Man this makes me wanna learn math more
alan should put this in the video.
I need to know what types TSC is using
@@xvie_z2900fax I wanna understand everything in this video
I am really interested in a sequel that includes a lot of other math concepts like Probability, Linear Algebra and Calculus. If you put a nonlinear differential equation with chaotic solutions into the equation solver, will you get an infinitely complex multidimensional math expression in an incomprehensible language? Will you summon the Mandelbrot Set, the true final boss of mathematics who is far stronger than e^ipi?
There could be.
yeah
🤓👆
*THE MATH LORE*
0:07 The simplest way to start -- 1 is given axiomatically as the first *natural number* (though in some Analysis texts, they state first that 0 is a natural number)
0:13 *Equality* -- First relationship between two objects you learn in a math class.
0:19 *Addition* -- First of the four fundamental arithmetic operations.
0:27 Repeated addition of 1s, which is how we define the rest of the naturals in set theory; also a foreshadowing for multiplication.
0:49 Addition with numbers other than 1, which can be defined using what we know with adding 1s. (proof omitted)
1:23 *Subtraction* -- Second of the four arithmetic operations.
1:34 Our first *negative number!* Which can also be expressed as *e^(i*pi),* a result of extending the domain of the *Taylor series* for e^x (\sum x^n/n!) to the *complex numbers.*
1:49 e^(i*pi) multiplying itself by i, which opens a door to the... imaginary realm? Also alludes to the fact that Orange is actually in the real realm. How can TSC get to the quantity again now?
2:12 Repeated subtraction of 1s, similar to what was done with the naturals.
2:16 Negative times a negative gives positive.
2:24 *Multiplication,* and an interpretation of it by repeated addition or any operation.
2:27 Commutative property of multiplication, and the factors of 12.
2:35 *Division,* the final arithmetic operation; also very nice to show that - and / are as related to each other as + and x!
2:37 Division as counting the number of repeated subtractions to zero.
2:49 Division by zero and why it doesn't make sense. Surprised that TSC didn't create a black hole out of that.
3:04 *Exponentiation* as repeated multiplication.
3:15 How higher exponents corresponds to geometric dimension.
3:29 Anything non-zero to the zeroth power is 1.
3:31 Negative exponents! And how it relates to fractions and division.
3:37 Fractional exponents and *square roots!* We're getting closer now...
3:43 Decimal expansion of *irrational numbers* (like sqrt(2)) is irregular. (I avoid saying "infinite" since technically every real number has an infinite decimal expansion...)
3:49 sqrt(-1) gives the *imaginary number i,* which is first defined by the property i^2 = -1.
3:57 Adding and multiplying complex numbers works according to what we know.
4:00 i^3 is -i, which of course gives us i*e^(i*pi)!
4:14 Refer to 3:49
4:16 *Euler's formula* with x = pi! The formula can be shown by rearranging the Taylor series for e^x.
4:20 Small detail: Getting hit by the negative sign changes TSC's direction, another allusion to the complex plane!
4:22 e^(i*pi) to e^0 corresponds to the motion along the unit circle on the complex plane.
4:44 The +1/-1 "saber" hit each other to give out "0" sparks.
4:49 -4 saber hits +1 saber to change to -3, etc.
4:53 2+2 crossbow fires out 4 arrows.
4:55 4 arrow hits the division sign, aligning with pi to give e^(i*pi/4), propelling it pi/4 radians round the unit circle.
5:06 TSC propelling himself by multiplying i, rotating pi radians around the unit circle.
5:18 TSC's discovery of the *complex plane* (finally!) 5:21 The imaginary axis; 5:28 the real axis.
5:33 The unit circle in its barest form.
5:38 2*pi radians in a circle.
5:46 How the *radian* is defined -- the angle in a unit circle spanning an arc of length 1.
5:58 r*theta -- the formula for the length of an arc with angle theta in a circle with radius r.
6:34 For a unit circle, theta / r is simply the angle.
6:38 Halfway around the circle is exactly pi radians.
6:49 How the *sine and cosine functions* relate to the anticlockwise rotation around the unit circle -- sin(x) equals the y-coordinate, cos(x) equals to the x-coordinate.
7:09 Rotation of sin(x) allows for visualization of the displacement between sin(x) and cos(x).
7:18 Refer to 4:16
7:28 Changing the exponent by multiples of pi to propel itself in various directions.
7:34 A new form!? The Taylor series of e^x with x=i*pi. Now it's got infinite ammo!? Also like that the ammo leaves the decimal expansion of each of the terms as its ballistic markings.
7:49 The volume of a cylinder with area pi r^2 and height 8.
7:53 An exercise for the reader (haha)
8:03 Refer to 4:20
8:25 cos(x) and sin(x) in terms of e^(ix)
8:33 -This part I do not understand, unfortunately...- TSC creating a "function" gun f(x) = 9tan(pi*x), so that shooting at e^(i*pi) results in f(e^(i*pi))= f(-1) = 0. (Thanks to @anerdwithaswitch9686 for the explanation -- it was the only interpretation that made sense to me; still cannot explain the arrow though, but this is probably sufficient enough for this haha)
9:03 Refer to 5:06
9:38 The "function" gun, now "evaluating" at infinity, expands the real space (which is a vector space) by increasing one dimension each time, i.e. the span of the real space expands to R^2, R^3, etc.
9:48 log((1-i)/(1+i)) = -i*pi/2, and multiplying by 2i^2 = -2 gives i*pi again.
9:58 Blocking the "infinity" beam by shortening the intervals and taking the limit, not quite the exact definition of the Riemann integral but close enough for this lol
10:17 Translating the circle by 9i, moving it up the imaginary axis
10:36 The "displacement" beam strikes again! Refer to 7:09
11:26 Now you're in the imaginary realm.
12:16 "How do I get out of here?"
12:28 -Don't quite get this one...- Says "exit" with 't' being just a half-hidden pi (thanks @user-or5yo4gz9r for that)
13:03 n! in the denominator expands to the *gamma function,* a common extension of the factorial function to non-integers.
13:05 Substitution of the iterator from n to 2n, changing the expression of the summands. The summand is the formula for the volume of the *n-dimensional hypersphere* with radius 1. (Thanks @brycethurston3569 for the heads-up; you were close in your description!)
13:32 Zeta (most known as part of the *Zeta function* in Analysis) joins in, along with Phi (the *golden ratio)* and Delta (commonly used to represent a small quantity in Analysis)
13:46 Love it -- Aleph (most known as part of *Aleph-null,* representing the smallest infinity) looming in the background.
Welp that's it! In my eyes anyway. Anything I missed?
The nth Edit: Thanks to the comment section for your support! It definitely helps being a math major to be able to write this out of passion. Do keep the suggestions coming as I refine the descriptions!
hey, are you my teacher?
I will be waiting for your part 2!
Please continue dude, till end. I confused about the end of the video.
Do everything pls.
Now we just need this narrated over the video National Geographic style.
The reason why I love this series so much isn't just because of the animation and choreography, but because rules of how the world works are established and are never broken. Regardless of how absurd fight scenes play out there's a careful balance to ensure that not a single rule is broken.
Absolutely. The limitations create room for playing around within them. Combat feels just as much of a battle of wits, finding the right application for a tool, as a contest of strength.

