- Pi is taking an hour from us! Let's get mad, then maybe drift off to soothing music to give ourselves that hour back.
Thank you to this tweet by @darrenglass and via @tweetsauce which not only reminded me that Pi Day was coming up and I should probably make a video, but from which I 100% stole the title and intro: / 1367978449864974337
This video is sponsored by Patreon Patrons like you! Special thanks to Ray Sidney, Pat Devlin, David Perryman, Andew Romaner, Andrea Bi Biagio, Jodi Vezzetti, Yana Chernobilsky, and David Smith, plus an extra thanks from my piano to Caleb Wright.
More thanks are here: vihart.com/thanks/
Happy Pi Day, everyone. I know it's been not just a long while but also a weird while, and I'm glad to see you're still here with me.
Good to see you all here, yeah it really has been a while, hasn't it? We still got this though.
(Also note that making fun of my piano for being tuned to Pandemic Temperament is not allowed. Piano tuners didn't make it to the top of the vaccine priority list which is FINE)
So how did you end up on the reopening commission? I remember finding it fantastically bizarre when my own mother shared a Vihart video with me.
I really liked this year's pi video and how you took a more musical take on it. I enjoy how you can always find a way to connect the worlds of math and music, two things so seemingly far apart that are in reality only a few strides away from each other.
HOW DID YOU AFFORD A BOSENDORFER
Yo
Don’t worry, your piano is in much better tune than mine! In winter, the humidity in my house can get below 10% and it is not kind to the piano so I have barely played in a couple months haha
You can't just say "the trick is not to glamorise the pain, but to feel it" and move on like nothing happened
There's so much to unpackage in just a few words. Vi if you ever feel you want to take a deeper dive on feeling pain without glamorising it I don't doubt your thoughts will be insightful, treasured and helpful.
This was one of the first UA-cam channels I found in middle school near 10 years ago now. Cool math stuff and internet nerd culture were key to who I thought I was. Years later and I’m a musician, living in that world, exploring solo vibraphone performance particularly right now. I’m trying to reconcile my current life and passions with those of my past, feeling they are very far from each other, the people they lead me to very different. It’s been a tension in me and I guess just this video was really nice as a combination of elements of my past and my present.
Same here haha, I was barely in college 10 years ago when I found vihart and today I’m an experienced professional as a programmer. Also vihartvihart microwave countdowns was the only ASMR I’ve ever been into 🤣 I never unsubscribed!
As a nerd/percussionist/aspiring programmer, I resonate with this thread
@@orik737 Just started the aspiring programmer part myself a few months ago, seems like its an element of my past that could work well lifestyle-wise with all the musician-ing. Happy to see this resonated with folks.
literally same
I've been playing piano for 9 years, found vihart about 6 years ago, struggling with who I am and what I want to be. I've wanted to code for my entire life but I'm unable to attend school because of mental heath issues. I picked up music composition about 8 months ago and I've been trying to compose songs since. just finished a new song hours before this video came out. I'm hoping I can get back into the swing of things and pull my life up off the floor and get on with things like everyone else.
Scrolling through the comments, I see a community of inspired students from years ago who have blossomed or will blossom into adults whose interests and even careers have been impacted by your videos
I am not a mathematician by trade, but as a composer and soon-to-be lawyer, I see more than ever the importance of being able to translate the chaos of the Earth and of the universe into beauty. Especially when it's harder to see the beauty of τ/2 hidden in nature from our houses, being able to collectively appreciate it in music is a rare thing of beauty, of calmness in a raging storm. Thank you
I wasn’t worried about her being gone because I knew Pi Day was coming
Same
This is true
Fact
Same. I wanted her to make a video and she did!
Sometimes most years I forget to celebrate pi day. I don't think I'll ever forget again. I expect I will check back around this time every year
During my first three years of college, even though I wasn't intending to become a mathematician, I've just sort of... accidentally taken enough math courses to get a math degree? I didn't realize it until now because it never felt like work - it was something I'd grown to enjoy, mostly because of my amazing middle/high school math teacher and because of Vi. Anyway, long story short, I'm now majoring in electroacoustic music and math, and I'm hoping someday I'll be able to inspire people and help awaken their creativity and inquisitiveness in the same way Vi did for me. Thanks for a great pi day!
