Numberphile: YouTube channel
Numberphile is an educational YouTube channel with videos that explore topics from different areas of mathematics. In addition to videos that focus on a specific number, you will find many videos about more advanced mathematical concepts such as Fermat's Last Theorem, the Riemann Hypothesis and Kruskal's Tree Theorem.
The videos were produced by Brady Haran, a former BBC video journalist and creator of Periodic Videos, Sixty Symbols and several other YouTube channels. Videos on the channel feature various college professors, math communicators, and famous mathematicians.
Most videos consist of an interview by Haran with an expert on a number, mathematical theorem or other mathematical concept. The expert tries to make the concepts understandable to the average, non-mathematical viewer. The channel is supported by the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute (MSRI) and Math for America. Haran also runs the Numberphile2 channel , which features additional footage and more detail than the main channel.
