Can you do a video explaning what you undertand from this? I cant with the words here. It's so hard. How the horizontal axis it's a representing time but the numbers are angles hahaha wtf
Yeah like the other guys said a lot of this stuff is “common knowledge” after getting a STEM degree for the more math heavy areas. I’ve never seen all of it down to the basics so eloquently summarized tho, this is amazing. The research likely took the least amount of time. It’s trying to figure out how to connect it all that’s the impressive (and likely most challenging aside from the animation) part
Wanted to chip in with some stuff I noticed. - This is mentioned in another video, but TSC and little monster are both real numbers. That’s why they can interact with the world, why TSC can multiply his speed and change location, same with LM. But more importantly, they’re both real numbers *on the x axis.* They’re not just stick figures, they’re technically the coordinates with the locations (TSC, 0) and (LM, 0), because those are the only types of coordinates that are real in a complex plane. That’s also why when they want to go upwards, they add multiples of i to themselves, but don’t go into a different plane until they multiply themselves by i. Since as real numbers they can add i values and remain in the complex plane, IE change their coordinates to (TSC, 5i) and (LM, i). - When they’re moving, their coordinates (TSC, 0) and (LM,0) are changing, with LM and TSC increasing at a certain rate, the speed they travel (since this is physically what speed is, the rate at which a coordinate changes). So when TSC wants to increase his speed he multiplies himself, making the rate at which he changes faster (or making the initial value being multiplied higher, tho I suspect it’s the former because of the negative trick I, about to get into). - Speaking of, the negative number trick is actually consistent despite being used in two ways. In the chase scene, since LM’s coordinate is changing at a specific rate (its speed)TSC uses a negative to change LM’s velocity. Changing a velocity of a given point to a negative turns the point in the opposite direction (something that shows up again later). However, at another point in the vid, TSC uses a negative to get to the other side of a circle. Inconsistent, right? Wrong. The reason the second negative teleports TSC is because he’s both not moving, and on a *coordinate plane.* His defining characteristic on a static coordinate plane is his position, *not* his velocity. So rather than making his velocity negative, he made his *position* negative. So rather than reverse speed, he teleports to the other side of the circle, since that’s what making a position negative does. To simplify, first time he turned the equation LMm = x into LM(-m) = x, but the second he turned the position (TSC, 0) into (-TSC, 0). - And for my main point: The “blackworld” they were in was *consistently* a complex dimension (minus maybe the parametric bits), that’s why every time he wanted to move upwards, both LM and TSC had to use a multiple of i. Since that changed their positions from, say (TSC, 0) to something like (TSC, 5i), which was represented physically by height in blackworld. But the blackworld is only imaginary on *one* axis, the y axis. But the “other” dimension had *two* imaginary axes, with the x also being imaginary. Now, TSC and LM, as established earlier, are real numbers, but getting into the “other” dimension requires changing the x axis of a point to *also* be a multiple of i, which is why little monster and TSC had to *multiply* themselves by i to get there, otherwise they’re still just real numbers. - The other dimension had square roots of negative numbers throughout it because it’s the *imaginary plane.* Thus numbers that are only represented by i in the blackworld are represented as their “actual” values in the other dimension, IE as square roots of negative numbers. Also the *reason* square roots were spilling out of the cracks because TSC’s cannon was “cracking” the x axis of the imaginary plane…which was as mentioned earlier made up of imaginary numbers (ie square roots of negative numbers). - Also, TSC wanted to get into the imaginary plane because it was another dimension, and he wanted to return to his home dimension. LM had to clarify that multiplying himself by i multiple times would just send TSC back to blackworld, since TSC = real number, i x TSC = imaginary, and i x i x TSC = -TSC = a real number. Hence why he needed a more complicated equation to actually access other dimensions. - Note also, when LM is demonstrating why just multiplying by i won’t access higher dimensions, he, changes positions. Specifically, he’s flipping around the Y axis. Why? Because i x i x LM = -1 x LM. Since LM’s actual value, e^(i(pi)) = -1, is -1, and he’s flipping his value from (LM, 0) to (-LM, 0), he’s going from position (-1, 0) to (1, 0). He’s doing what TSC did earlier with the negative, only in this case he takes a detour to the other dimension first before teleporting to his new position.
