Alan Becker is a master storyteller on this platform and his animations never fail to astound the viewer. As you can see, this video is no different and is definitely one of his most creative works. Not sure if the rest of his content would be applicable to your expertise though, since the two main series on his channel are Animator vs. Animation and Animation vs. Minecraft. Anyway, I loved to have heard what you thought about this one. Great reaction!
I just want to correct a misunderstanding, Animation vs Math's story and mathematical stuff written by Terkoiz, he is the lead animator of Alan Becker. Alan Becker himself mentioned the idea of that animation comes from him.
@@gorgun08fun fact: it was said that around 1899 Hitler was bipolar. But he later changed to transgender around 1909. But decided to change it to straight around 1918 because he saw a classified "shawty".
it's amazing to see how an animation about math got the attention of so many people, from math nerds to teachers to professors and now a literal Nuclear Engineer, OMG
You are the only person i have seen this far who actually understands the content of this video. I had to watch some instructionals and do some research to figure even half of this stuff out. I agree that content like this would greatly increase interest in mathematics. It drew my interest, and im way out of school.
This is the only guy I've seen so far who immediately notices some things like the circle blast being multivariable (which is why it breaks the integral) and "e×iτ" meaning "exit" as he watches it
I'm not too satisfied when he sees TSC playing with the dot to form the complex plane and the unit circle, he says that it is cartesian and polar coordinates
@DatBoi_TheGudBIAS I could be wrong on this, but when TSC (the stickman) shot the circle with the infinity function the circle increased in dimensions by 1 for each shot ending at 4 dimensions
@@DatBoi_TheGudBIAS TSC applied the two Wave Hammers to the Tangent gun. This applied a perpendicular rotation to the Tangent waves, creating a spiral function that the Integral, being only over a single variable, couldn't absorb.
This is the reaction what I want like Experts, Professors, Nuclear Engineers compared to other reactions that are not accurate. We know that there's so many reactions out there
Did you notice that the function gun (that takes literal bullets as input) was briefly shown as a tangent function? That is why it shoots out tangent plots. And when it was caught by the Transformer, it turned into an integral symbol because the shape is similar.
Having the 'antagonist' be e^iπ is such a great idea because its something that you can run into so easily which is very alien and doesnt make sense. And in the beginning when all you have is addition and subtraction it easily eludes you
Really enjoyed this reaction! I knew some of the things that were happening with the complex numbers but it was really fun getting the more complex (pun not intended) parts explained. Your reaction to e^iπ sending Orange home made me laugh really hard, especially since you asked whether the entire animation was gonna prove e^iπ=-1 at 9:22 🤣
Times sure have changed. I learned to do math with a slide rule and thought the TI-30 calculator was the best thing since sliced bread. It made things like the Six-Factor Formula a breeze.
See, I've always actually enjoyed math *_itself._* The problems I've had with math *_class_* is the way that the American Board of Education believes math should be *_learned._* Math has always been about using logic to find answers & solve problems. And translating that knowledge into real life situations is why it's a useful skill. But the way that math class works is that it goes through all of the MANY things of math at a very slow rate & you are punished for attempting to solve a given problem outside of the *_intended_* equation. Regardless of whether you found the *_correct answer,_* if you failed to solve the problem the way you're *_TOLD_* to. And that's not really what math is about. Math is about questioning what we know as factual & searching for new ways to solve the same problems. It's *_MEANT_* to make you get creative.
I saw another "breakdown" video where they explained that the entire video is basically just a ride through the history of math, how every new "invention" or conclusion just again and again shattered everything that was there before which lead to a mathimatical crysis and so on And that this video basically just represented the fight between all mathematicians or so.
