A number of people have asked if we'll do this again next year. I'm hesitant to make any promises, but we're definitely leaning towards doing so. There's no small amount of work involved, especially given that there are certain things we might want to do more deliberately if we did a SoME2. Stay tuned!
Although my video didn't enter the finalist, this event (SoME1) initiated my own math channel. That is the most important thing :) Thank you and look forward to SoME2 ! 😉✨🎉
I know math is the main subject of your channel, but it would be cool to extend the idea to other fields of study. Thank you for making this and everyone who organized and made videos for SoME, I learned a lot!
Isn't uniformly choosing a random point in a circle (or in any geometric space > 0D) an impossible task without discretising it? (At least in a limited amount of time?)
Yes please looking forward for SoME2. I missed out this year unfortunately (personal reasons) but I have a couple of cool maths ideas I'd like to share with people
the problem with it is less bad if you're better at getting bored of non-educational videos than you are with educational ones. unfortunately you need to know which is which. and unless you go looking you won't get shown how much more it could be showing you
@@3blue1brown i think the algorithm is one of the few things that people actually people praise TH-cam for. It's all the monetization things that is so bad.
I mean, it's pretty cool that lots of people made videos for this. But for many of them, these are their *only* videos. Most people are unlikely to subscribe to somebody who makes 1 good video, hoping for more, so many of these folks will just disappear again. Come to think of it, I haven't been watching 3b1b from the start. I think maybe I started watching his stuff after he'd been at it for a year and had over a dozen videos (during the linear algebra series, probably, or maybe the calculus series).
Everybody was commenting "we want more 3blue1brown videos" but what they actually wanted was high quality thought out math videos. So in a sense Mr.Sanderson delivered fully by helping out the community and provided us with hours of new videos to watch. Brilliant I might say.
It is truly amazing to see the incredibly breadth and diversity of both math and mathematicians who have taking part in SoME. Congrats to everyone, and in particular the winners!
I love how noticeable the effects of this contest were, suddenly my TH-cam-recommendations were filled with interesting math videos. I really hope this happens again next year.
Hi everyone! I made the video "The Tale of Three Triangles" which showed up at the end. This was such a fun competition, and it really motivated me to take my work to the next level. Thanks to Grant, James, the guest judges (especially Tai-Danae Bradley, who's a huge inspiration), and all the peer judges. This was the highlight of my summer and I'm so happy that people enjoyed my work. I loved all the other entries (especially the light-flicking puzzle) and it was great to have more math to watch.
So many submissions are so wonderful. They kept showing up in my recommended and it was probably the best recommended YT-video loop that I've fallen into so far.
So, I didn't know about the "contest" before now, but I've seen *so many* of the mentioned videos on my youtube stream recently. Thank you for inspiring people to create these
i was going to participate in the contest but i didn't, I was so suprise to see that I have already watched many of the videos shown! Thats why there was so many AMAZING new math videos on my fee! Thanks for the contest!
its not youtubes fault. the reason the algorithm seems to be doing a better job is because there is suddenly a LOT more math videos for the algorithm to work on. and a lot of them are really good too. so it seems to finally be doing its job, but the reason is because it has stuff to work with
I hope this can be a yearly event. I think it’d be inspiring to see the community evolves, and also would give a lot of people drive to keep creating and exploring. I absolutely loved exploring all of the entries and it left me wanting to see more.
I've seen more of these videos than I thought without realizing they in part owe their existence to your contest. I'm legitimately tearing up a little. Thank you, genuinely, for inspiring more mathematical creators.
So that's why TH-cam started to get full of these amazing videos! I already watched a lot of them, they are truly awesome. The value that Grant and his team have created with this it's truly inmensurable.
It's kind of insane to me, as someone who never thought of math as more than just a school subject with only realistic applications, to see how math can be used in fun exciting and fascinating ways to learn and grow the ways in which people understand the world around them through numbers instead of words. I loved this contest, and hope it can teach everyone, interested or not, in the thought processes behind math
I really loved this event. I didn't participate, but the amount of new educational content creators that I discovered is amazing. Props to all of them!
My 8th grade chem teacher once mentioned that the weird clouds electron orbits form is due to higher dimentional geometry which was why the video on how how 4d points map onto a 3d shadow was really intersting.
@@dindindundun8211 As a primer, you might like to use what you learned about SO(3) in the Dirac video to dive into spherical harmonics. A little knowledge about Laplace's equation should be enough to start getting a grasp there. Those functions certainly tie into the shapes of electron probability clouds, and that much I can provide resources for -- as far as reasons for this connection go, and as far as higher-dimensional geometry goes, I'm a clueless soul...