@@1Life4Passion I'm a math minor actually! But for all of these things I pointed out, that was more just paying very close attention to the video. Additionally, a lot of the conclusions I bring up is logical progressions of some of the other things I and everyone else have brought up. IE if they're already on a complex plane, why are they transported to another plane when they touch an i? Well, it's because *they* weren't complex numbers until they touched an i. Not exactly simple conclusions, (and maybe not interesting enough to get pinned), but they definitely didn't require my math minor to do!
incredible work on this comment, but i don't get the part where tsc is a real number. is it an infinity number, or is it an imaginary number, or something?
I’m honestly glad this got recommended. I already admired Alan’s style of animation and to understand the meaning behind every sequence as well is probably the best thing I could’ve asked for in recent times. Thank you!
12:48 i think that's the branch cuts actually. Sqrt(-5) for example has multiple solutions, and just as those are called branch cuts, there is a rift in the world, cracking it apart.
This is a good point. I thought about this possibility. When I paused at 12:55, I felt like Alan Becker is going for the aesthetic side of this visualization. Can't imagine branch cuts that looks like that, hence my "guess". Thanks for the point!
I thought it was more like the ‘complex world’ was breaking due to TSC’s laser. When the other ones fired, even for a split second, it left a scar on the ground. Maybe the extended blast was enough to affect the ‘complex world’.
I cant stop rewatching this video cause i wouldnt stop until i found an explanation for everything and you have done that. Btw the dimension part near the end is a reference to the imaginary dimension i think Edit: TSC is a real number because the imaginary dimension collapses if you add a real number to any imaginary equation and the imaginary dimension is a dimension of equations made of imaginary numbers Edit 2: TSC is confused when dividing by zero as somehow 6/0 doesnt equal to 6/0 with the other division sign
7:35 Would like to note that splitting pi in half also made the halves resemble "t" with sine and cosine on top, equating to sine/cosine over time, and thus creating a graph.
As a math and physics student, I was so impressed and excited. I've always loved interpreting math concepts in a creative way, the idea of merging math and "art" is smart, it helps to better visualize concepts (and understand their usefulness) Shout out to the 2x2 bow, the design is so cool !
This genuinely deserves alot of attention, You focused on every single bit of detail here and gave a very well splendid explanation, Sure im dumb af, But watching this was very entertaining and made me learn a few things. My hats off to you brother.
this video made me realize anything can be beautiful as long as you understand whats behind it, how it works down to the core, the meaning of it. what you do with it next stems from passion. thank you a lot for this, i saw the original once but didnt give it a second thought. beautiful.
Thank you Alan and team and thank you too Ron. The "r and theta" helping out, I did not notice, and the replacement of the factorial with the gamma function went beyond my old brain's capacity to comprehend.
I'm surprised this only has 1.2k views right now, beautiful art, this is something I always wanted, a sort of show which displays math so I could avoid learning it and kinda take it all in as a form of a show
@@midnightrain3000 yea my bad i forgot to delete this comment after I went to the original in the desc, beautifully made and ig this guy showed the history behind it and stuff, nevertheless good
This is bonkers brilliant. I have always believed mathematics should be taught in a more playful and engaging manner. We all know the intricacies behind mathematics and not everyone can handle the deep abyss of the field. But what I am saying is that I want more people to think mathematics as something else other than stressed moments in their life filled with souless homework and tests. Alan Becker did an amazing job, and you Python with Prosper did an astounding job on taking the time to go through all the details in the video along with bits of history that just makes the video more flavourful. Thank you for putting in the effort for this video. I wish you success. Also Imagine if Brian Cox for narration, that would be insane.
3:12 Since the / sign is more commonly used in programming I'mthink that bit's a reference to how division by zero won't compile into usable code and for TSC doesn't have an output, not that there is no answer ;) Amazing video, love watching this type of breakdown!
This is one of the greatest videos ever produced by humanity. PhD level knowledge of mathematics storyboarding,the music the animation the concept and execution is mind blowing
@@brrrrrrNot really an expert, but if I remember my math classes from when I was in school (the Bronze Age), Euler's Number is just e. e^iπ is Euler's Identity.
This came out just in time I have been helping some relatives with summer tutoring in math and the kid is brilliant but unmotivated, I showed him this video and his response was absolutely golden: "WHY DID NOBODY TELL ME THAT MATH COULD BE THAT COOL!!"
