Summer of Math Exposition

I really enjoyed the animation style here, and I think the presentation of it being a conversation between characters could go a long way to keeping the viewer engaged. The tone and humor is well done for a YouTube video, and the high-level introduction to basic concepts of measure theory and/or analysis is solid.

brilliantly animated and very engaging. but you zoomed through the technical math way too fast.

Honestly, I don’t think any part really needs to be expanded. The motivation is clear, especially for the target audience, the ideas are clear (at least for undergraduates) and well-explained, the idea is novel as I had never seen something like it, and the video was funny and engaging, thus making it memorable. I really enjoyed it! The only thing is that the tag “high-school” was selected in the target audience, and I think that maybe not all high-school students know what axioms are, and the probably won’t understand the meaning of some more technical definitions that are usually defined later in the school curriculum (basic undergraduate level).

Combining math and comedy is always a plus for me. Telling math through a story is what someone like Richard Feynman would have done also, and I love it. You can see that this isn’t a video you’ve just quickly done over night, but rather that everything was planned out and the viewer and their feelings were taking into consideration. It’s kind of sad that the video ended so quickly, but I know that animations are A LOT of work.

The premise of the video is clear, and at the end of it I feel like I understand the conclusion well enough to explain it to someone else.

It has its own unique style which is very engaging. I do hope it gets more depth.

Nice ! love the vibe ! Made me what to know more !

Yes, it is clearly visualized and explained and even with a funny story.

Very high production value and entertaining overall! But I’m not sure what this is adding to the conversation on measure theory… seems like this is mostly just from a textbook.

I well known measure theory, but I did not understand the video; I am confused. I don’t see how this could be useful for my students. Please be clearer about the objectives of the video, and remember that it should be useful for interested students.

I enjoyed the character design, the storytelling elements, and the humour. The presentation was engaging and it gives a quick review of the axioms of probability (and points out to the fact that they are almost the same as the axioms of a measure). I also loved the commentary and insights on math notation. I think that the video will get more people curious about those more advanced areas of math!

Nice styling and retrocomputing music + the mathematical content is important in the sense the students would ask exactly these questions.

Going from points to lines probably needs a bit more explanation.

Loved the style! Funny and engaging, I loved the characters.

The message was rather simple, but that is not a problem on its own. Probability is measure. The mathematical parts were quite shallow, more like an add-on than the point of the video. Immediately the uniform distribution was thrown in without (measure theoretic) definition, so these take away some points.

Overall I would LOVE to see more videos from you in this style. Don’t have to focus on deep results or rigorous definitions, just one important concept as the theme is perfect (like here), I just ask that if you DO put math on the screen, then leave it up for long enough to be understood, and emphasize the important parts (such as adding disjoint with a different color besides italicizing).

This was a really fun video to watch because of the dialogue between jaron, prox, and joshua as they discover measure theory. The content is educational and at the same time, it evokes a cyanide & happiness + xkcd ambiance in its animation. Some parts of the transitions go a little fast, I had to rewind and rewatch in a few spots where the 3 axioms were written out. Other than that, please make more videos, I’d keep watching them. The Ranking score is an average of these individual scores: Motivation: 9 Clarity: 6.7 Novelty: 7.9 Memorability: 9

This was just really fun. I didnt learn much, I already knew alot of this. It was very memorable though, which counts alot to making math accessible. Better than most, but like, but like, exactly so.

Wasnt very clear, or whatever. all else good.

Good explanation. Good graphics and you left text on the screen for sufficient time and circled back to them. I loved the enthusiasm of the green guy. Good job.

I love this video, hope you get something. The conversational style is great, it is concise, the few jokes are funny, aesthetic is really nice, the stock motion animation. Yeah, I think this is full marks video that can get teens and older more interested in math. Great job.

Unique and really cool animation style :) a bit hard to follow the red-thread of the story sometimes but unique style I enjoyed

This video is so much fun to watch! I love the characters, art style, the humor, and it describes a deep math idea in a very approachable way. The only criticism I have is it almost would have been better not to get into the actual axioms for probability, or at least not in such technical detail. Just showing the text on screen and not reading it aloud felt a little difficult keep up with.