Edit: listening to the soothing sounds of Pi, I was just reminded of one of my fondest memories from childhood. I'd spent a couple days watching and rewatching all your hexaflexagon videos, and decided to become a flexagation scientist. After hours of toil, I finally managed to invent the MIGHTY Dodecaflexagon. It was smaller than a dime because I had to fold the paper so many times, but I had invented a brand new flexagon and I felt like the Archimedes of twelve-year-old homeschooled math nerds.
Sometime in the last few years I picked up the habit of increasing the playback speed of videos I watched on UA-cam in an effort to wrest back some of my lost time, but for some reason I never feel the need to while watching yours, and today I will accept the 34 minutes you have given me and give you 34 minutes back. Thank you.
This was the first youtube channel I subscribed to back in 2013. I still remember in 6th grade, learning about repeating decimals when I derailed the class to talk about how .999999 = 1. I still sing the singing-pi-gram every day (and literally all the songs on your channel). Thank you for teaching me that math and music and science are so deeply intertwined. I've stayed in music and stem classes because of you, and now I'm majoring in aerospace engineering! Your videos shaped who I am. From a fellow mathemusician, thank you for everything that you do.
I was just thinking about how I did the exact same thing in my middle school math class! I actually got into an argument with the teacher about .999... = 1. In retrospect, I was kind of being a pretentious know-it-all, but I still love that I was that engaged with math even then, and that's all because of Vi.
I aspire to the level of intellectual freedom and creativity you've shown over the years since I discovered this channel. I began a master of music this year, choosing it over math or philosophy, and I sometimes feel afraid that I've chosen a path that restricts creativity. Listening to this video, thinking back to your past videos, I have a reassurance that everything will be alright, wherever I go.
Thank you for everything.
People seem to be talking a lot about how they first found Vihart ages ago. I was just thinking: Idon’t think I ever FOUND Vihart when I was a kid. In fact I’m sure my mother must have shone her stuff to me. My mother who is dead now and has been for years, so I don’t think there’s anyone I could ask if I wanted to confirm it. And as I’ve gone though high school I realized that the jokes that she made about how much parabolas suck were starting to make sense. Because when I first heard that joke I don’t think I even knew what negative numbers were yet. It’s been nice to see this thing from my childhood continue to take on new meaning. Thanks, Vihart
i love your πiano
*πano
All of you need to be sTAUped
this might be the most beautiful thing i've seen in 2021, all 34 minutes of it...
thank you vihart, and everyone in the comments for sharing a little sliver of your lives and refueling my faith in humanity
I was SHOCKED when I discovered she's not just a pair of disembodied hands, there's a real person behind! But all jokes aside, it's a pleasure and an honor to have you back, you've been missed.
Thank you for sharing your brilliant mind with us yet again, Vi!
WHITNEY AVALON?!?!? We love queens supporting queens!!
Not the person I was expecting to see in the comment section but not disappointed.
Two worlds colliding omg
I was definitely not expecting nto see Whitney Avalon here
Oh hi Whitney avalon
There is something so deeply moving/comforting about this. I have taught 2/3rd grade for years and I'm always sharing your work with the kids. You have made a difference. Thank you!
