PickVidsBest Math & theory (other) Videos
The 8 Math & theory (other) videos here were recommended by different people across different months. Choose by who it is for: 2 introductory, 2 intermediate, 3 for a general viewer, and 1 for someone who wants the harder derivation. Most of them are a lecture. What they share is that a derivation is walked through at classroom pace instead of a conclusion being dropped. Channels you will keep seeing include Insights into Mathematics, Steve Brunton, Stanford.
