I plan to make lecture videos on my textbooks, starting with my Proofs one, which I’ll post to YouTube. If you have any thoughts or suggestions on any part of this project, let me know! Could be content, style, logistics, presentation, recording tools, editing software, etc

@LongFormMath Put memes?

@LongFormMath Please favor a heavy focus on examples. If you really want to set yourself apart from other mathematicians, distance yourself from the ego-traps others can't resist falling into. Stay out of the ivory tower and write for the common man. Don't ever use the word trivial

@LongFormMath Would love to see short, focused videos (10–15 min) per concept with emphasis on proof intuition, common mistakes and a few solved exercises. A clean digital whiteboard format (like tablet writing) with good audio would be perfect!

@LongFormMath The 3blue1brown math animation package Manim is very easy to use it you know a bit of Python (AI tools are very good at making examples these days; you can usually get a good starting point then modify). Here's a live coding session I recorded youtu.be/9d_G-zN8FLs

@LongFormMath This is a little outdated, but I made a little walkthrough of my math lecture workflow. I use Blender, which is free and really powerful. There's a learning curve, but I think its an optimizer for power and pragmatism: youtu.be/6meTyqRsww0?si…

@LongFormMath i love this style, it takes lots of effort but this channel's work is very beautiful youtube.com/@Aleph0

@LongFormMath Use old fashion real chalk board

@LongFormMath Animation with something like Manim for visual learners and solution to some of the exercises.

@LongFormMath The hard part is actually doing the recording and editing. Equipment/software depends on your budget and what you currently have. Happy to advise, I'm pretty bad with generic suggestions.

@LongFormMath Before starting the project, to get a better feel of the technology, work flow and time required, produce an one hour presentation and upload to YouTube with the quality you aim to. You will realize that the process is really time consuming if you work only by yourself.

@LongFormMath Probably was suggested by others too, but animating via manim should be really great. A la 3b1b videos

@LongFormMath Would love to hear about the creative aspect of proof writing, how you come up with the piece that solves (early) proofs

@LongFormMath Use manim if that’s not a new thing to learn for you. Do check if llms can generate functional code for that

@LongFormMath “No one notices good audio, but everyone notices bad audio.” Can’t remember where I heard that, but it’s so true. Best wishes for this project! I’m knee-deep in your Math History book and loving every minute of it. Outstanding work, as always!

@LongFormMath That's amazing. Can you do a video on algebra because I always struggles with understand it.

@LongFormMath Thanks

@LongFormMath I hope there will be as many memes in the videos as there are in books!

@LongFormMath Asking for a friend, what might be the audience and what if any background work might they need?

@LongFormMath Thank you, Prof!

@LongFormMath Document camera suggestion: @Epson DC13. I love that I can fit a full sized picture book underneath. Also on the panel, the up/down/left/ right arrows are great for moving down a zoomed in section, like moving down the page without needing to move the book or document.

@LongFormMath @BradyHaran this could be fun!

@LongFormMath Short videos to motivate watching a large playlist. 15 minutes each tops

@LongFormMath ping Matt Parker, 3Blue1Brown and Numberphile. I think they will surely help for tips and maybe make a collaboration.

@LongFormMath Looking forward to them.

@LongFormMath Brilliant idea. I will subscribe.

@LongFormMath Please don’t optimise before it starts, just go with the flow. :)

@LongFormMath Of course 🧿❤

@LongFormMath 😚
