A first video of 2024 talking about the channel and specifically M4W.

This video, from Kirby Urner's channel, gives a sense of the value added, in terms of topics tackled, in Silicon Forest maths.

The simple math expressions and Markov blankets are pretty

Grant is one of the foremost YouTube personalities in the math teaching space. In this interview, he talks about his process for making his animated math videos. Grant's channel is 3Blue1Brown.

The process of learning mathematics usually involves a lot of self study, however self study turns out to be a group activity once you factor in that self study involves merging one's mind with many others. Finding guides is another part of that.

This relatively recent discovery in Number Theory regarding primes and Pascal's Triangle does not provide a practical way to test for primehood, once the primes get big enough. Numberphile introduces a wide range of topics.

Daniel Shiffmann is another prolific and top-ranking YouTube teacher. His channel, The Coding Train, is cram-packed with interesting videos and playlists. In our curriculum, Git and Github skills are considered core.

$\phi$ plays a big role in the geometry we're doing, with the phi-scaled E modules and so on. When we scale all the edges of a tetrahedron (or any volume) by $\phi$, the volume expands by a scale factor of $\phi^{3}$.

"I like how the protagonist's growing exposure to maths endows her with increasing degrees of freedom in terms of powers. Familiarity with the generalized principles = better able to hold one's own."

An interesting way to cut across topics in ways that may inspire some programming experiments.
