You explained the topics enough to understand what was going on and showed barely enough for us to be intrigued and interested in this without us getting really spoiled or you being tiresome. I am fully convinced to at least attempt and learn more from these fields eventually because of this video. I cannot help but praise you

In the sci-fi rouge like rpg "Caves of Qud" dark calculus is a forbidden field of mathematics, because it's study opens a path into a transcending layer of reality inhabited by an infinite ocean of psionic minds... After watching this i am impressed by how accurate to real life the devs made their lore.

There is so much mystique in this area. I feel like there is a mystery that is just lurking, waiting to be discovered. I see little tidbits of group theory conjugation, analytical combinatorics, probability density functions, so many paths begging to be traversed. From a personal point-of-view, so many potential application to physics

Oooh, this seems like it could have lots of utility in digital audio processing, since you're regularly moving between the discrete and continuous domains.

Absolutely fantastic video. The Newton difference formula derivation was simply amazing, i used it before but never knew where it came from and this was just the cherry on top. Can't wait for the follow up!

Very nice! The example of umbral calculus on the Wiki page is pretty cool too, it relates to Bernoulli polynomials B_n(x) which satisfy the identity B_n(x) = (B + x)^n, i.e. B_n(x) = sum (n,k) B_k(x) x^(n-k). And you can actually simplify some proofs of identities involving the Bernoulli polynomials by doing "calculus" with this umbral notation.

Great video about a topic I didn't really know anything about. Surprised of seeing stirling numbers too, when I learned about them they were shed by a completely different light and these kind of connections are what make math so interesting. Looking forward for a follow-up! And I hope this video gets blessed by the algorithm just like other SOME2 videos have been. Thanks and have a great day.

Super interesting Stuff! I like how categorically you can see in this topic that calculus itself is a limit of this discrete version! The exposition was super easy to follow, love it.

Thank you Supware for introducing me to this beautiful world of Umbral Calculus!

This was just WOW I always had the idea and the basics of the discrete calculus calmly sit somewhere in the back of my mind with me knowing that is it like "somewhat" related to the canon calculus, but now that i see this video, i realize that OH MAN is it something completely different!! I would surely love to see more content on some more advanced stuff on this topic, top interesting stuff

This was really interesting. Thank you for explaining things slow enough that I could keep up. So many videos on advanced topics go too fast and I get really lost.

This was awesome. I feel like I finally have a window into why I leaned everything that I did and how everything is connected from combinatorics to sums and differences and the discrete, to the continuous, to linear algebra, to complex numbers

Very Interesting! Great Job. Well and easy explained!

Wow, that was so cool. Thanks for posting this.

Great video! I had been exposed to Umbral Calculus a wee bit, but not much stuck with me; and I had also learned a little bit about doing finite sums (a la Newton) using falling and rising powers. But the two different parts of my brain didn't make the connection between the two topics until this video. Thanks! This new (for me) connection has already illuminated a lot of things I had been confused/stumped/stuck about before, and I can't wait to put this into practice!

I hope you continue with this videos. It it amazing work. Thanky you man !

Incredibly well done, this is exactly my kind of thing. Thank you :)!

Very high quality vid! I once read the Wikipedia page on discrete calculus, and the conclusion I came up with after reading for a bit was that it was dumb people calculus for dumb babies, and also that it was boring and dumb. But this was actually pretty interesting!

There's a pretty good intro to surreal numbers at kzread.info/dash/bejne/jI2elrCklaq2lLA.html but I would definitely present some things differently, especially early on. In particular I'd lay the foundations (up to the definitions of star, half, and up/down) using a simpler game than Hackenbush, one specially constructed to provide a 1:1 mapping between mechanism and formalism. Just draw trees with red and blue branches, put a counter (monkey) at the bottom of each tree, and specify that the red player must take a monkey up a red branch, while the blue player must take a monkey up a blue branch. If you can't move a monkey, you lose.

This was just beautiful 😍😍

fantastic video

This was great thank you

Umbral calculus is truly a shadow of school calculus. I played around with umbral calculus and discovered that the sequence 2^n is its own difference. Therefore, 2^n is a shadow of e^x. Really cool. EDIT: If you apply newton's forward difference formula to 2^n, you get something that is disturbingly similar to the maclaurin series for e^x

Excellent, thank you very much 🙂

Great video!! Keep up

this umbral calculus is the quantum mechanics of mathematics where the wave function is applied to the derivative of the delta operator and the result is a function amplitude which, if squared, gives you the probability that you have the correct answer in terms of the sigma of the exponential.

Make more that was great!!

This is so cooool. Which books or other texts could you recommend about this topic?

Woooow, this is incredible

12:25 it all looks nice but these formulas should only work for the natural x, right? Otherwise your n choose k should be transformed into something with the Gamma function, right? Basically, it should only apply for e^(ax), integer x. We should be able to pass complex numbers for a for sure, but x should stay a natural number for all of this to work. Or am I missing something?