Technically, I am not even part the math community. I just drop by whenever I feel like to see some cool stuff, but man! This whole thing actually moved me. I was almost crying while watching this video from the sheer beatifulness that this massive joint project collectively produced.
I would suggest that you hold one of these contests regularly. Some people missed it and it is a great way to get underappreciated but nonetheless superb videos get more attention. I am also looking forward to watching the whole playlist and would love to have that opportunity every year or two. It would be a real gem.
yes, this "contest" was downright beautiful, i've seen various wonderful videos, really interesting concepts, well explained, problems for me to solve or at least try to, and lovely crafted. thank you very much, for inspiring so many amazing people to make just wonderful pieces of math and art
3blue1brown, I have to say this: With your contributions to Mathematics you will forever change the way Math will be taught and thought of. With your visual methods and those of all other great math youtubers, you make viewers and math enthusiasts understand topics that are seemingly impossible to grasp for the average brain. Aside your brilliant videos you have also brought the community closer together, unfolding the huge potential of all math creators on TH-cam and other platforms. Thanks to you I can already see a new golden age for Mathematics, something that would have taken decades longer without your ambitions. You have also motivated lots of people to also share their contribution to Mathematics, making them feel more involved in research and also making us feel like scientists ourselves. I might consider making some TH-cam videos about Math as well thanks to you :) Do not ever stop making these videos and I also ask you to make the competition an annual (or maybe even every 4 months) event to continue unfolding the entire potential of our brilliance. Thank you 3blue1brown for all of your contributions! (also, sorry for my bad english)
I want to thank you for this summer of math. There are some really great videos that came from this and they really expanded my appreciation for math. I especially love Hackenbush by Owen Maitzen.
Hackenbush was my favorite too. I stumbled across surreal numbers a while ago, and was utterly baffled when I learned that they originated from game theory; that video explained where they come from so clearly.
This was incredibly fun, even though I wasn't mentioned (as I expected, the competition is through the roof) it was an absolute delight to be a part of this
At some point I forgot about this event at all. But then TH-cam was FLOODED with astonishing explanation content which I watch all the time now. Many thanks to 3blue1brown and everyone involved, you are awesome!
Please, please, do a ‘best of’ compilation like this on a regular basis. I’ve watched and admired many of the videos you listed, but missed the majority of them. I look forward to watching the full playlist!
So one guy held one contest that produced more high quality math lessons than that one guy could produce in his whole life. Masterfully done, Grant and co.!
1:30 i remember this "random" tutorial on how to programm basic things in the web which helped me to get started and made all the difference. and here we are today, 10 years later as a professional web dev still remembering this one guy and his course which happend to fit to the 15 year old me perfectly
Sometimes I have this feeling of "I want to do this!" But it vanishes so quickly that I forget it exists, cause may be too hard, or I'm too afraid of puting energy and time to things that might doesn't work, but someday, I'll get it done. I'll make it, present some delicious and beautiful math to other people, from my point of view. Thank you very much, for encouraging and teaching me a lot of things that make my eyes shine!
Even if there isn’t the competition, just try making something mostly for yourself. Not at the point where I would do maths videos but I have started writing a set of notes (metric spaces based) just because it gave me something to do (and if they did drop, it’s harder to identify the real me from written notes than it is from my voice!)
I rarly ever comment on TH-cam, but I jusd feel obliged to thank you and all the other explainers. This summer was a truly spectacular one in terms of TH-cam content. Sometimes I felt like a kid in a sweetshop, unable to pick which video to watch. each explainer more intriguing than the last. A fantasitcal expirience, witnessing this vast abundance of math enthusiasm thrown all around. The future of math education just got a fair bit brighter. Thank you, from the depths of my heart. Kannai.
Really loved that you mentioned Freya Holmér's Work, For our VR and Game Dev Community she's an inspiration and been part of one our podcast about VR Game Development.
I have watched some of the winners videos in the previous without even knowing that they were somehow linked with this competition. Just goes to show how competition like this has created genuine Math content that might not have been available without @3B1B. Love the great work!
omg, I can't believe this but also do. This is the best thing ever, I apprecite the inspiration you have done and you can tell from lots of submissions' youtube channels, most of which only had one video just for this SoME and nothing else could be better than this. Thank you so much!