I'm not an entirely big math nerd, but as I'm glad someone was able to explain some of the bits I wasn't able to get (which I was strangely able to grasp a lot of the concepts). :)
Honestly, dude, you did a very good job explaining this. Props to Alan Becker and his team for making this masterpiece. I'm currently looking forward to becoming a programmer. Best of luck on everyone's dream. o7
@@ron与数学 What a coincidence! I sure am looking forward to learn from you. Oops, edit here: I'm doing JavaScript lol, but it's fine. I'll probably learn a little or 2 from you still. I might even change to Python.
9:52 There's actually a third, on the left you an see a Little Monster facing the other way holding a negative sign. If you look back you can also see it moving away from TSC
I can't believe that these characters, who don't speak, have better character development and a more satisfying arc in 10 minutes than some some characters from big budget studios are able to have in entire seasons (looking at you "Rings of Power"). What's brilliant about this video is how it's sort of a pseudo history of math, but done in the most creative way possible. Alan Becker is an actual mad man for making millions of people in love with characters who are literal numbers and letters, it's like Alphabet lore all over again.
When I reached the animation character adding ones and you mentioned induction I knew that this video is going to be the most accurate analysis I will watch. I thought it was an obvious reference but others missed it.
This is actually one of the best UA-cam videos ever made, every time somebody makes a video on it I'm learning (and forgetting I cannot memorize this all) so much and the way its portrayed not only in literal equations but in the small plotline the characters have is genuinely insane. The video takes advanced mathematics and combines it with writing as well.
As someone who really struggled with math this video is just as great as the original with explanation of how things work in a basic sense. Also infinity is scary AF, constantly reappearing
i dont usually write comments but now i must, this was amazing. You just look like big mathematicion and Alan Becker fan so you did really well. You commented it clearly with fun and you have written down some theories in it for future episodes. How we know there are a lot of these videos but this was jost the best of all of them. How i said, it was amazing and i am happy that i saw that. Sorry if i have some mistakes in writing that i am not the best:).
Thanks! I may not be the best editor or math-person, but one thing I can assure you is that I care about my viewers' experience and I want people to enjoy high-quality stuff with low barrier of entry.
You are the one who caught the minute details(like using x to gain speed, the bow made of 2x2 shooting 4), that every other channels missed. Thank you for that.
I have learned more about the foundational uses of mathematics here than I EVER DID in school. I have been studying this second by second since I first saw it, and my understanding of math has only gotten stronger from this. Thanks for making this video. I already loved mathematics as a whole, but this just gave me an even greater appreciation of it.
One thing I think goes severely unappreciated is the abdolute GENIUS of the sound design. I don't know how he did it, but that's exactly how I always envisioned math to sound, as advanced, almost futuristic little machines doing things and giving results.
Wow! This was amazing! I got a lot of it while watching but this showed so many things i still missed! This is probably the best break down video I've seen and it is SO GOOD and the references are ON POINT! Great Work!
honestly i was never really interested in math due to how boring the classes were and i just didnt find the fun in learning math and then this shit drops and im like "WHAT"
Honestly if an assignment was "discover as many mathematical laws in this video and then reapply said laws to create new problems and solutions" I would bet you that a ton of people would suddenly find a renewed interest in math. But lol as if any school in the world that isn't homeschool or an extracurricular project is gonna do that.
I believe the imaginary world cracking is simply due to the energy being released by the huge circle. At 13:04 you can clearly see that the black/cracked region follows the energy ray with pretty much the same angle/inclination, as if it were an extension of it. At 13:18 you can see the cracks on the floor caused by the energy, and at 14:02 they "heal" when e^(iπ) stops the circle and brings it back.
I think it also could possibly represent TSC not belonging in the imaginary world as he is "made" of non-imaginary numbers (animation is technically math as he is constituted of points on a plane, we could even stretch this to vectors, frames per second (why he sped up when he "multiplied" his legs), and other stuff as well). He basically broke the imaginary universe by being in it
There's an easter egg mentioned by another from Bilibili at 2:11, we know the formula's answer is -1, which means TSC is "-1" as well when he stands behind the equal mark.
This is the best interpretation of the "Animation vs Math" video! Learned few information regarding Math's history. Very nice indeed. Thank you. Btw, I love the original video background music. It's a thrilling one but encouraging.
