They are so awesome, explain everything in simple terms first, build up the concept, introduce one jargon. let that sink in, introduce another jargon and this way, they make the content much more enjoyable and engaging. Rather than jumping right into theories, playing with numbers and seeing how beautiful they can be is probably the best way to learn math. From this video, I learnt two things. 1. What is transcendental numbers 2. How to teach someone critical concept efficiently with in certain steps Thanks to everyone who were involved in the creation of this video.

    The more precise definition of transcendentals is that they are not the root of any polynomial with rational coefficients; that's why the game they demonstrate here doesn't include "multiplying it by zero" or "raising it to the zero power". The polynomials corresponding to these moves do not have unique roots. (Tell me what value of x makes the following equation true: 0*x + 0 = 0. Answer: all of them.)

    Even more precise definition: a complex number is transcendental if it is not the root of any _nonzero_ polynomial with rational coefficients. Of course, replacing 'rational' with 'integer' makes no difference to the definition.

I believe a lot of people already know but a lot don't and the history behind it must be quite interesting, so many mathematicians behind and using it… An intro for logs, natural log, calculus… I know that the function (1+1/n)ˆn; if n gets arbitrarily big, it tends to e Where else can the number appear??

    I see that in this videos thumbnail you have pi tetration e. I'm sure this wasn't on purpose, but it leads me into the following request. Could you do a video on what comes after exponents? Aka tetration. Or a video describing all the hyperoperations? Hyperoperation 1 is addition hyperoperation 2 is multiplication hyperoperation 3 is exponents, hyperoperation 4 is tetration, and so on.

    I thought the subscript meant base; as in: e in base π. They should redo their dungeon number -video with tetration, instead of bases. That would really blow up fast. Maybe something close to f_ω(n). 🤔

    As an engineer, I can confirm that pi is 22/7. I can count to 20, but only if I take my socks off. Engineering degrees don't contain any maths whatsoever because there is simply no way that a mathematical concept could be applied in any way to any engineering problem. And under no circumstances could I enjoy mathematics and, for example, watch KZread videos on the subject.

    (1-1) isn't a whole number coefficient. 1-1 is zero, which is not usually considered a whole number. Also, you can multiply any number by 0 and get 0, transcendental numbers included. It's kind of the math equivalent of defining a word using the word you're trying to define. An algebraic number needs to reduce to zero using a rational polynomial that isn't zero.

    How to make π: To make the dough for the pie crust, mix 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon each salt and sugar in a medium-size bowl. Cut 2 sticks chilled unsalted butter into pieces. With a pastry blender, cut in butter, working until mixture resembles coarse meal. 2. Add 4 tablespoons ice water; work with hands until dough comes together. If dough is still crumbly, add more ice water a tablespoon at a time (up to 4 more tablespoons). Do not overwork. 3. Divide dough in half, and flatten halves into disks. Wrap disks separately in plastic; refrigerate at least 1 hour. 4. To form the pie shell, roll the dough on a floured surface into a 14-inch round. Wrap around rolling pin and carefully unroll over a 9-inch pie plate. 5. Fit gently into bottom and side of plate. Use kitchen shears to trim dough to a 1-inch overhang; fold under, and seal to form a rim. 6. Crimp rim with fingertips and knuckle. Repeat with remaining dough; wrap each with plastic, stack, and freeze.
