"Mathematics as an expression of the human mind reflects the active will, the contemplative reason, and the desire for aesthetic perfection. Its basic elements are logic and intuition, analysis and construction, generality and individuality."

MATH EPIPHANIES

On this page, you will be exposed to Math jokes, "magic", realizations, trolls, videos... AND MUCH, MUCH MORE!

"New Math" by Tom Lehrer

A hilarious, satirical song that begins at 1:15 minute mark of the video below. The exposition to the video is still pretty funny as well. The video hits at subtraction in base 10 and 8. This video was viewed in one of our meetings upon the recommendation of Solomon Dworkin (Y1). We really enjoyed it!!

"What was up with Pythagoras" - Vihart

Check out Vihart, an amazing artist and mathematician. You have to see this video regarding Pythagoras and his fear of BEANS!!

"The Case of the Missing Fractals" - TED-Ed

This is a fantastic video that I will not ruin for you by telling you what it's about. Watch it for yourself!!
 

"When not knowing Math can cost you $15,000" - Math Clip's Channel

I think that the title says it all. This is a clip from a "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" episode. You may ask how is learning square roots and math going to help me in the future. Well, this guy (and the audience!) would have needed some math. Poor guy lost $15,000!! Stay in school kids!