My maths nerd friend recommended I watch this - my maths knowledge is pretty basic, just good enough to graduate high school xD But thanks to your video, I think I actually understood what's going on in the video and learned some maths along the way. Thank you
I'm a fifth grader, when I grow up, I'm going to study math at college, and then I'll watch this video again, and I think I'll understand almost everything.
One more thing I would like to point out is at 12:51, the cracks actually look like roots which is kinda funny because the square roots of negative. numbers are shown.
5:14 I didn't even notice this, Great observation! Also, I was going to mention how gallium-gonzollium already made a video like this to. And how your video was way more explanatory, and with all the dates to!
It is a notation commonly used in analysis ( like real analysis as R stands for "real" number ). Basically it is a 4-D space, spanned by 4 vectors: x1, x2, x3, x4. However, I didn't find any strong connection why shooting a unit circle will cause this effect. Alan mixed math and pure visual effects quite a lot. This one, I think, is a cute reference to the "breaking the 4th wall".
Do you want to mention that (sometime during or after 6:42) that the letter r here is the variable for the radius of a circle? r = 5 when The Second Coming first looks at the variable's value, but then he adds 2 to increase the radius to 7, and then subtracts 5 by 2 (by flipping the expression) to make it equal to 3.
P.S. θ (theta) is also a variable; it is used for the position of a point on a circle relative to the point with the coordinates (r , 0) where r is usually 1 for simplicity. For example: in a circle where r = 1, θ = pi is at the coordinates (-1 , 0), and θ = pi/2 is at (0 , 1), which is also where θ = 5*pi/2 is.
Wow, really great video; both the original and your explanations. I did the German finals this year and had to do math orally. What confused me was that the questions weren't this typical "here is a formula and here some numbers now deal with it" but rather seeing if you can grasp the complexity of the topic and the logical connections. An guess what- that was so much easier for me! So yeah, math can be fun and interesting 😄
Definitely don't; back when i went to middle school(mid 2000s/early 2010s italy) square roots and exponential was the main mathematical thing, going far past that in middle school means you're already better at math than half the Italians your age* *Dunno if this applies to other countries tho, of course besides the fact that standards may have changed since then.
this is a true masterpiece with a quick explanation! thank you for this explanation with the best alan becker video! you don't only deserve a like, but also deserve to have a sub! i hope u can reach 1k! :D

"Banish little monster to negative infinity" at 9:13 Is just so stupidly funny without the proper context
"Is it possible to learn that much information in only 15 minutes?"

@@ChickenMcKicken how did you manage to learn complex numbers before trig??
BRO I AM A 7TH GRADE AND SAME HAPPENED TO ME@@ChickenMcKicken
Wanted to chip in with some stuff I noticed.
- This is mentioned in another video, but TSC and little monster are both real numbers. That’s why they can interact with the world, why TSC can multiply his speed and change location, same with LM. But more importantly, they’re both real numbers *on the x axis.* They’re not just stick figures, they’re technically the coordinates with the locations (TSC, 0) and (LM, 0), because those are the only types of coordinates that are real in a complex plane. That’s also why when they want to go upwards, they add multiples of i to themselves, but don’t go into a different plane until they multiply themselves by i. Since as real numbers they can add i values and remain in the complex plane, IE change their coordinates to (TSC, 5i) and (LM, i).
- When they’re moving, their coordinates (TSC, 0) and (LM,0) are changing, with LM and TSC increasing at a certain rate, the speed they travel (since this is physically what speed is, the rate at which a coordinate changes). So when TSC wants to increase his speed he multiplies himself, making the rate at which he changes faster (or making the initial value being multiplied higher, tho I suspect it’s the former because of the negative trick I, about to get into).
- Speaking of, the negative number trick is actually consistent despite being used in two ways. In the chase scene, since LM’s coordinate is changing at a specific rate (its speed)TSC uses a negative to change LM’s velocity. Changing a velocity of a given point to a negative turns the point in the opposite direction (something that shows up again later). However, at another point in the vid, TSC uses a negative to get to the other side of a circle. Inconsistent, right? Wrong. The reason the second negative teleports TSC is because he’s both not moving, and on a *coordinate plane.* His defining characteristic on a static coordinate plane is his position, *not* his velocity. So rather than making his velocity negative, he made his *position* negative. So rather than reverse speed, he teleports to the other side of the circle, since that’s what making a position negative does. To simplify, first time he turned the equation LMm = x into LM(-m) = x, but the second he turned the position (TSC, 0) into (-TSC, 0).
