An algorithm for numerically solving certain 2d equations. Brought to you by...you! https://patreon.com/3blue1brown Special thanks to these supporters: http://3b1b.co/winding-thanks Even though we described how winding numbers can be used to solve 2d equations at a high level, it's worth pointing out that there are a few details missing for if you wanted to actually implement this. For example, in order to determine how often to sample points, you'd want to have some bounds on the rate at which the direction of the output changes. We will perhaps discuss this more in a follow-on video!

"Being good at math is not about being right the first time. It's about having the resilience to carefully look back and understand the mistake (and) understand how to fix them." ~3B1B
Yes but it's very worth mentioning it in the context of math in my opinion.
This is true for how to live LIFE even.
@Julius Fučík Studying Math and Physics has the added benefit of keeping most people open-minded and relatively humble--you can't fake a right answer, and no one is always right!
Yeah that's exactly what he said.
@Paskal S. This applies to pretty much any serious fields.

Millennia is plural. Unless you're talking about a collection of millennia, you should be using millennium.

I'm sorry sir, but I have seen a better math plot twist. Unfortunately it's in russian https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DkFam4ELD38

Talking about colors and Stoke’s theorem was a perfect setup for Green’s Theorem
(Ba-Dum-Tss)
Man, I need to go back and review
vector calculus
@Zimty In Chapter 7 of Arnold's "Mathematical Methods Of Classical Mechanics" there's a nice description too. It recquires a minimum background. In the last paragraph of "Ordinary Differential Equations" (the Roger Cook translation) there's a nice explanations of winding numbers and the degree of a mapping in the context of Ode's
Is it weird that I had to actually say,”Ba-Dum-Tss” out loud in order to realize that it was the drum noise?
actually green's theorem is used to derive stoke's theorem. also greens theorem can be used in some pretty intense isoperimetric problem
@ZerGreenOne Why not just use the Fundamental Theorem of Geometric Calculus?
TFW colorblind…
Abdega I
I am a mild deutan and the colors looked fine to me. :P
Abdega if you have an android phone, find out how to unloxk the developer settings, then you'll be able to use the color blind settings on your phone
If it helps at all I have no idea, but its worth a shot
@Damien Busatto-Gaston I really didn't want to write r/IAmVerySmart.
Objects in Motion which is incredibly bad for the winding numbers used in the second half of the video
The real reason this is worth 20 minutes is because 3 Blue 1 Brown uploaded it.
Vim!
Internet Explorer!
Wolfram|Alpha!
That is literally … circular reasoning! :D
And what about the imaginary reason? ;
Even though we described how winding numbers can be used to solve 2d equations at a high level, it's worth pointing out that there are a few details missing for if you wanted to actually implement this. For example, in order to determine how often to sample points, you'd want to have some bounds on the rate at which the direction of the output changes. We will perhaps discuss this more in a follow-on video.
Also, to answer what a few people have asked in the comments, it's certainly the case that you can have a zero that this algorithm doesn't find. For example, combining regions whose boundaries have winding numbers +1 and -1 will give a region whose boundary has winding number 0, and hence which wouldn't be searched. For that matter, this is very much true in the 1d case as well; you could have a region with many zeros where the function is positive at both ends. You thought you could get an algorithm guaranteed to find all zeros of any continuous function? We're only human!
Hey is there some Website or online interaction program where you can type in functions and this function is run?
Why is teacher pi yellow?
Seems to me that the algorithm doesn’t work. What if there is a white spot in the loop and when you reach out from the center of the plane, you are getting to zero. It seems to me that this scenario is plausible, if not, why?
21:10 So what's the point if the gray areas where zeros aren't found may or may not have a solution?
What about a 3d function
To be continued... now!
gets goosebumps
also when the theory was wrong/incomplete.. it's like.. math on-the-fly XP

