If you ever wanted motivation to study mathematics, here it is:



/e and he isn't joking: linear algebra, non-euclidean geometry, and partial differential equations will get you started on this

I had trouble trying to imagine what that medium was between planets. The "stuff" that fills the space to keep planets orbiting. This video helped me. thanks

Loved it. Great visuals, they help you to understand the theory itself.

O.O

i just took my first linear algebra course this semester. it was interesting to say the least, shitty as fuark prof, but the thing that interested me the most was that it was applicable to n-dimensions....something so hard to see but can be shown mathematically...

modern geometry next sem( same prof unfortunately :( ). and i am taking diff eq too, to get a dual major, although i may have to get a triple/quad with physics/engineering....

i do have a dream of being the Einstein of the 21st century xD

anyway good video, never seen this before on TED and i am on there lots