Genuinely I can't stop binging your videos. You are so engaging and I always leave knowing I learned even a little more from watching you. You are so so entertaining and funny, as well as being informational on some misunderstood or underappreciated topics. Your videos always brighten my day and I just wanted to say a huge thank you for creating content that so many people enjoy
@@tfolsenuclearYou really are super entertaining to watch, no boring reactions or pauses (not like thats a bad thing sometimes) but EVERY one of your video’s don’t have a boring reaction. You are genuinely super fun to watch and the jokes are funny as well, Wish you got more attention… keep doing what you’re doing!!!
The reason I feel mathematicians like to put the 1 and 0 in Euler's Identity is that it preserves the theme you go through proving that: you basically combine arithmetic, algebra, trigonometry and calculus in a way which shows you how all of those things you've probably been studying separately in their own classes are in fact all deeply interconnected. Zero was as important a concept in the development of mathematics as 1, and so it's aesthetically pleasing when you already have pi, i, and e in the equation to add in both 1 and 0 to represent additional parts of all those steps that led to Euler's Identity as a thing we've proven and accept. (Personally, I prefer writing it as "+ 0 = -1".)
Nice take. Also I don't think it was just Euler with his identity that showcases this. Slightly different topic yet Boolean Algebra based on Logic shows the importance of both 0 and 1 being equally important as to the fundamental core foundation of a two state system. Well, it doesn't have to be exactly 0 and 1, it can be true and false, on and off, etc... Yet the concept of how equally important opposites are in order to even have a 2 state system in the first place is one of the bigger takeaways. Now, I'm not claiming that Boole himself has made this kind of deduction or not, I'm just stating this from my own perspective and intuition. This opposition is very straight forward from a basic mathematical perspective, except that in this context it's the opposition of 1 and -1 both being on the same line (180 degrees or PI radians) where they are both represented as a vector , . Here their magnitudes or lengths are the same, but their directions are opposing. And if we take the dot product of these two it returns a result of -1. And if we take the arccos of -1 we get π radians. And exactly in the middle of 1 and -1 is of course 0. This is one of the many reasons I love math! So even Boolean Algebra has an unseen connection to other fields of mathematics including Euler's Identity. To extend this even a bit farther, one could start to go down the path of Lambda Calculus.
In my high school philosophy class, the teacher put 1+1 up on the board and asked the class what does it equal? Everyone kept saying 2, but the teacher believed the result to be different. He said that 1+1 = 1+1 and reminded us that we need to think outside the box when studying organized systems of thought. He never asked for a math solution to his equation only that we understood the true meaning of "equal".
As a graphics designer, 1 + 1 = 1. When 1 shape or color, meshes/combines with another, they make 1 design. Sure, it's different, but that's the thing. It's a singular design.
I think you could understand it in a way that 1+1=2. Do 1+1 and 2 look the same? No. Do they sound the same? no. Are they equal? yes! So even though some people look and sound differently, we're all equal!
2:00 and to extend the list, for a programmer 1 + 1 is 11 because one was a string and the other one got transformed to one and suddenly we went from numbers to text. at least as a web dev, javascript is so fun with automatically redefining value as necessary to keep going at all cost XD
Something I've noticed a lot of people not quite catching is how when he tries to divide by 0, the music in the back starts to intensify as the division keeps happening, until it abruptly stops when he changes the division sign. It's just a funny bit of tension, because everybody knows that dividing by 0 is never a good thing, & the music starting to become more intense by the second was building up that *_SOMETHING_* bad was gonna happen lol.
The music is what makes this so interesting and hooking because it’s one that you would hear if a character was figuring out some important things and details for their plot
My favorite part of the video that most dont notice is that the "bow" the stickfigure made was an equation, it was "2 x 2 = " he would pull the multiplication sign through the equal sign and when released it created a 4.
e^(i*pi) + 1 = 0 exists, rather than using e^(i*pi) = -1, because we like using the identity values, 0 for additive, 1 for multiplicative. This whole process is used (with a lot less gusto) in Abstract Algebra, usually a junior-level math-majors' class.