- And for my main point: The “blackworld” they were in was *consistently* a complex dimension (minus maybe the parametric bits), that’s why every time he wanted to move upwards, both LM and TSC had to use a multiple of i. Since that changed their positions from, say (TSC, 0) to something like (TSC, 5i), which was represented physically by height in blackworld. But the blackworld is only imaginary on *one* axis, the y axis. But the “other” dimension had *two* imaginary axes, with the x also being imaginary. Now, TSC and LM, as established earlier, are real numbers, but getting into the “other” dimension requires changing the x axis of a point to *also* be a multiple of i, which is why little monster and TSC had to *multiply* themselves by i to get there, otherwise they’re still just real numbers.
- The other dimension had square roots of negative numbers throughout it because it’s the *imaginary plane.* Thus numbers that are only represented by i in the blackworld are represented as their “actual” values in the other dimension, IE as square roots of negative numbers. Also the *reason* square roots were spilling out of the cracks because TSC’s cannon was “cracking” the x axis of the imaginary plane…which was as mentioned earlier made up of imaginary numbers (ie square roots of negative numbers).
- Also, TSC wanted to get into the imaginary plane because it was another dimension, and he wanted to return to his home dimension. LM had to clarify that multiplying himself by i multiple times would just send TSC back to blackworld, since TSC = real number, i x TSC = imaginary, and i x i x TSC = -TSC = a real number. Hence why he needed a more complicated equation to actually access other dimensions.
- Note also, when LM is demonstrating why just multiplying by i won’t access higher dimensions, he, changes positions. Specifically, he’s flipping around the Y axis. Why? Because i x i x LM = -1 x LM. Since LM’s actual value, e^(i(pi)) = -1, is -1, and he’s flipping his value from (LM, 0) to (-LM, 0), he’s going from position (-1, 0) to (1, 0). He’s doing what TSC did earlier with the negative, only in this case he takes a detour to the other dimension first before teleporting to his new position.
How'd you know are you a math major?
@@1Life4Passion I'm a math minor actually! But for all of these things I pointed out, that was more just paying very close attention to the video.
Additionally, a lot of the conclusions I bring up is logical progressions of some of the other things I and everyone else have brought up. IE if they're already on a complex plane, why are they transported to another plane when they touch an i? Well, it's because *they* weren't complex numbers until they touched an i.
Not exactly simple conclusions, (and maybe not interesting enough to get pinned), but they definitely didn't require my math minor to do!
@korben600 Underrated comment.
Thats like the best and funniest way of explaining imaginary numbers !!!! Hats off
incredible work on this comment, but i don't get the part where tsc is a real number. is it an infinity number, or is it an imaginary number, or something?
I’m honestly glad this got recommended. I already admired Alan’s style of animation and to understand the meaning behind every sequence as well is probably the best thing I could’ve asked for in recent times. Thank you!
The fact that you can find every possible mathematical reference in the animation is amazing
Thank you!
12:48 i think that's the branch cuts actually. Sqrt(-5) for example has multiple solutions, and just as those are called branch cuts, there is a rift in the world, cracking it apart.
This is a good point. I thought about this possibility. When I paused at 12:55, I felt like Alan Becker is going for the aesthetic side of this visualization. Can't imagine branch cuts that looks like that, hence my "guess". Thanks for the point!
I thought it was more like the ‘complex world’ was breaking due to TSC’s laser. When the other ones fired, even for a split second, it left a scar on the ground. Maybe the extended blast was enough to affect the ‘complex world’.
@@SeriouslySamuelyearsago that's a possibility as well
Yes that was my first thought as well, definitely branch cuts.
i think its by the fact that they are in the imaginary numbers world and TSC is real so where he goes it breaks, and when he comes back it fixes
I love how expressive Alan animates. For a stick man with no face and a letter, it's pretty easy to tell how they're feeling
I cant stop rewatching this video cause i wouldnt stop until i found an explanation for everything and you have done that. Btw the dimension part near the end is a reference to the imaginary dimension i think
Edit: TSC is a real number because the imaginary dimension collapses if you add a real number to any imaginary equation and the imaginary dimension is a dimension of equations made of imaginary numbers
Edit 2: TSC is confused when dividing by zero as somehow 6/0 doesnt equal to 6/0 with the other division sign
yep at 12:53 i can see many negative square roots
What is TSC?