I can't remember the exact one, but in one of your videos you made a quick comment about how being overtly anxious and preoccupied with your appearance and behavior in public settings could actually be social anxiety, which is a real thing and it's treatable. And in turn, you, knowingly or not, put a name to something that had been torturing my everyday existence. Something that i didn't know other people experienced and that i didn't know was a thing and that it could be countered successfully with professional help. I immediately began doing my own research, relieved to have finally found hope. Hope that this thing that cursed me for years and years could be defeated. It began a journey for me of learning about myself, mental health, and eventually seeking help, through therapy and medication, uncovering also the depression that it had evolved into after years of being untreated, and even a completely ignored ADD. And over time, i became better. It was tough, but each day I found I could be my better self, when i took care of my mental and physical health, and surrounded myself with a solid support system. The guy who used to contemplate driving off the side of the road is now the guy who would never dare to, because he knows he has so much to live for. And i can't help but think that perhaps if I hadn't sought help and trained myself in self care, if I hadn't sought treatment for my depression and anxiety, I might not have been able to survive this unprecedented assault on our entire generation's mental and physical health that we call a pandemic. I'm so happy to say that I'm still here.
I know it's probably not accurate to say that you alone saved my life, Vi. But every so often, i still remember the exact moment i heard you mention social anxiety, and I'm so grateful for it. Because that moment started my journey in self-improvement and self care, and being nice to myself. Your thoughtfulness and creativity have been a catalyst in my life to become a better person. I absentmindedly play all your doodle games all over my notebooks. And I'll often even put your videos to go sleep, so much so that i have some bits memorized lol.
I guess I just want to say thank you. Thank you for being exactly who you are supposed to be. Hope you had a lovely pi day. I don't know that you will ever comprehend how impactful your content truly is, how much it has enriched the life of millions, and what an incredible force for positive change that it is for this planet.
I am so, so happy to hear this! I have many warm fuzzies from your comment, and I also want to acknowledge that the real work here seems to be your own curiosity about anxiety and mental health which led you to seek more information and support. I hope anyone else reading this will also consider opening up their own curiosity! But to you, Alvaro, thank you for your kindness. Let's both keep going on the road.
@@Vihart oh now I'm so happy you read and replied to my comment!! It just was a pivotal moment. I remember pausing the video and sitting up and playing back the same bit over again. It was just what I needed to hear. But yeah. I so appreciate your encouragement and kind words and totally agree! We keep in moving!
I usually don’t comment but this for some reason just made me cry a little. And obviously you don’t know me but I’m proud of you for coming that far.
a happy very special Pi day to you.
@@Lukas-qq7fc I'll second that. Proper lump in my throat. Vi and Alvaro, thank you for making me think. It's been a while since i've done that. I do all I can to distract myself and not deal with my core issues. You can only do that so long before you get tired though. I've recently started dealing with my mental health in a very bad way. That stops now. Thank you all and have a happy pi day
@@Lukas-qq7fc agreed, I was on the verge of tears while reading this
i just wanted to share how even if i am not part of those who started with you, i was able to get into it right as i needed it, thank you for all the help :)
When I realized this was 34 minutes long I was like "oh I'm not gonna watch this all right now" but then I accidentally did anyways cause the music was pretty
34:16 long, to be exact, or rather, approximately 34:159
it was some how so beautiful. pi music made me cry
@@pvic6959 objective theory driven take ahead, no bully - that music had less to do with pi than you (or the reader) might think.
it had several 3, 4 or 5 note motifs whose shapes were indeed borrowed from pi's decimal expansion, but were then fitted into the c major scale. had she picked a different number base (not lower than 6 as to not reduce the number of notes) it would have sounded very similar. had she picked a totally different irrational number, like some square root, or e, or phi or so on, again in any base, it would have sounded very similar as well. it's just the sound of any major scale (didn't even have to be c). moreover most of the character of the song is given by the bass, which is improvised and as far as i can tell has literally nothing to do with pi.
if on the other hand you had kept decimal pi and fitted it into a say phrygian scale you'd get a different song. blues scale - different song. pick the chromatic or whole tone scale - totally different song, and not nearly as pleasant. change the type of bass melody as well and you can craft any kind of sound you like, using pi just as a source of notes.
having a lot of repetition and some bass certainly helps the song feel deliberate, because it is, but there are other "transcriptions" of pi online who just state the digits one by one using the same major scale conversion and they still sound "nice". again, that's just the sound of the major scale with random notes in it, there's almost nothing linking it to what pi actually means. which is absolutely fine as long as people understand it.
to conclude, there certainly is art to this piece in my opinion as well, in its cvasi-mathematical construction, in its meaning and presentation, and in its partially improvised performance. and it does sound nice, although it's not quite my type. but it's vi doing the heavylifting, not pi.
same, I thought I was about 5 minutes in and then it just ended.
