Prince Rupert's cube

I wish more of mathematics was visual. That's the mode of thinking I employ the most, and I excel at spatial problems.

I wish higher level mathematics and physics paid more attention to the use of visual schematics and diagrams. So much can be communicated with them. Words often pale in comparison.

I would like to recommend the 3b1b's[1] YouTube channel.

His procedurally generated videos really make you think of certain math that looked unintuitive or hard to explain in a truly intuitive, visual way.

His series on linear algebra was very eye opening to me, as well as many of his videos about subjects I was initially failing to understand.