It looks like the division with the minus and the colon, ÷, means "the number of times you need to subtract the denominator from the numerator to cancel out the numerator", the literal inverse of multiplication. So 6 ÷ 0 kept going and going. It was so cool to learn that from the animation video.
That section demonstrates the naive approach to long multiplication and division, which was in common use with mechanical calculators and CPUs lacking dedicated MUL and DIV hardware
I stopped paying attention to the math portion of the video when pie came in. I aint got enough brainpower to process what's happening in the video so to have u explain the math jokes for me and everyone else is fricking awesome. Amazing video.
15:31 -- "Uh-oh, that integral goes from zero to infinity. A regular infinity can't counter that, he's gonna need something bigger." This, right here... things like this are why it's fun to see someone watching the video who knows about the math going on
This needs to be a video game! Think of how good kids would get at math if they played this and had fun and had to learn new weapons which were unlocked with new math.
Combining math together to create new weapons would be a killer feature in a game designed to teach math. That should be a thing honestly. I'd play that and I don't go to school anymore 😅
Oh thank GOD! I was waiting for a reaction video from someone who understood the math to a decent degree. You wouldn't believe how many videos I had to go through that was just people not really getting what was happening past the multiplication part, or exponents if I was lucky.
i think the biggest helper is that there is always an equal sign. Which means the crazy stuff happening on the left side is always equal to a concrete number on the right side. Where i believe many people are misunderstanding and thinks left sides leads to becoming the answer on the right side.
You should watch the explanation too, it goes into the history of everything the stickman discovered along with a bunch of equations used. A dude usernamed "Python with Prosper," I loved their video too.
As a Mech Engineer, agree. I honestly struggled in Diff Eq's until I took Auto Feedback control, and understood the application of differential equations.
13:48 "This is what a math test should be like. Can you survive the onslaught of negative ones?" .....Someone please make this happen. How many more people would actually be invested in learning how to apply mathematical principles, equations and formulas if tests and classes were like this.
I genuinely can't get tired of watching professionals react to this animation even after it's already been out for 4 months, something about people who knows a lot about math pointing out all the little details or references in a silly animation is so fun to watch
I’m the person who loves the concept of math but hated doing it bc it was hard to understand; I wish I saw this video in high school so that I could’ve actually saw and learned what I was doing. Your reaction really helped as well as you went over little Easter eggs that I missed or didn’t understand first watch!!
One of my favorite parts within the video is when the stick figure discovers division. His progression through that scene when he triggers division by 0 for me is a very accurate and true version of division by 0. We are all taught that it's undefined and that it's an error and that it can not be done. Yet this animation shows that division by 0 is infinite recursion without a terminal or exit case based on the fact that division is an extension of repeated subtraction. For me this was one of my favorite scenes. There are other worthy mentions too. For example when the stick figure is shooting 4 at the e term. He blocks it and the exponent of i*pi becomes divisible by 4 so e^(i*pi) consumed the 4 and through basic transformation it became e^( (i*pi)/4 ) and it rotated by exactly 45 degrees or PI/4 radians. Also when the e^(i*p) term started to fight back with it's weapon of summation of an infinite series... it's just great. Then when the stick figure discovers the imaginary numbers and the complex plain and constructed the unit circle... The entire story or video just progressively became or epic. Then in the final scene when they started to work together and e performs a transformation on the stick figure to a different manifold or dimension, the other symbols come out and join e and in the background there's Aleph towering over all of them marching along. This really show cased the comparison of different infinities especially within group or set theory. Yeah this video is definitely a gem!
@@DatBoi_TheGudBIAS Yes. It's actually this letter: א Unfortunately, I know little about the orders of infinity - my knowledge of math is more applicable and ends at physics equations.
@@DatBoi_TheGudBIAS I also learned that there are apparently 3 sigmas, cant type them on my iphone but I do know one of the sigmas are used if that sigma is at the end of a word.