I discovered your channel at the beginning of high school and now I'm in my first year of college. It's thanks to creators like you that I'm now a math & physics major. You were especially inspiring to me because I'm a woman and it hard to find that type of representation in STEM. Thank you for inspiring me and showing me the beauty in mathematics
finding your channel around 9 years ago helped me realize that the worlds of science and art were not disparate, that they could be intertwined, and that niche curiosity and creativity were not shameful things. Your videos have been deeply inspiring to me, and I now find myself in college studying the interdisciplinary field of human ecology. Listening to this now at the end of pi day - the imperfect repetition of patterns is very poignant, reflective, lulling. It feels like I can look at the same things again for the first time
not to mention that you helped convince Rothfuss to publish slow regard, which is perhaps my favorite book,
thanks, Vi, for everything
As I hear the sound of what I assume is pi being played on piano, I realise I could never play this and still vibe to it. Hope everyone has a good pi day :D (tau is still better though). This UA-cam channel brought me so many laughs at times and just pure happiness. Wherever you are Vihart, I hope everything is well and hope that covid hasn't gotten to your head too much...
Legend has it I'm still flexing my hexaflexagon to this day
amazing as usual

Good to see you posting again!
I still rewatch the 12-tone row video every once in a while.. whenever I need a good cry the final Twinkle Twinkle Little Star just moves me every time
^^
Thank you Vihart for inspiring me once again. I never knew how much you affected me until I saw the shift in me finding the beauty of music and art in things seemingly unrelated. Now, I am studying to become an aerospace engineer and I am actually building spacecraft. Just 10 years ago, I remember watching your videos and that’s where my dreams were created. I saw someone who didn’t just talk about women being interested in STEM but someone who showed why it was interesting. I just got hired recently for my first internship, and I also became the student director of my satellite laboratory. I always wanted to be a vocalist, and you helped me realize that music connects to much more than my career. I hope you are doing well, and thank you.
As a middle schooler aspiring to be a mathemusician, it’s so great to see the creator of the term itself coming back. We missed you ViHart!
Well I'm a high schooler, but ^^^ you're so awesome and such an inspiration
as a kid i used to feel like ur videos were the only thing that really made sense to me, and i felt so understood, and it inspired me to realise my logical pattern seeking brain could make something beautiful. today i feel the exact same way. thank you for your videos. i don't want to come across as trauma dumping but since that time i have been through so much and truly began to figure out who i was and that i actually take up space and have an identity, that my brain wasn't broken but just worked differently to others, and now i have come to realise that your videos were one of the first things that made me genuinely feel like myself. feel excited to learn about new concepts and see patterns and be creative and analytical at the same time. watching this video made me realise again that this way of seeing the world and creating is one that i will always come back to. its a reminder i needed right now where nothing feels promised and i feel like I'm finding myself and losing myself at the same time. thank you & god bless pi day
It’s crazy how different things are now than the last time I saw one of ur videos. And like, I started watching ur videos in middle school. My 7th grade best friend came to school with a hexaflexagon and I thought it was the coolest thing ever. We watched so many of ur videos and now we’re both in college. I haven’t talked to him in a while, Colton I hope ur doin alright bro. But this video brought me back. And the music brings back all kinds of emotions. What more can I ask for in a video. This was beautiful, thank you.
my maths teacher (who quickly and for the longest time was my favourite teacher) directed an inquisitive bored 13 year old to your channel and i was obsessed.
8 years later im doing my masters in maths and still turn to your videos every now and again when i loose the joy maths brings to pull me out of the seemingly endless pit of deadlines.
this is just a shout out to both vi and matt taylor for keeping me interested - lots of love and thanks for the 30 mins, honoured to give you mine tonight.