Joining this content was a bliss to my channel and a very exciting challenge. My video about double integrals was the most hard and fun to create, so thank you for making this contest and for believing in our projects!
You are actually making an impact around the world. I am living at the part of world where mathematics is made so tough to understand because teachers have not understood it well yet to deliver it with ease and enthusiasm. Thank you for providing such beautiful content and creating a community to share, learn and grow.
I love the phenomenon than one person (who I am fond of because of his great math videos) can powerfully motive so many people. I'm gonna look through the list top to bottom.
I have huge respect to people who simplify complicated information! They are true geniuses, legends! This kind of teaching is revolutionary. Quicker and easier you grasp something quicker and easier you will be able to use it and discover something new :)
Watching this made me think about how much knowledge there is that exists right now which I have no clue about. However, it doesn't discourage me instead it does the opposite and motivates me to keep learning. Truly appreciate these.
I have a Calc 1 midterm tomorrow and I was supposed to be reviewing nonstop right now but thanks to your epsilon delta limit video I only needed to spend 1/4 of the time than if I hadn’t seen that video. So now I get the time to enjoy a new vid from 3b1b Feels good man
I missed the contest! But I just watched the anouncement video the other day and I think it was the push I needed to finally flesh out that script I have in the back of my mind :)
I think my favorite part of this contest has been seeing how much it's changed my recommended videos! For all the issues I have with the TH-cam algorithm, it really is amazing to notice the shift in curation towards a much greater diversity of maths related channels. It's so exciting to log in and have my first thought be "Wow, these videos all look incredibly fascinating!" rather than "Who in their right mind would ever decide to watch this?"
It's wonderful seeing how well this competition achieved the goal of encouraging new maths exposition. My TH-cam suggestions have been full of it! The sheer quantity of such great work is unprecedented. Thanks for featuring my video.
I think something truly amazing about this whole thing that really should be mentioned is the fact that TH-cam recommended almost all of these videos to me, and the TH-cam algorithm rarely shows me so much content that I’m genuinely excited to watch. More events like this should be held, if not just for the side effect of TH-cam giving better recommendations.
That math playlist will make many of my weekends :) Thank you for your contribution to get math more appreciation and of course thanks to all the people who sent in submissions or helped with the SoME :)
What I find great is that I'd seen quite a few of these videos prior to your video. So obviously, what you're trying to achieve here is working. The Bezier curve video was definitely my favourite of them all. So beautiful and well explained.
I've never had youtube suggest so many good math videos to me as during the last few days/weeks (and i'm not even that into maths), so your contest definitely did something for math on youtube
As a viewer, I really really enjoyed watching some of these videos. Thanks to all of you involved for making this happen and enriching our lives with a love of maths!
So you're the reason why so many great math video's are popping up in my recomendations, I've even started a couple coding projects because of those video's, this contest was a great initiative and I hope people will keep trying to teach interesting math problems and concepts
By making this contest you've inadvertently created nearly infinite content for someone like me to binge on. I've been basically non stop learning new things and revisiting old topics that I never got a solid understanding of in my undergrad. I can appreciate how much effort it takes to create these sorts of high quality that are heavily researched, so this contest is a sort of outsourcing of that process. I am the benefactor and I feel so lucky to be able to learn about all of these topics in such an approachable and digestible form. Thank you 3b1b, and to the lovely maths community we have on TH-cam.
These are impressive. I am jealous of both the skills, knowledge, and the time they have to do all this. I am also grateful that they use that time to share them with us.
The TH-cam algorithm kindly suggested about 80% of the videos you've picked... it was fun to go through some of them. It was obvious people put a great deal of effort into phrasing their ideas/findings/topics in an "easy to digest" way. I enjoyed watching them and I'll definitely be going through that playlist you've prepared. All of the participants did an awesome job!
I am surprised at the amount of math videos that were contestants for this, that just appeared in my recommended, I have seen half of these videos without even knowing about this, Thanks for bringing out such an amazing math competition :)
This is so frickin awesome and I saw some a bunch of these videos not even knowing they were part of the challenge! I'm so glad Freya was in the top 5, she makes such cool videos!
how many of these videos independently picked up hundreds of thousands of views really demonstrates how much demand for this kind of content there is and by extension how much need there is to shift our approach of teaching math away from the usual approach in schools.
