> I would compare him to what threeblueonebrown is for math

Never heard of that person, but I'm intrigued. Are they better than Sal Khan?

IIRC Grant formerly made videos for Khan Academy, and thus uses the same virtual-blackboard as Sal. However, Grant animates with a Python lib whereas Sal draws by hand.

Well, the best answer is to check for yourself! Here's his series of linear algebra videos for example:

Absolutely. Khan Academy teaches unconnected facts in the way that US schools operate, but 3blue1brown aims for understanding.

On one hand I agree- the big picture stuff is better with 2blue1brown. On the other hand, as far as doing the actual exercises that make me better at solving problems, Kahn felt a lot better.

I personally value being able to solve random problems better, as it makes me feel like I know the material better when I can apply it, but I think rational folks could disagree.