Vi hart and their music degree being useful
they're back!
“I won’t pretend it’s easy to find and draw out the beauty in every day repetitions, but it’s there if you look for it…….ANYWAY” you don’t have to take our love and support Vi, but it’s here for you if you want it. Happy Pi Day 💖
I first came to this channel after Vsauce mentioned it so long ago. Today, I’m a senior in my last semester for a BS in mathematics. Happy tau/2 day and thank you for inspiring me so long ago with doodles.
Wait- VSauce mentioned this channel? Wow!
@@KubickQ Vsauce leanback 1 :)
which video
Converting the digits of pi to music is exactly how I still remember 100 digits, so many years afterwards. It's so nice to see a familiar tune be spun into such an awesome composition. Love it!
btw for me the digit "0" is the key below "1" (so a B in the C major scale). Your version is so much nicer but mine is already to ingrained for me to change it.
That's amazing, what a wonderful experience that must be
I just thought of Vihart out of the blue a few days ago, then realized she would post on pi day. I was not dissapointed.
Welcome to the party
Future generations of pianists will learn to play "Hart's Pi Variations" and think they were inspired by pie variants such as apple pie, steak pie and apricot pie, rather than being inspired by the number pi.
Or Hart's Vi Pariations
Another Pi day revelation. This time more musically focused than years past. Thank you for the beautiful piece from your beautiful mind yet again.
Best wishes for more to see the light in Tau as clearly as you do.
Happy Pi Day ViHart! Thank you for this video. Since some commenters are opening up a bit here, I guess I will too. I discovered your videos in high school, and would watch alongside all the other educational UA-camrs at the time (Vsauce, Numberphile, etc.) I was never that inspired or interested in math, but your videos definitely peaked my interest and allowed me to appreciate mathematics more than I had before. The real bulk of me getting into your videos though was my freshmen year of college. Im a writer, and the subjects you'd talk about and how you speak in your videos (your cadence / rhythm/ pacing, etc) inspired some poetry around that time, but especially inspired the voice of a character in a short story I was working on then, that desperately needed a strong voice to drive the narrative. The short story is shelved for now and ive moved on to other projects, but your videos were a big inspiration for that character, to the point where whenever I get the work finished / published, I want to dedicate it to you. So, thank you for not only being an inspiration to all the future mathematicians and musicians out there, but one to a silly writer like me, too :)
For me, math was always difficult in school. I had trouble focusing on the numbers, and I always struggled to finish homework assignments. I was berated and yelled at by some awful math teachers. I hated the subject. But then I found your videos. You taught me that math can beautiful and interesting and part of everything. I could doodle through math class, and discover these concepts in my own sketches and learn about this amazing subject through a positive and creative lens. Without your prospective on mathematics I don't think I would have been able to graduate last year with a degree in computer science, completing more math classes than high school me ever knew existed! Thank you.
man it's been a while. Nice to see you back.
This is the only time I will ever do this, but: Congratulations on not only being FIRST, but on having a good first comment. I don't know if you win a prize, but maybe you win a prize? Glad to see you and all the other firsts back here too :)
@@Vihart when your shoes are toasters
Vi,
Like a lot of the folks here, I discovered your videos when I was in middle school, trying to reconcile art, music, and math. I'm now in college, pursuing a computer science degree while making music and being constantly amazed by the mathematical world.
Your videos show such a creative and playful way of looking at things that has always inspired me to make art and explore math. Your thoughts on gender were also part of what made me realize I was nonbinary.
I'm so grateful that you still drop by every year to muse on pi, and that you played such a pivotal role in so many of our lives, by embracing the weird and the playful and the mathy, and by explaining things so engagingly.
Hello, everyone. It's nice to see you all again.
I was going about my day and realised it's Pi Day, and the first thing I thought of doing was googling Vihart. So glad you're still making these. It feels like a hug from an old friend c:
I miss you now and then, and it's always a joy when you stop by.
