The ALMOST Perfect Numbers

The perfect numbers are some of the most famous in all of number theory. But since perfection is so hard to achieve, we're naturally drawn to the mathematical quest for perfection. That manifests itself in the form of many types of almost perfect numbers.

It is clear you spent a ton of time researching and working on this video. I am curious if there are real world applications of this. If there are, I would have loved a quick discussion of those. This was otherwise a really cool video and I’m glad to have watched it.

The topics are introduced nicely, however the effort put on the animations does not seem to be much meanwhile nothing much is needed for this topic. Some proofs were nice to see.

Lots of interesting information, but presentation was fairly dry. You covered a lot of ground, but I think I would have preferred several shorter videos more narrowly focused on one out of the many near-perfect types of numbers.

OK, confessing to a bit of bias - this gets a score boost because I'm interested in perfect numbers and their relatives.

This video is a bit long. It does a good job explaining the concept but I fell asleep at some point.

5.1

Nice job. Video cotains almost everything one can think of about this topic. This made the video a long one, but deserves watching all.
