the important topics. I'm referring to Susanna Epp's book laterally for practice.

    I miss my Hagoromo chalk 😕 I still have a box, but I’m at a school with whiteboards now. Nothing say “physics” like chalk on a chalkboard, though 😎

    I already knew this was going to be the Japanese chalk before watching the video. I saw a video similar to this like 5 years ago 😂

    When he wrote that M I was like ... Wow! You can feel it through the YT, well done video. And yeah I think that the white board is blasphemy. Much better to use electronic equipment (like projecting e ink tablet) than the whiteboard.

    Where can I find a chalkboard like that? I heard those are ceramic non-porous chalkboard. The university’s chalkboard are the best.

    Literally if you put a mathematician and a man from 1,000,000 years ago to use that chalk, they would act equally surprised.

    I want to know if it performs as good as it did when it was still made in Japan . They sold to a Korean company a few years back and math teachers bought up all the stock of it.

    Not a math/academic person, haven't used it since when Westlife was still around.. it's either whiteboard or touchscreen tech whiteboard nowadays.. in layman terms it's like a mechanical keyboard.. once you use it (like u said buttery smooth)u can't go back to factory stock office rubber Dome keyboard ever.. it always strains my fingers when using it
