Man 3B1B is fantastic. I don’t think I’ve ever seen so much great math explained so clearly and beautifully as in his videos. Keep up the good work!

A trick for visualizing higher dimensions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwAD6dRSVyI

Real Engineering is another great channel. And of course Veritasium and Numberphile.
That's a cool video, I'm subscribing. It's surprising that the embedded sphere has an unbounded radius. He didn't mention in the video that this problem is due to, and is a sort of dual or inverse to the fact that the volume of an N-dimensional sphere goes to zero as N goes to infinity. That hurt my head a little the first time I learned about it!
He did a lot of the lectures for this course, with 3d visuals of course.
It's him that made me understand linear algebra. College? No fucking clue what a matrix was. Now? a clear, intuitive understanding. I'm still struggling with concepts like trace, but he provided a base from which to I'm able to climb myself.