She is the only one I know from past ten years , seeing her video from computer to phone the era passed but I know she is there alive for all us enthusiasts and literally I wait for this video every year

Dear Vi,
I've been a fan of yours since i was in the 7th grade and now I'm graduating highschool soon. You've been a role model for me then and you're a role model for me now. Thankyou.
and when we needed her, she came back
It’s so unexpectedly pleasant to hear Vihart’s voice again
Good to see you guys for our annual reunion, I hope you've all been doing not too bad :D
Vihart, you are such a great person. Your youtube channel is an inspiration to me as a mathematician, and as a musician, and as somebody wanting to stay above the fray of social media and pettiness. You take on youtube on your own schedule and choosing 2 minute or 30 minute videos, seemingly making whatever you want. I admire your cutting intellect, humor, good spirits, and general awesomeness. This video is so beautiful philosophically and musically. I respect the heck out of you and hope you're doing ok.
I've missed you Vi. Thank you for the perfect study music! Wishing you all a lovely τ/2 day and, for northern hemispherers (hemispherists? persones hemispheritis?), a lighter afternoon.
the mathimusic is so beautiful
Thank you so, so much for this Vi....
I spent many, many hours watching and rewatching your videos through high school, and now I'm here, graduating this May with a degree in psychological statistics, having gone from someone who hated math to someone who revels in the glory of its intricacies. I spend my days now seeing just how lovely it is when math shows up, whether that be among people or the world or nature or anything else.
Having this video pop up on my recommended after years of not getting recommended any of your stuff... it was such a breath of fresh air in the current world, and this video was all I could've thought it was and more.
Once again, thank you so much for all you do, I appreciate you and your work so dearly.
I’m happy to spend half an hour listening to piano notes. Others might not understand why. But we do. We know the importance of this music.
It's nice to read all these comments from kids (and ex-kids) who appreciate all your videos. I assure you, this 70 year old geezer loves them too.
Thank you, Vi Hart. Thank you, Martin Gardner.
Pi is good, I especially like cherry Pi.
Have a great Day/Night/Life everyone
You, too. Happy Pi Day
I could see this as an album, with each set of decimals written along the pianos functioning as each of the songs:

Happy π day!
I'm so glad I did a Pi Day piano improvisation this year! I wasn't sure if Vi would be doing something (much less a piano improvisation too!), but feel honored to be in musical company with Vihart and simply taking a moment this year to celebrate, look back, and simply be. I've been watching Vihart for years and their particular brand of mathy-musicy-magic has helped me through many a dark time. Keep on keeping Vi!
For those of you who just want to hear the music over and over and over and over (like me) it starts at 4:43
Thank you past me.
Can we just please appreciate the half hour of piano-ing she's given to us though?
Just like some others have stated, about 10 years ago I found your videos in middle and high school. They helped show me that math is much broader than what is shown to teenagers in a classroom. Overall your videos helped spark and sustain my curiousity.
Now I find myself in the first year of my PhD in math, and it's crazy to think that is, in part, due to the things you made! Without them, maybe my interests wander in a much different direction. In any case, this is some awesome music and thank you for all the great videos!
My middle school math teacher introduced me to this channel. I hope somewhere he's still watching and enjoying these videos. Thank you, Mr Wilson.
I missed Vihart so much! Especially after going into a more advanced class where her videos are actually helpful and not just entertainment.
You have a beautiful mind Vi, don't ever let it stagnate. The world needs more people like you.
Who knew that a song made up of numbers could bring me close to tears. Helped me slow down and take in the beautiful intricacies of life when the world forever seems to be rushing past me, always way too fast. Thank you for that.
u do not understand how much joy this brought me i miss ur vids so much😭
I've always enjoyed your explanations, but I friggin adore this song. It's so beautiful.
Wow. I had completed forgotten about this channel's existence. But the annual uploads are so invigorating. Wow.
