    Regarding the brief reference to Fermat's Last Theorem, what should be emphasized is that it refers to positive integers. You can of course have things like 0^3 + 2^3 = 2^3, or (-3)^3 + 3^3 = 0^3.

      Hey 3Blue1Blue, thanks for another great video! For fun I've tried out to make Randolph smile (self.play(randy.change_mode, "happy")), but for some reason it wouldn't let me. Any idea why that would be? Moving works fine. Also, I'm gonna do videos on functional programming and logic foundations (no animations) and was wondering how I could do life LaTeXing, as I want to avoid handwriting. Do you have any idea how to approach this?

      Say a,b,c satisfy :

      Squaring both sides :
      (a^2 + b^2)^2 =c^2
      Or, a^4 + b^4 + 2*(a*b)^2 = c^4
      Whereas Fermat's triplet for n=4 satisfy:
      a^4 + b^4 = c^4

    You should make an ”Essence of topology” series. Topology is very visual but can be hard to describe with just numbers. I think ur animations would make a great fit for teaching topology
    You could cover topics like: Projective space, Equivalance relations or quotient space, affine geometry, hyperbolic geometry.
    And then u can end of the series by briefly giving an understanding to the poincaré conjecture.

    In Euclid’s Elements there is a description of all the possible Pythagorean Triples. Here’s a modern paraphrase of Euclid.
    Take any two Odd Numbers m and n, with m < n, and relatively prime (that is, no common factors). Let A = m x n; B = (n^2 - m^2)/2, and; C = (n^2 + m^2)/2. Then A:B:C is a Pythagorean Triple.
    For instance, if you take m = 1, and n = 3, then you get the smallest Pythagorean triple 3:4:5.

    For anyone who wants to graph the intersecting parabola, the general equation for each parabola is x=[+/-](y^2 / 4(n)^2 - n^2) where "[+/-]" is plus or minus and "n" represents the nth parabola away from the origin. In latex, it's written as:
    x=\pm\left(\frac{y^2}{4n^2}-n^2
    ight)
    for those who want it written neatly. The straight line equations are as simple as taking each coordinate that from the intersection (a,b) and making the equation y=b/a * x or y= \frac{b}{a}x in latex
    NOTICE: A parabola written in the form of ax^2+bx+c has a=1/(4f) where f is the focus. I noticed that the focus for those parabolas using the equation is n^2 so that the focus of all of these parabolas is it's number squared. then noticed that the focus changes when the "c" term changes in the equation, then the focus get translated by "c" and what turned out is that the "c" term in the above equation is also n^2! so n^2(the focus) - n^2(translation by "c" term) gives 0. so that all of those parabolas have their focus at the origin and each one is away from the origin by n^2 distance! Let's work together to figure out why this equation works with these givens

    You can also do the Pythagorean tripple Generator algebraicly:
    a²+b²=c²
    a²=c²-b²
    a×a=(c-b)×(c+b)
    a/(c-b)=(c+b)/a=u/v
    ¹ (c-b)/a=v/u
    ² (c+b)/a=u/v
    ¹+²=³... Just Kidding
    ¹+²:
    2c/a=(u²+v²)/uv
    c/a=(u²+v²)/2uv
    ²-¹:
    2b/a=(u²-v²)/uv
    b/a=(u²-v²)/2uv
    Now we can say that numerator= numerator and denominator=denominator
    So we get
    a=2uv
    b=u²-v²
    c=u²+v²
    The same result.

    I came up with an entirely different way to generate Pythagorean triples in middle school, though much less visual, using the property that x^2=∑(1≤i≤x)2i-1, i.e. that squares are the sums of odd numbers: Any expression of a number's square in terms of a sum of squares that does *not* start at 1 corresponds to a nontrivial Pythagorean triple, where the hypotenuse's square is the sum when the sequence of odd numbers is extended down to 1. You can generate such a series by choosing the number of odd numbers to add, which can be any factor of x² with the same parity (both even or both odd) (there's a valid interpretation for when n>x, though it's a bit weird), then choosing the *middle* of the sequence to be x²/n. Someone check my math.

    2. Just kidding, throw away the standard coordinate plain. Actually, take the complex plain. Here, our problem looks more complicated, and in some ways it is, but consider how one might solve for [z]
    3. Some mathematical steps later...
    4. As we can see, [z] perfectly solves for [x]

      @matthewto7406 5 років тому +15

      Jordan Ellenberg in his book How not to be wrong, the power of Mathematical Thinking:
      Outsiders sometimes have an impression that mathematics consists of applying more and more powerful tools to dig deeper and deeper into the unknown, like tunnelers blasting through the rock with ever more powerful explosives. And that's one way to do it. But Grothendieck, who remade much of pure mathematics in his own image in the 1960's and 70's, had a different view: "The unknown thing to be known appeared to me as some stretch of earth or hard marl, resisting penetration...the sea advances insensibly in silence, nothing seems to happen, nothing moves, the water is so far off you hardly hear it...yet it finally surrounds the resistant substance."
      The unknown is a stone in the sea, which obstructs our progress. We can try to pack dynamite in the crevices of rock, detonate it, and repeat until the rock breaks apart, as Buffon did with his complicated computations in calculus. Or you can take a more contemplative approach, allowing your level of understanding gradually and gently to rise, until after a time what appeared as an obstacle is overtopped by the calm water, and is gone. Mathematics as currently practiced is a delicate interplay between monastic contemplation and blowing stuff up with dynamite.

    Yeah, that’s because of Euler’s identity: 2+i is basically sqrt(5)*e^(~1.10715i), so you double the angle and square the sqrt

    • @nicholasleclerc1583
      @nicholasleclerc1583 4 роки тому

      @�̴̀͌̕
      The Euler Identity happens from realising that, if you interpret the concepts of an angle and of an exponent in a weird way :
      r*e^(i*x) = r*cos(x) + r*i*sin(x)
      Where x is an angle *MEASURED IN RADIANS, NOT DEGREES; VERY IMPORTANT*
      Essentially, you just plug in the value of the angle (IN DEGREES) for the x power of e, then you discard the "rad" unit
      And r is the *square root* of _the addition of the squares of the real number and the multiplier of i_
      So we now know that you can rewrite additions of real numbers with a multiple of the imaginary number _i_ with a single term, that is use without having to add 2 or more things together
      So, since 2 + 1*i is such an addition, we can convert this into a single number, "r*e^(i*x)", where, again, r is a square root involved with the real number (2) and the multiplier of i (1); but when we square this "r*e^(i*x)", then we square "r", therefore we square a square root, tus we get the number that's inside, which is, again, _the addition of the squares of the real number and the multiplier of i_ , which is "2^2 + 1^2", or "5"