He has all maths without demonstrations. A system like this would be a cool confirmation of our thesis or answer to our questions. Btw the author of the animation could have shown little démonstrations maybe
You are the first person reacting to this video that seemed to actually get all (or at least most of) the references in that video. I just watched a mathematics professor watching it and it seemed like a lot of the references just went right past him.
This animation is so overwhelmingly awesome, IT'S CRAZY. I love how you were excited already even when it was just adding numbers and I was like: "Oh, you like that? Wait till you see the rest!"
I like to imagine the stickman in this context is a kid growing up as they wonders what is e^iπ that pops up everywhere while they are learning math, thus chasing the e^iπ. but in the end, when the stickman finally gets it they became friends, while more of interesting concepts await for the stickman.
If I were a mathematics professor, and I am not, I would create a math course that teaches all the knowledge required to understand this video. I would show this video at the start, and ask students to explain what is going on to the best of their abilities. I would do this because I want them to remember feeling clueless. I would then mention that by the end of this class, you will be able to understand everything this video covers... And let's start. I am not a professor of mathematics though, so I'm leaving this here for those of you that are. - Create the end goal - Create an emotional anchor showing each student where they are - Reference past emotional anchor at the end of the course to show them how far they've come
I think the big thing at the end is supposed to be aleph nul, another way of saying infinity. You can go past infinity in the ordinal space with omega.
@alanbecker, it is actually great to add a little bit more about infinity, either as you included the square. There must be super big number out there that is another type of timeline to explain.
Sir, you're the first one that i know that got the exit joke around the end, nice o7 it felt so great tho, after like 5~8 reaction videos, someone finally got it. YES!
What a beautifull message. I feel like the sword fitgh illustrate the fact that we exisit in several dimension, and we are fighting against our equivalence. Euler character, with the negative sword was equivalent to the main character with the positive sword, only if the main character identify himself as "one".
If I had been shown this as a kid, my whole LIFE would have been so different!! I didn't care for math and because i didn't try to understand it. This was Staggering and Awe inspiring. My foundation has been shattered and reforged. I feel remorse for the world I denied willingly. Sorry, I feel emotional. =)
Ok, that's definetly a story about our conscoius and unconscious part. between counsciousness and ego. Both same, in a diferent dimension. Love the part where the counsciouness use infinity to distroy ego armor. (Noticed that the ego just multiplied itself to build up his armor) . As soon as the consciouness enter the imaginary world of the ego, everything breaked down (Like when you open your eye on a truth, suddenly all your perspective on a situation fall appart, you cannot deny anymore). Like how the consciousness saved the ego from his own imaginary world. To finish, the importance of the dot, the singularity, the unified field , source of infinity. Beautyful story. Thank you

You should watch the explanation too, it goes into the history of everything the stickman discovered along with a bunch of equations used. A dude usernamed "Python with Prosper," I loved their video too.
4:55 I'm impressed that you got that the first time. It wasn't until my 3rd time seeing this that I noticed that detail.
As a Mech Engineer, agree. I honestly struggled in Diff Eq's until I took Auto Feedback control, and understood the application of differential equations.
This is exactly how i visualize Math. I dont like the way it gets taught because the visual simplicity just speaks for itself. Its beautiful
13:48 "This is what a math test should be like. Can you survive the onslaught of negative ones?"
.....Someone please make this happen. How many more people would actually be invested in learning how to apply mathematical principles, equations and formulas if tests and classes were like this.
Alan Becker is REALLY good at animating and storybuilding, so its no suprise that you enjoyed it. Great reaction!
Thanks so much!
Awesome video, found this channel a few days ago and binged all the videos, keep it up man! (:
Welcome aboard!
FINALLY A PROPER REACTION WHO KNOWS MATHS
Interesting how my dad has been a nuclear engineer for about fifteen years, never would have thought he knew all this maths.
