A number of people have asked if we'll do this again next year. I'm hesitant to make any promises, but we're definitely leaning towards doing so. There's no small amount of work involved, especially given that there are certain things we might want to do more deliberately if we did a SoME2. Stay tuned!
Although my video didn't enter the finalist, this event (SoME1) initiated my own math channel. That is the most important thing :) Thank you and look forward to SoME2 ! 😉✨🎉
I know math is the main subject of your channel, but it would be cool to extend the idea to other fields of study. Thank you for making this and everyone who organized and made videos for SoME, I learned a lot!
Isn't uniformly choosing a random point in a circle (or in any geometric space > 0D) an impossible task without discretising it? (At least in a limited amount of time?)
Yes please looking forward for SoME2. I missed out this year unfortunately (personal reasons) but I have a couple of cool maths ideas I'd like to share with people
i loved the some1 videos
Funny how the youtube algorithm already boosted some of the higher quality submissions
For all the hate people like to give it, there really is quite a lot of good coming out of that algorithm.
the problem with it is less bad if you're better at getting bored of non-educational videos than you are with educational ones. unfortunately you need to know which is which. and unless you go looking you won't get shown how much more it could be showing you
@@3blue1brown i think the algorithm is one of the few things that people actually people praise KZhead for. It's all the monetization things that is so bad.
I wouldn't trust the algorithm to know the difference between quantity and quality
@@phitsf5475 in this case at least, they're probably correlated
dude i loved how many cool new math people popping up because of this content, i really hope this continues
I know right? Can't wait to watch them all
fancy seeing you over here ganer
It'll make mathmatics easier to understand
Ganer! 😂
I mean, it's pretty cool that lots of people made videos for this. But for many of them, these are their *only* videos. Most people are unlikely to subscribe to somebody who makes 1 good video, hoping for more, so many of these folks will just disappear again. Come to think of it, I haven't been watching 3b1b from the start. I think maybe I started watching his stuff after he'd been at it for a year and had over a dozen videos (during the linear algebra series, probably, or maybe the calculus series).
Everybody was commenting "we want more 3blue1brown videos" but what they actually wanted was high quality thought out math videos. So in a sense Mr.Sanderson delivered fully by helping out the community and provided us with hours of new videos to watch. Brilliant I might say.
I love how noticeable the effects of this contest were, suddenly my KZhead-recommendations were filled with interesting math videos. I really hope this happens again next year.
It is truly amazing to see the incredibly breadth and diversity of both math and mathematicians who have taking part in SoME. Congrats to everyone, and in particular the winners!
amazing
so many good videos!
you're videos are very good and helpful
You saved my life during my discrete math course, your amazing man keep it up!
Ok
I love how Dr. Zye was like: this video is so long it wouldn't even qualify for the SoME. and here he is part of the top 5 winners :))
I am dancing
@@DrZye HOYL crap it's you!!
@@DrZye much congrats!!
@@DrZye OMGggg
@@DrZye i watched your video after it was recommended to me a while ago, seeing it as a winner is nice
Hi everyone! I made the video "The Tale of Three Triangles" which showed up at the end. This was such a fun competition, and it really motivated me to take my work to the next level. Thanks to Grant, James, the guest judges (especially Tai-Danae Bradley, who's a huge inspiration), and all the peer judges. This was the highlight of my summer and I'm so happy that people enjoyed my work. I loved all the other entries (especially the light-flicking puzzle) and it was great to have more math to watch.
Thanks for contributing. Its amazing to see people contribute and make youtube more educational.
Earth needs more people like you!
Good work, great explanation. Keep it up 👍
You're one of the most underrated channels I've ever seen
Thanks for making such great content!
So many submissions are so wonderful. They kept showing up in my recommended and it was probably the best recommended YT-video loop that I've fallen into so far.
So true!
so true indeed
Dich findet man auch über all wo Mathe ist!
@@ichhalt7190 haha xD ich studiere es jetzt. Ich liebe Mathe einfach so sehr!
Help me out! Which is the word2vec vid at 1:22?
Congratulations everyone! And really glad that the KZhead algorithm seems to be (finally) doing its job to recommend good math videos!
I love your videos
I think that having so many published at one time with an expectant audience really helped push a lot of the submissions through the algorithm
♡ for you
Your video about the volume of paraboloid should be on the list!!!
its not youtubes fault. the reason the algorithm seems to be doing a better job is because there is suddenly a LOT more math videos for the algorithm to work on. and a lot of them are really good too. so it seems to finally be doing its job, but the reason is because it has stuff to work with
the fact that that cat thing appears 3D is really surprising. I thought it would only work from one angle.