I hope you know just how much you’re revolutionizing math education. You’re making it accessible to people who would have no hope of understanding math (and now motivating others to do the same). This is the future of our society is going to more STEM demanding jobs. You’re doing the Lords work. -A humble HS math teacher

I think my favorite part of this contest has been seeing how much it's changed my recommended videos! For all the issues I have with the TH-cam algorithm, it really is amazing to notice the shift in curation towards a much greater diversity of maths related channels. It's so exciting to log in and have my first thought be "Wow, these videos all look incredibly fascinating!" rather than "Who in their right mind would ever decide to watch this?"
absolutely love that you did this contest.
It's wonderful seeing how well this competition achieved the goal of encouraging new maths exposition. My TH-cam suggestions have been full of it! The sheer quantity of such great work is unprecedented. Thanks for featuring my video.
Grant, you are wonderful human being
We are really lucky to have you
I think something truly amazing about this whole thing that really should be mentioned is the fact that TH-cam recommended almost all of these videos to me, and the TH-cam algorithm rarely shows me so much content that I’m genuinely excited to watch. More events like this should be held, if not just for the side effect of TH-cam giving better recommendations.
That math playlist will make many of my weekends :)
Thank you for your contribution to get math more appreciation and of course thanks to all the people who sent in submissions or helped with the SoME :)
What an absolutely awesome and worthwhile "contest" to hold, and congratulations to every single person who submitted a piece to it!
What I find great is that I'd seen quite a few of these videos prior to your video. So obviously, what you're trying to achieve here is working. The Bezier curve video was definitely my favourite of them all. So beautiful and well explained.
tysm for being such an inspiration to us all!
This is absolutely amazing initiative! Such a pleasure to read and watch these brilliant math pieces, thank you very much for your efforts!
I've never had youtube suggest so many good math videos to me as during the last few days/weeks (and i'm not even that into maths), so your contest definitely did something for math on youtube
As a viewer, I really really enjoyed watching some of these videos. Thanks to all of you involved for making this happen and enriching our lives with a love of maths!
So you're the reason why so many great math video's are popping up in my recomendations, I've even started a couple coding projects because of those video's, this contest was a great initiative and I hope people will keep trying to teach interesting math problems and concepts
Thanks for doing this contest. I’m definitely saving that playlist
By making this contest you've inadvertently created nearly infinite content for someone like me to binge on. I've been basically non stop learning new things and revisiting old topics that I never got a solid understanding of in my undergrad.
I can appreciate how much effort it takes to create these sorts of high quality that are heavily researched, so this contest is a sort of outsourcing of that process. I am the benefactor and I feel so lucky to be able to learn about all of these topics in such an approachable and digestible form. Thank you 3b1b, and to the lovely maths community we have on TH-cam.
2:30 I was going to ask you that question personally, Grant! I noticed it about a month ago. I’m so glad somebody tackled that.
I always enjoy watching your channel.

These are impressive. I am jealous of both the skills, knowledge, and the time they have to do all this. I am also grateful that they use that time to share them with us.
I love how much knowledge is shared these days
Your videos, among others, really have revolutionized the way math is taught!
Going to watch it all as an end month project and shine in November thanks to extra knowledge
Bedankt
The TH-cam algorithm kindly suggested about 80% of the videos you've picked... it was fun to go through some of them. It was obvious people put a great deal of effort into phrasing their ideas/findings/topics in an "easy to digest" way. I enjoyed watching them and I'll definitely be going through that playlist you've prepared. All of the participants did an awesome job!
I am surprised at the amount of math videos that were contestants for this, that just appeared in my recommended, I have seen half of these videos without even knowing about this, Thanks for bringing out such an amazing math competition :)
This is so frickin awesome and I saw some a bunch of these videos not even knowing they were part of the challenge!
I'm so glad Freya was in the top 5, she makes such cool videos!
Thank you so much for hosting this. It brought me onto so many new content creators and my watch later playlist is so full now! Please continue this
I think video projects like this matches the most optimistic visions the founders of the internet had. Thank you
Thank you so much for organizing and facilitating this and thank you so much to all the participants! Wonderful content to enjoy and share.
how many of these videos independently picked up hundreds of thousands of views really demonstrates how much demand for this kind of content there is and by extension how much need there is to shift our approach of teaching math away from the usual approach in schools.
I hope you know just how much you’re revolutionizing math education. You’re making it accessible to people who would have no hope of understanding math (and now motivating others to do the same). This is the future of our society is going to more STEM demanding jobs. You’re doing the Lords work.

You’re even making ideas intuitive to me that wasn’t while I was getting my math degree.