I genuinely can't get tired of watching professionals react to this animation even after it's already been out for 4 months, something about people who knows a lot about math pointing out all the little details or references in a silly animation is so fun to watch
This part right here. 6:45 . Orange is making "Dimensions" by adding +1 to the formula. Which make from 1D, 2D, 3D, 4D and 5D
This is the first reaction video I've watched where I don't skip the parts where he explains the stuff it was so interesting
Alan Becker is the key to boring math subject, making it fun
I’m the person who loves the concept of math but hated doing it bc it was hard to understand; I wish I saw this video in high school so that I could’ve actually saw and learned what I was doing. Your reaction really helped as well as you went over little Easter eggs that I missed or didn’t understand first watch!!
One of my favorite parts within the video is when the stick figure discovers division. His progression through that scene when he triggers division by 0 for me is a very accurate and true version of division by 0. We are all taught that it's undefined and that it's an error and that it can not be done. Yet this animation shows that division by 0 is infinite recursion without a terminal or exit case based on the fact that division is an extension of repeated subtraction. For me this was one of my favorite scenes. There are other worthy mentions too. For example when the stick figure is shooting 4 at the e term. He blocks it and the exponent of i*pi becomes divisible by 4 so e^(i*pi) consumed the 4 and through basic transformation it became e^( (i*pi)/4 ) and it rotated by exactly 45 degrees or PI/4 radians. Also when the e^(i*p) term started to fight back with it's weapon of summation of an infinite series... it's just great. Then when the stick figure discovers the imaginary numbers and the complex plain and constructed the unit circle... The entire story or video just progressively became or epic. Then in the final scene when they started to work together and e performs a transformation on the stick figure to a different manifold or dimension, the other symbols come out and join e and in the background there's Aleph towering over all of them marching along. This really show cased the comparison of different infinities especially within group or set theory. Yeah this video is definitely a gem!
In case you missed it, at 19:55 in the background there is stomping. It is Alef, the smallest countable infinity.
The big ass N?
@@DatBoi_TheGudBIAS Yes. It's actually this letter:
א
Unfortunately, I know little about the orders of infinity - my knowledge of math is more applicable and ends at physics equations.
@@DatBoi_TheGudBIAS Fun fact: That character, according to the Hebrew alphabet (where that letter originated from) is actually transliterated as "A"
@@Conveex ye, they tend to mean the first letter of their name.
Same with Greek letters
Π pi for P (product in math)
Σ sigma for S (sum in math)
@@DatBoi_TheGudBIAS I also learned that there are apparently 3 sigmas, cant type them on my iphone but I do know one of the sigmas are used if that sigma is at the end of a word.
My math teacher for algebra 1 showed us this and it made so much more sense.
I always love seeing friendly people making jokes and having fun reacting to other videos on TH-cam. You sir, are a gem.
He has all maths without demonstrations. A system like this would be a cool confirmation of our thesis or answer to our questions. Btw the author of the animation could have shown little démonstrations maybe
You are the first person reacting to this video that seemed to actually get all (or at least most of) the references in that video. I just watched a mathematics professor watching it and it seemed like a lot of the references just went right past him.
This animation is so overwhelmingly awesome, IT'S CRAZY. I love how you were excited already even when it was just adding numbers and I was like: "Oh, you like that? Wait till you see the rest!"
I like to imagine the stickman in this context is a kid growing up as they wonders what is e^iπ that pops up everywhere while they are learning math, thus chasing the e^iπ. but in the end, when the stickman finally gets it they became friends, while more of interesting concepts await for the stickman.
I absolutely love watching reactions to this frompeople who can actually understand the numbers.
The Alan Becker math video is my favorite video that has ever been posted
If I were a mathematics professor, and I am not, I would create a math course that teaches all the knowledge required to understand this video. I would show this video at the start, and ask students to explain what is going on to the best of their abilities. I would do this because I want them to remember feeling clueless. I would then mention that by the end of this class, you will be able to understand everything this video covers... And let's start.