TSC is the second coming, aka the orange guy
@@critixil I still don't understand! Jesus? Trump? The little stick man in this video? I feel dumb I'm so sorry.
@JayronWhitehaus the little man in the video he's part of a series animation vs animator and there was like 2 other stick figures before him
7:35 Would like to note that splitting pi in half also made the halves resemble "t" with sine and cosine on top, equating to sine/cosine over time, and thus creating a graph.
this one is amazing, explains things quickly and is still entertaining

As a math and physics student, I was so impressed and excited. I've always loved interpreting math concepts in a creative way, the idea of merging math and "art" is smart, it helps to better visualize concepts (and understand their usefulness)

My hats off to you brother.
this video made me realize anything can be beautiful as long as you understand whats behind it, how it works down to the core, the meaning of it. what you do with it next stems from passion.
thank you a lot for this, i saw the original once but didnt give it a second thought.
beautiful.
Thank you Alan and team and thank you too Ron. The "r and theta" helping out, I did not notice, and the replacement of the factorial with the gamma function went beyond my old brain's capacity to comprehend.

This is bonkers brilliant.
I have always believed mathematics should be taught in a more playful and engaging manner. We all know the intricacies behind mathematics and not everyone can handle the deep abyss of the field. But what I am saying is that I want more people to think mathematics as something else other than stressed moments in their life filled with souless homework and tests. Alan Becker did an amazing job, and you Python with Prosper did an astounding job on taking the time to go through all the details in the video along with bits of history that just makes the video more flavourful.
Thank you for putting in the effort for this video. I wish you success.
Also Imagine if Brian Cox for narration, that would be insane.
3:12
Since the / sign is more commonly used in programming I'mthink that bit's a reference to how division by zero won't compile into usable code and for TSC doesn't have an output, not that there is no answer ;)
Amazing video, love watching this type of breakdown!
I dunno some of them throw an integer limit, others "infinity" and others just hang the program
@@niko5008 No, most of the languages have /0 as NaN
/0 itself is undefined
Only lim x->0+ (1/x) is positive infinity
Exactly, not many non math people know that the value of the limit and /0 are different.

This came out just in time I have been helping some relatives with summer tutoring in math and the kid is brilliant but unmotivated, I showed him this video and his response was absolutely golden:
"WHY DID NOBODY TELL ME THAT MATH COULD BE THAT COOL!!"
I'm not an entirely big math nerd, but as I'm glad someone was able to explain some of the bits I wasn't able to get (which I was strangely able to grasp a lot of the concepts). :)
Honestly, dude, you did a very good job explaining this. Props to Alan Becker and his team for making this masterpiece.
I'm currently looking forward to becoming a programmer. Best of luck on everyone's dream. o7
Thanks! My channel is actually a programming channel. This video is a side project. Hope I can create something useful for you in the future.
@@ron与数学 What a coincidence! I sure am looking forward to learn from you.
Oops, edit here: I'm doing JavaScript lol, but it's fine. I'll probably learn a little or 2 from you still. I might even change to Python.
this kind of analysis is great because i learn a lot more about the history of math and some concepts like the complex plane
I love how Alan was able to make an entertaining video while also teaching us math! He’s a legend!
9:52 There's actually a third, on the left you an see a Little Monster facing the other way holding a negative sign. If you look back you can also see it moving away from TSC
I can't believe that these characters, who don't speak, have better character development and a more satisfying arc in 10 minutes than some some characters from big budget studios are able to have in entire seasons (looking at you "Rings of Power"). What's brilliant about this video is how it's sort of a pseudo history of math, but done in the most creative way possible.
Alan Becker is an actual mad man for making millions of people in love with characters who are literal numbers and letters, it's like Alphabet lore all over again.
but without the cringe kids
you cannot compare this to fucking alphabet lore bud 💀
@@lawbreakerlawrence letters are canon to the math verse
This deserves a million views, dude! This is amazing! Alan Becker should see this!
When I reached the animation character adding ones and you mentioned induction I knew that this video is going to be the most accurate analysis I will watch.
I thought it was an obvious reference but others missed it.