I almost had a heart attack when I thought it was a cliff hanger
I was about to ragequit math at that cliffhanger
Stop playing with our emotions 3blue1brown!
true
"To be continued"
Me: Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
"Now"
Me: Phew
I actually cried out in pain when it said "to be continued"
When the "To be continued" came up at 13:32, I was sad that the video was over, but satisfied with what I had seen so far. Cheeky surprise!
Amazing video as always, Grant.
... and Sridhar :-)
"To be continued... NOW!"
I really love how you are able to explain such concepts so clearly that even a highschooler who speaks English as a second language like me can understand them. Is anyone else here in the same position as me?
This is interesting. I do hope you do more "Essence Of" series, though. I often send students to those when they have issues with calc or linear algebra. It would be great to have more to use.
In his Patreon page interview introducing the two new team members, Sridhar and Ben, Grant throws in right at the very end that Sridhar will be picking up the baton on the Essence of Probability series, and Ben will tackle Essence of Set Theory (I think). Grant himself will do an entire follow-on Essence of Linear Algebra series to add to/enhance what topics covered in Essence of L.A. Part I. With now three people creating content, the flow should increase commensurately.
this sounds great! i also would love to see an essence of multivariable calculus. should lend itself well to visualization. ...and complex calculus....and tensors! keep the good work going! <3 this is really the best math channel, i 've ever seen!
Actually, Grant does multivariable calculus by Khan academy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrcCbdWwCBc&list=PLSQl0a2vh4HC5feHa6Rc5c0wbRTx56nF7
Watching the end bit and seeing the top of the "infinite list of all topics," my reaction was, "MAKE VIDEOS ON EVERY ONE OF THESE!"
And the Gödel will start to complain that .... Never mind.
i just became a patreon of yours.
your videos just tickle every cell in my brain and i love it.
keep up the good work :)
That "to be continued" had me checking the length of the video on the edge of my seat. Never wanted to hear more about math in my life. Inspiring stuff and fabulous animations. Thank you
My heart broke when I saw the "To be continued..", but then I was filled with immense joy when the ..now popped up. Grant, you sneaky troll!
23:56 He uses TAU in his programming! I really hope Matt Parker watches this! haha! Great video as always
When are you uploading probability series?
That would help so much for understanding quantum mechanics.
you have to be patreon to see them.
So are they available for patreons or does he accept requests only of patreons.
Patreons have had sneak previews of (I think) the four he's made for that series. In his Patreon video introducing the new team members, he mentioned at the end that Sridhar will now assume command of the rest of the Essence of Probability series. Progress should now pick up with three guys contributing content. This and the previous video have been their respective "debuts"
Ahmed Usman yes I am.
I had one question: If you have a rod of length "l". And you broke it into 3 parts. Then find the probability that they will make a triangle.
If possible plzz make a video on it I want to see how you explain it. I love your channel.😍😍😍😍😍🔉
Very interesting question.
As I see, core of the solution is to find number of possible points placement, which forms parts with sizes capable to form triangle (sum of two ≥ third), and divide it by number of all points in the original rod.
I'm not even nearly a mathematician (just EE), but I have very strong desire to try.
Bet it will easy for discrete case, then I'll try to convert it into continuous one.
I was like noo thats not right, it isn't always like that
few minutes later:

edit : why don't you put an ad after the 'clicky stuff'
17:49 Gave me Goosebumps!
When the music stopped after the initial algorithm failed: 3b1b.exe has stopped
13:35 epic 😂😂
13:33 I wish more shows did this.
As someone who fell in love with math a long time ago, I have to say that this is one of the most beautiful and enjoyable videos I have ever seen!
The cliffhanger in the middle was going to make me verbally attack you. Good thing you didn't hype up the stakes and leave us hanging..
Why is 3B1B consistently high art
"To be continued", awwww. "Now", oh yay!
This 24 minutes video felt like it was 5 minutes long or so
Agree. I did a double-take when the video was over. Time flies by fast when you are having fun, or watching an excellent math video! :)
"to be continued..." WHAT?!
"... now" oh...
I both love and hate you
"To be continued... Now"
HAHAHAHA
"Being wrong is a regular part of doing math"
Sneaking growth mindset into a video? Nice to see all that discussion on Ben, Ben and Blue has paid off.
I love these videos! You impress me every time.
This is the best channel on YouTube. So we'll made and thoughtfully executed. You and your team inspire curiosity, thank you!
13:32 My heart litterally stoped for a few seconds...
F & Yu stopped*
I really hope you get paid enough for the amazing work that you're doing. Thank you for this. You put in a lot of effort and hardwork and it is visible in your videos. I wish you loads of success in life.
Loved the video! You are my favourite mathematics teacher ever. You bring a new perception of mathematics.
13:38 you got me lol
That... that was beautiful ! Thank you. Thank you for the being that clear in your explanations, for always choosing so interesting content, for the neat animation well appreciated, for the colors in this video and for the kind message at the end.
I'm a maths teacher and your channel blew me away quite a few times ! And I love that. :)
So thank you again !
13:33 To be continued...
-Ohhh maaaan!
Realizing there is 10 minutes more and the word "now." comes up = Absolute happiness.
You know, all of this reminds me of cauchy's residue theorem. The zeroes are like poles and computing the winding number is the same as performing a contour integration.
If the contour integral is an integer multiple of 2πi, then the area contains a pole (or multiple).
Though the similarity is really nice.
Can anyone please elaborate on how it is related?
I love these videos, and I am terrific at math, but the vids make me realize how much of a NOOB I actually am in comparison to other, much more brilliant people.
Now, I wonder if the integral has to do with the sine of 2π. But, as a disclaimer, I know NOTHING about what you are doing with math.
You scared me when you said 'To be continued' I thought that was the video and got really scared
I was scared when I saw that To be continued XD
Was like NONO PLS I NEED TO KNOW THIS XD
Immediately checked on video timer, and was like, PHEW
Nice troll XD
Honestly, I would definitely watch a movie made by you..
And I'm sure everyone else will too..
Soo, can we get a movie? :3
He DID recently speak to a group at Pixar. (Jus' sayin' . . . )
Thanks for reminding me how beautiful mathematics is
There is so much beautiful topology and complex analysis in this video. I love it. I'm a grad student in mathematical/theoretical physics and I really appreciate what you're doing to educate people.
hah the part when the music cut out was hilarious

I was really annoyed, because i hate to be continued.
Like this it was ok though.