I am not a professor of mathematics though, so I'm leaving this here for those of you that are.
- Create the end goal
- Create an emotional anchor showing each student where they are
- Reference past emotional anchor at the end of the course to show them how far they've come
This part of mathematics is 80% to the hardest part in engineering.
This part of mathematics is the hardest part of
I love how reactions to Animation vs Math turned from regular people to students to math professors to nuclear engineers.
Finally a reaction channel that actually talks about stuff instead of repeating what happened
This was great. You just earned yourself a new subscriber!
I am glad to have sert this animation right as I restart my road through mathmatics, it really is cool.
"1+1=3, for especially large values of 1."
As a primary school student.This was like a war
I love tsc (the second coming is the stick orange) just laying down thats cute
I think the big thing at the end is supposed to be aleph nul, another way of saying infinity.
You can go past infinity in the ordinal space with omega.
@alanbecker, it is actually great to add a little bit more about infinity, either as you included the square. There must be super big number out there that is another type of timeline to explain.
That formlua on e, i, and phi, are probably one of the most beautiful in math. In the last part it became gamma function, really interesting video
13:50
right.... time to bring out the tri-gun-ometry.
Sir, you're the first one that i know that got the exit joke around the end, nice o7
it felt so great tho, after like 5~8 reaction videos, someone finally got it. YES!
Haha, thanks!!
What a beautifull message. I feel like the sword fitgh illustrate the fact that we exisit in several dimension, and we are fighting against our equivalence. Euler character, with the negative sword was equivalent to the main character with the positive sword, only if the main character identify himself as "one".
Its funny how this taught me more math than my teachers for the past 8 years.
very cool this channel is extremely cool and this channel deserves more subscribers
Thanks! glad you like it!
If I had been shown this as a kid, my whole LIFE would have been so different!! I didn't care for math and because i didn't try to understand it. This was Staggering and Awe inspiring. My foundation has been shattered and reforged. I feel remorse for the world I denied willingly. Sorry, I feel emotional. =)
I'm certain this is the only time every person can agree this version of math is cool, only to be disappointed in actually trying to learn/do it.
I'm not a math expert but those jokes get into my head and like the reason why it's funny just dashes through my head
"It's alive. It's probably irrational"
Yeah, that was one of the greatest moments. It really was an irrational number
Great to see someone that knows the maths react to this animation
Thank you for explaining all the fun details about this video. I thought it was good, but you've made me appreciate it even more!
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
Dang Learned a lot today thank you:D
This literally taught me more than my math class
i like how the area of e to its exponential is the light shadow curve made by pi of the large circle at 17:09
I love how aleph leaves the screen at the end.
"Surprised it didn't cause some sort of black hole or something like that."
You know, if TSC hadn't edited the sign, it might have
I wish math was like this, you enter a digital realm where everything unfolds as you place it
Saying that i havent taken calculus since high school i needed the review. Especially at the end, got too crazy and fast i couldnt keep up!😂
Not only did i learn a bit about being a nuclear engineer i also learnt more mathematic equations 😄
I will LOVE some one to make a fighting game based on math like in this video
Ok, that's definetly a story about our conscoius and unconscious part. between counsciousness and ego. Both same, in a diferent dimension. Love the part where the counsciouness use infinity to distroy ego armor. (Noticed that the ego just multiplied itself to build up his armor) . As soon as the consciouness enter the imaginary world of the ego, everything breaked down (Like when you open your eye on a truth, suddenly all your perspective on a situation fall appart, you cannot deny anymore). Like how the consciousness saved the ego from his own imaginary world. To finish, the importance of the dot, the singularity, the unified field , source of infinity. Beautyful story. Thank you
i read the title as nuclear engine reacts to animation vs. math
They just uploaded an "Animation vs Physics" video an hour ago!
A series about him would be cool. ( Minecraft nuclear mod)