Great catch. It depends on people's knowledge background :)
This is actually one of the best UA-cam videos ever made, every time somebody makes a video on it I'm learning (and forgetting I cannot memorize this all) so much and the way its portrayed not only in literal equations but in the small plotline the characters have is genuinely insane. The video takes advanced mathematics and combines it with writing as well.
As someone who really struggled with math this video is just as great as the original with explanation of how things work in a basic sense. Also infinity is scary AF, constantly reappearing
i dont usually write comments but now i must, this was amazing. You just look like big mathematicion and Alan Becker fan so you did really well. You commented it clearly with fun and you have written down some theories in it for future episodes. How we know there are a lot of these videos but this was jost the best of all of them. How i said, it was amazing and i am happy that i saw that. Sorry if i have some mistakes in writing that i am not the best:).

The summation absorbing the power of the limit to become a deadly integral was legendary
One thing I think goes severely unappreciated is the abdolute GENIUS of the sound design. I don't know how he did it, but that's exactly how I always envisioned math to sound, as advanced, almost futuristic little machines doing things and giving results.

Wow! This was amazing! I got a lot of it while watching but this showed so many things i still missed! This is probably the best break down video I've seen and it is SO GOOD and the references are ON POINT! Great Work!
honestly i was never really interested in math due to how boring the classes were and i just didnt find the fun in learning math
and then this shit drops and im like
"WHAT"
we wish math classes have these :(
Honestly if an assignment was "discover as many mathematical laws in this video and then reapply said laws to create new problems and solutions"
I would bet you that a ton of people would suddenly find a renewed interest in math.
But lol as if any school in the world that isn't homeschool or an extracurricular project is gonna do that.
"math is a gift from above?"
nah, math is a curse from hell
Bro if even such a masterpiece can't change your mindset then idk what will
I believe the imaginary world cracking is simply due to the energy being released by the huge circle. At 13:04 you can clearly see that the black/cracked region follows the energy ray with pretty much the same angle/inclination, as if it were an extension of it. At 13:18 you can see the cracks on the floor caused by the energy, and at 14:02 they "heal" when e^(iπ) stops the circle and brings it back.
I think it also could possibly represent TSC not belonging in the imaginary world as he is "made" of non-imaginary numbers (animation is technically math as he is constituted of points on a plane, we could even stretch this to vectors, frames per second (why he sped up when he "multiplied" his legs), and other stuff as well). He basically broke the imaginary universe by being in it

thank you for deciphering this masterpiece! I feel like I learned more than I ever had.
There's an easter egg mentioned by another from Bilibili at 2:11, we know the formula's answer is -1, which means TSC is "-1" as well when he stands behind the equal mark.
That would be really interesting! A little bit stretchy but could be true.
This is the best interpretation of the "Animation vs Math" video! Learned few information regarding Math's history. Very nice indeed. Thank you.

This one is one of the best explanations of Alan's that video. Marvelous!
10:48 what does the "span({x1...})" and the R^4 mean here? like, what does shooting beams with the function do to the span and R things?
It is a notation commonly used in analysis ( like real analysis as R stands for "real" number ). Basically it is a 4-D space, spanned by 4 vectors: x1, x2, x3, x4. However, I didn't find any strong connection why shooting a unit circle will cause this effect. Alan mixed math and pure visual effects quite a lot. This one, I think, is a cute reference to the "breaking the 4th wall".

So amazing, love that math bow of 2x2, shooting number 4 arrows!!!!
Do you want to mention that (sometime during or after 6:42) that the letter r here is the variable for the radius of a circle? r = 5 when The Second Coming first looks at the variable's value, but then he adds 2 to increase the radius to 7, and then subtracts 5 by 2 (by flipping the expression) to make it equal to 3.
P.S. θ (theta) is also a variable; it is used for the position of a point on a circle relative to the point with the coordinates (r , 0) where r is usually 1 for simplicity. For example: in a circle where r = 1, θ = pi is at the coordinates (-1 , 0), and θ = pi/2 is at (0 , 1), which is also where θ = 5*pi/2 is.
Wow, really great video; both the original and your explanations.
I did the German finals this year and had to do math orally. What confused me was that the questions weren't this typical "here is a formula and here some numbers now deal with it" but rather seeing if you can grasp the complexity of the topic and the logical connections. An guess what- that was so much easier for me!
So yeah, math can be fun and interesting 😄