I’m pretty sure I found you my first year of high school on Tumblr (2012 😂). It was about the Fibonacci sequence, something I still talk and research about today because it’s fun and cool. I still get excited when people ask about how plants leaves are how they are because I can ramble about math for a bit. I always find my way back to your videos whenever I need familiarity and comfort. Thank you for sharing and being an amazing person.
Finally the algorithm brought you back to me! This is beautiful, I think I'll play this to sleep, it's so simple and dramatic and calm. Lovely
It’s crazy to me personally how long ago the last pi day really has been, recently my life seems to be accelerating and changing to the point where I’m practically a separate person to who I was a year or two ago. I find it hard to remember things outside of what’s ahead of me, so connecting back to this vital part of my childhood that pushes back to the present every year is definitely nice but having it re-emerging this year feels much more significant than years before.
I feel like most people can agree that their life has changed drastically over the years of watching Vi, so many things learned with amazing combinations of creativity and mathematical patterns, so many lessons learned, many friends made from some hexagon with three sides (I personally couldn’t make the ones with more sides). I feel like we should all take this as a sign to connect back to our roots and just remember who we are and why we’re here before we move any further ahead.
Thank you, Vi.
this has changed my life for the better Vi
What a beautiful gift. Thanks Vi! Happy pi day to you too!
I thought about you out of the blue the other day. My friend mentioned that you hadn't posted in ages, but I didn't even bother telling him you'd post on Pi day, like you always do. Thanks so much for posting, this made my day so much better. And don't worry, I gave you 34 minutes and 15 seconds of my day
it’s beautifully hypnotic or hypnotically beautiful I can’t decide which
Teared up watching this. Thank you for you and this channel, Vi. Been watching your videos since high school and through engineering school. I’m a doctor now, and have had many dark moments since I last came across your channel as an undergrad to finally stumbling upon a video again. I can’t thank you enough for how much this fills my cup back up. Can’t believe how much I’ve missed the beauty in numbers and math, and how it seemed to magnify the beauty of nature itself. You’ve certainly helped me see it years ago and you’re again helping me revisit it now. Hope you’re taking care! ♥️
I'm just over halfway through this and I already want a way to give it a half-twist and connect it back to itself.
Hey vihart, thanks for making me realize that math is beautiful. I was never very good at arithmetic and as a child i thought i didnt like math. But then in high school i found your videos and realized theres a lot of beautiful, fascinating things in the world of math.
So yeah. Thanks for making me realize that i can appreciate math even though im bad with numbers
Happy pi day to you and yours!
Imagine someone making that piano piece into Lo-Fi with some slight rain behind it
I wasnt thinking about vi when this video uploaded. She has had a impact on everyone here, including myself. While I havent been a watcher for a long time, I did find you in the lowest point in my life. Thank you for being there in your own way, knowingly or not you helped me, and if I could help you I would. I would love to go on and on about what happened, but I repressed those memories so much that I physically cannot remember them.
All I do remember is watching your videos and being happy. Seeing your hexiflexigon video and wanting to make my own. Failing, somehow, but never giving up. I didn't however, and thankfully I never gave up on that hexiflexigon, nor did I give up on this thing we call life. This pandemic really has shaken everyone up, but that didn't stop you from coming back and showing the world what true beauty looks like.
Thank you, for being that little UA-cam channel that showed me the amazing things math and art have in common. And also, 3.141592653589... that all I can get from my head but it's my lucky 13 and that's all I need
Much love, and I hope to see you sooner than next pi day. But unknowingly I think this isn't the only video for 2021
Thank you, Vi. Somehow, this was exactly what I needed today.
RETURN OF THE QUEEN
Haven't seen much from you and then this comes up. Beautiful
I just finished watching your fibannaci sequence video with the cat snails
9 years later and you're still uploading videos that's amazing it's like watching a kid grow up :,)
I've never watched your channel before, but this video for some reason brought back so many memories and emotions that I thought were impossible to feel again. the calming background music, how you mix math with art, it's so beautiful and I thank you for bringing these vivid emotions and thoughts. hope you can upload more frequently, you gained a new subscriber.