I cried of happiness watching this video, thank you! Doing two years of further mathematics in college paid off :-) my favourite moment is when e to eye pie used the limit to fend off infinity. Huge thanks to the creator!
It speaks to Alan and his team’s talent on a number of levels that they can even make me feel sympathy for Euler’s number.
Now all we need is natural logs in minecraft vs animation 😅
He is on another dimension, not on another level anymore
Finally, somebody said what it’s called so I can look up what the antagonist actually is.
Ironically enough, this is the first time I’ve utilized my calculus knowledge outside of school hahaha
@@FletchableEven though I use lot’s of this stuff daily (I’m a programmer) I’d literally never heard it called Euler’s number before this animation lol.

Yes
4:16 Note that the equality -e^(iθ) = -cos(θ) + i sin(θ) does not always hold, but -e^(iθ) = -(cos(θ) + i sin(θ)) does, per Euler's formula. I believe that's what was meant here, so I would've preferred for parentheses to have been used in that way. In fact, it would've made the expression longer, which might have made the animation more dramatic.

Some Small Details
5:29 this shows The Second Coming is approximately 1.65 units tall. An average adult male is 1.6~1.8 meters tall. It appears the math space is in SI units, m being the SI unit of length. This also shows TSC is about 165cm tall, or 5' 5".
7:45 a circle is represented as x^2 + y^2 = r^2. Inserting a pi turns it into the area of a circle, pi*r^2. Inserting 8 turns it into the volume of a cylinder, 8*pi*r^2.
9:01 since f(x) is 9*tan(x) and tangent turns angle into the steepness of a line, it can latch onto the unit circle.
9:40 f(dot) represents the tangent function at a given point (throughout this video, we can see a dot used as an arbitary number on the number line), and f(inf) represents the tangent function over the entire number line [0, +inf). An entire number line can be seen as a span of an unit vector, thus each shot increases the dimension of the span. This also implies that TSC is a being that is four-dimensional.
9:57 Sigma + limit = integral. If you try to derive the definite integral using the sum of rectangles method, you will eventually transform lim(sigma(f(...)) into integral(g(...)).
10:04 Calculating an integral of a function can be seen as getting the total (polar) area between the function and the number line. Thus the Integral Sword attacks with R2.
11:31 welcome to the imaginary realm. Hope you like it here.

