Go in UK in some university I won't name and try to understand a mumbling Scottish guy writing undecipherable signs on the chalkboard about Navier Stokes equations. That's true pain, specially when you know that the exam is within 2 months.

My brain just exploded. AMAZING VIDEO. WE NEED MORE OF THIS GUY TOO

This guy is by far my favorite Numberphile guest solely based on voice.

The "Farey addition" (mediant) is very interesting. I once did a work about the Stern-Brocot tree (sometimes called Farey tree) and its applications to number theory. It has many interesting properties: it generates all rational numbers exaclty once (and you can estimate the maximum height it should appear), many simmetries and pn - mq = 1 relations useful for factoring numbers. Very interesting video to me, I've never seen the geometry on this. Geometry has this weird habit of making algebra look nicer.

I have watched this video like 40 times. the way he writes down the numbers is so different from everybody else. 2 and 9 are the most unique out of any of them

Best video ever on Numberphile. Amazed by all the conclusions that were made. Just brilliant!

My new favourite Numberfile video. Blown away. Classic Numberfile. I was so excited watching that. It's like magic. There must be something fundamental about patterns like that. What field of mathematics is that? Pure maths? Gonna do an OU course I think. Never too late.

I would love to know the deeper explanation for this.

This video would have been worth watching to learn about the circle-plus sign trick alone. The fact that the entire thing is full of interesting stuff puts it over the moon.

honestly this guys smile makes me so happy, like he looks genuinely happy throughout all of this.

Awesome! This might be my favorite Numberphile video to date! I've been drawing those kinds of circle patterns for years. Many thanks Brady! : )
