Every Important Math Constant Explained

Just a quick error on your side regarding “e” : the number wasn’t actually named after Euler, it just so happened that he was working on several different numbers at that time and named them “a”, “b”, and so on. The fact that the only number that ended up mattering was named “e” is purely coincidental.

bro said Rayman instead of Riemann

My favourite constant is 1

Aleph null ^ Aleph null is not equal to Aleph null. Aleph null ^ n = Aleph null where n is finite, but putting Aleph null as an exponent results in a larger infinity. Even 2 ^ Aleph null > Aleph null.

The fact he pronounces Pythagoras in multiple ways and doesn't get it right in any way is humorous

Aleph null to the power of aleph null is continuum. (10:43)

Please never pronounce Pythagoras that way again

i ≠ √(-1) because the square root function is not defined over the negative number. However, i² = -1, but also (-i)² = -1.

Thanks for this informative video. Unfortunately, you give the impression that the Ancient Greeks chose the name π for π when in actual fact it was the Welsh mathematician William Jones in 1706, so its use is actually relatively recent.

aleph_0^aleph_0 is not aleph_0. It's the same as 2^aleph_0, in particular uncountable.

1:50 Most insane pronunciation of Pythagoras I've ever heard.

Every physics constant? Or would that take too long

It feels like 0 is placed strangely late into the video. I'd have thought it'd be one of the first constants you mentioned. Also, I can't believe the number 1 didn't get a section. By the way, I wish you'd have given τ (tau) a mention. I mean, Tau Day was only a few days ago, after all. (For those of you who don't know, the number τ is defined as the ratio of a circle's circumference to its radius, equal to 2π and approximately 6.28. The use of τ clarifies radian angle measurements; for example, 1/4 turn = τ/4 rad, 1/6 turn = τ/6 rad, and so on.)

This video was actually cool, I learnt a lot, you’re videos in general are interesting

I didn't know that the square root of every non perfect square is irrational. That's absolutely wild.
