    Wow. Just wow. I got A for every single undergraduate maths course but still impressed so much by your visualization. I plan to study a master degree in mathematics next year, so I have a question that I hope you don’t mind to answer. My question is: “Is it possible to visualize maths at graduate level like what we can do with calculus, probability density function and linear algebra? “
    Thank you very much for your lectures. And by the way, if you want to commercialize your courses in higher maths, I would be a loyal customer. I would be happy to pay $500/course(I think it’s reasonable price, compare to online courses in Actuary).There are so few intuitive yet still rigorous maths course online. MOOC are just too easy, and recorded lectures from universities are just too dry and lack of visualization.

    Geometry we can visualize this whole derivation as just pulling the curve C into a straight line, computing it’s arc-length, finding what the “pulled-tight” version of the curve above C is, laying it out on the x axis and then just performing a regular integral on that curve on an interval equal to the arc-length of C