Yes, I agree too.
Egor is too good in sound design and animation
Barely anyone talks about sound design in general. Whenever people release an animation or something with great sound design they just take it for granted and continue to laud the animators
The graphic design in this episode was nothing short of phenomenal. The way e^iπ and TSC interact with numbers is so smooth and natural, and they use complicated formulas so creatively, too... Too bad it didn't fit in the narrative of AvA's grand story because this was one of the most beautifully animated episodes I've ever seen from your team
I suppose it could, since TSC was last seen in a jail cell, and they could have knocked him out during transfer somewhere else, possibly.
Ikr
Are we sure it doesn't fit? I need to rewatch the last chapter, but TSC was captured and in some kind of facility, with the way he woke up in this place he could be in some kind of experiment or simulation

My math teacher teaches with fun students just don't understand themselves and blame her that her teaching is very poor they always talks (I understand math very well by her)
I thought yellow would be in it cause he is a red stone scientist so he would know the simple math😊
I'm studying at the Faculty of Math in university right now and every month i come back to this masterpiece to see what new did i learn. When this animation came out i didnt understand anything besides the begining, now i almost got everything, and everytime it gets more and more interesting to analyse every small detail i notice
Thanks for it, it helps he understand that im getting better, smarter, and my efforts arent worthless
I showed this to my Precal teacher and she really enjoyed pointing out all the references to stuff like the unit circle and Sin waves. I think she also had that kind of moment!
Man 5 months of progress huh
what were the functions towars the end ?
@@whimsy_vision phi is probably just generic function, at least I don't remember specific functions that use the name, then there's Riemann zeta function, delta I'm not sure about, might be the delta function, and I don't know which function is in background.
Looking at other comments, it's aleph in background. Aleph is "size" of infinite sets. And phi is fibonacchi sequence
Delta function is not strictly a function, but physicists like it. What's so weird about it, it has a non-zero integral despite being different from zero in only a single point. It's a part of generalized functions (distributions), which are absolutely amazing, but rarely taught. Then there's weaker version, Sobolev functional spaces, which is used more often, but is less amazing. Imagine, being able to integrate and differentiate (integrate by parts) everything. Delta function appears there as differential of heaviside step (or half of second derivative of modulus). Of course there's a corresponding price to pay
Why are you studying math?
This is literally 100/10. The sounds, the effects, the animation, the accurate equations and the story, they all were hella awesome. Thanks Alan.
100/10 is 10, so it's quite literally 100/10 out of 100/10 :)

When I mentioned Alan Becker at the height as an artist I respect, their response was ... "Who?" .... This guy started with a simple animation animator vs animation .. now he makes great crossover stories with his characters and now released , a perfect mathematical spectacle connected to a simple story but so brilliantly done that hats off. I don't care what happened to them, but I will continue to follow his stories, which he permeated in such a way that he creates his own category that he undoubtedly rules. Keep it up.

There's so much I can say about this, it's so creative. Good job, Alan and the team.

Another thing i dont see anyone pointing out is aleph null as a behemoth due to it being the smallest infinity, i loved every bit of this, its my third time rewatching
It’s a behemoth because even if it’s the smallest infinity, it’s still infinity. Not finite. And that means…. IMPOSSIBLY big. So yeah. Behemoth.

I came here thinking this video came out 6 years ago but no it was only 6 hours. I’m sure I could say plenty that others have said but it’s so good to see fun and creative animations like this still existing on TH-cam after all these years and all the hassles on TH-cam. No Ads, No Sponsors, No Patreon no Merch Plugins, just the art of animation in its purest form. Incredible work, keep it up.
Same, Alan is so good.
You'd see more of it if TH-cam wasnt doing its best to kill any creator that doesn't toe the line exactly as they want it.
TH-cam is absolutely ruthless to animators. It's just that Alan's content is exactly what TH-cam likes.

As a math major, I think a pretty common experience between all of us is that it's very difficult to talk to anyone about this sorta stuff. It's genuinely pretty heartwarming seeing the discipline as this awesome world, and then to actually have the world itself be rigorous and sound.
You want the world to be rigorous and sound you go be a machine where everything is definite for you. As a human, we want possibilities which means uncertainty and we want everything that we could or could not never ever imagine of to manifest in front of us. I do not want to live in a finite and defined world, I want things that we could never physically figure out and a world that we could never explain.

Being a human in this world, we want the ultimate unlimited possibilities, which means no rule can describe the nature of the world in its entirety (hence not disciplined), and will always have unexpected things happening which you could never (and I mean never) imagine (hence can not be rigorous).