Thank you for keeping up on Pi Days! I have adored your videos and content for years and years. You inspire me more than any celebrity I can possible attempt to name.
one channel that no matter how old it gets or how long the time between upload is ill never unsubscribe from thanks for all the good times!
I almost forgot about you and pi day, but I'm so happy to remember, 2020 and 2021 have been tough, and not just for me, in fact probably least of all me, however being able to remember something as fun as pi day, and one of the reasons I love learning has certainly brightened up my day, thank you as always for your wonderful content, best of luck with whatever you're up to.
Thank you! You have no idea how soothing it was. You used to twist our mind with maths, now you loose it and make it wandering. I needed it. Thanks. I hope you are well and wishing you the best.
Just when I thought pi day was gonna be just another day I'm reminded that mathematical magic exists in the universe, or at least in our minds. Thanks darling
I can't tell you how many times I've listened to this in the last 24 hours. it's a beautiful piece of music and it's stuck in my head. Thank you, Vi. I hope you create some more music soon
this is one of the most amazing things i’ve ever heard. this is just what i needed today, thank you so much
This reminds me of the anime, Forest of Piano, an anime who introduce Chopin music and combines the music with the nature in a harmonic way.
This music does take me out in a beautiful landscape with bulging hills with deep green grass and with some sprinkles of flowerbeds scattered like stars. Near a pound the bugs are humming and from the tall grass I hear the chipping of birds to the sound of the wind. The trees are gathered on a hill reaching for the light, between the trees I see gray cliffs that reminds me of the stone type found in the Rocky Mountains, so I’m standing in a pass at the foot of giants, that can be seen in the distance.
Yes I suddenly remembered your channel and here you are back with another pi day, thank you and happy pi day! This was so nice
This is kinda nostalgic actually, I almost never play the piano, but when I was starting to play music I used to sit to play the piano and do exactly this, I did some odd pattern with 3 or 4 notes and went for hours playing it and changing everything around it and feeling each different shade of rhythm it could have. Amazing how much you can do with simple couple of notes melody and it's been a while I havent explored music that way losing myself for a long time improvising
Every since I was in elementary school I thought about this channel on March 13. I'm nearly out of high school now and these videos are still my favorite thing to talk about with friends. I missed you ! Happy Pi day Vi :)
Vihart, you will always be one of my favorite people. I really needed this today. Thank you so much, and I hope you are doing everything that makes you happy. :)
Damn, she's back! Hell yeah!
Thank you for always being there when I was growing up. Pi day yay
Dude I’m not joking I totally remembered pi day was the other day. And I remembered this channel. I was low key obsessed and watched everything and this channel was probably the reason I started to start learning interesting math stuff. Don’t mind me rambling I just like that you still posted something
My family always celebrates pi day by making a dinner made entirely of pies. The meal itself is usually made up of savory pies, like spinach-ricotta pie, although occasionally we stretch it a bit (sometimes we have pi-neapple, or something like that, on the side). Then, obviously, we have multiple different sweet pies for dessert, usually there are at least three varieties. And we carve the letter pi into all the pies we make. It actually acts as a sort of extended birthday celebration, because one of my family member's birthdays is march 13, so we celebrate the birthday and then have pie the next day. It's always a lot of fun.
Like many of these comments are saying, I also found your videos in middle school. At the time, I was already mathematically and musically inclined, but you helped me see how much fun math can be. How much we’re missing by doing only what they teach us in school.
You taught me how to be outspoken about why I love math. How to show other people that math is beautiful. How to help people see the math they need to do as less complicated than they originally thought.
Your 12 tones video is basically my religion. Vi, you have been such a positive influence on so many people in this world. I’m now a grad student studying Biostatistics, and I’m not sure what I’ll do after grad school, but I feel so lucky to have found your videos so early in my life. I credit you as my mathematical inspiration.
I’m studying mechanical engineering and when I start to doubt my abilities to get through this degree, I watch your videos and am reminded that math can be beautiful. Thank you Vi.
