The topic itself is good, but this presentation doesn’t add much to it. It’s easy to get lost in the details, so take a step back. Why are we solving this problem at all? What insights should we have along the way that lead us to the solution? Those should be the focus of the video. The formulas and equations are just getting in your way.

It’s not necessarily a bad video, but there’s a few things dragging it down. One is that the competition is just much better in comparison. There’s also an issue of lacking originality. This proof has been several times, and I don’t see how this one adds anything unique.

There also isn’t a lot of visual intuition.

1.5

I can’t follow up the writings time to time, and notably too much for most of students to grasp the work.

Very theoretical, hard to follow.

Poor quality overall.