Its like a hologram! I wonder how it works, I should really watch the video haha
It probably wouldn't work with a single light source? But multiple might work?
So, I didn't know about the "contest" before now, but I've seen *so many* of the mentioned videos on my youtube stream recently. Thank you for inspiring people to create these
Yes, I found the videos before I knew about the contest
i was going to participate in the contest but i didn't, I was so suprise to see that I have already watched many of the videos shown! Thats why there was so many AMAZING new math videos on my fee! Thanks for the contest!
I hope this can be a yearly event. I think it’d be inspiring to see the community evolves, and also would give a lot of people drive to keep creating and exploring. I absolutely loved exploring all of the entries and it left me wanting to see more.
My 8th grade chem teacher once mentioned that the weird clouds electron orbits form is due to higher dimentional geometry which was why the video on how how 4d points map onto a 3d shadow was really intersting.
Got any additional resources on this? I tried to do a deep dive on it years ago and turned up jack.
@@whakmi yeah I want to know too
Oh *that’s* why they make those shape!
@@dindindundun8211 As a primer, you might like to use what you learned about SO(3) in the Dirac video to dive into spherical harmonics. A little knowledge about Laplace's equation should be enough to start getting a grasp there. Those functions certainly tie into the shapes of electron probability clouds, and that much I can provide resources for -- as far as reasons for this connection go, and as far as higher-dimensional geometry goes, I'm a clueless soul...
@@maxwilson7001 those orbitals, right?
It's kind of insane to me, as someone who never thought of math as more than just a school subject with only realistic applications, to see how math can be used in fun exciting and fascinating ways to learn and grow the ways in which people understand the world around them through numbers instead of words. I loved this contest, and hope it can teach everyone, interested or not, in the thought processes behind math
I've seen more of these videos than I thought without realizing they in part owe their existence to your contest. I'm legitimately tearing up a little. Thank you, genuinely, for inspiring more mathematical creators.
LA.m
I'm glad Grant used his reach for this this competition which acted as a multiplier of the number of high quality math explanations available online!
These are all insanely well done, this event was so cool!
So that's why KZhead started to get full of these amazing videos! I already watched a lot of them, they are truly awesome. The value that Grant and his team have created with this it's truly inmensurable.
I really loved this event. I didn't participate, but the amount of new educational content creators that I discovered is amazing. Props to all of them!
Thanks so much for holding this competition! I've had so much amazing math content to watch lately!
This is absolutely amazing initiative! Such a pleasure to read and watch these brilliant math pieces, thank you very much for your efforts!
This was an amazing contest! It has probably inspired so many new math explainers. You guys put a lot of effort into this, especially Leios.
yes, this "contest" was downright beautiful, i've seen various wonderful videos, really interesting concepts, well explained, problems for me to solve or at least try to, and lovely crafted. thank you very much, for inspiring so many amazing people to make just wonderful pieces of math and art
It's wonderful seeing how well this competition achieved the goal of encouraging new maths exposition. My KZhead suggestions have been full of it! The sheer quantity of such great work is unprecedented. Thanks for featuring my video.
I would suggest that you hold one of these contests regularly. Some people missed it and it is a great way to get underappreciated but nonetheless superb videos get more attention. I am also looking forward to watching the whole playlist and would love to have that opportunity every year or two. It would be a real gem.
Technically, I am not even part the math community. I just drop by whenever I feel like to see some cool stuff, but man! This whole thing actually moved me. I was almost crying while watching this video from the sheer beatifulness that this massive joint project collectively produced.
Ikr it's so wholesome!!!!
As a viewer, I really really enjoyed watching some of these videos. Thanks to all of you involved for making this happen and enriching our lives with a love of maths!
Had a blast in the past weeks watching a lot of these submissions! Thanks for creating the contest and thanks to everyone submitting some video!
I feel the work you do here for inspiring people in STEM literally could shift us as a world towards a brighter future. Thank you ✨
these videos has been showing up on my time line a lot lately, really happy that there so many people are doing math videos, thanks to this contest.
Thank you so much for hosting this. It brought me onto so many new content creators and my watch later playlist is so full now! Please continue this
The amount of math related videos recommended to me over the course of this ‘competition’ is beautiful and I really wish I could’ve watched more. I really hope you do something like this in the future. The world needs people like this, making content like this.
This was incredibly fun, even though I wasn't mentioned (as I expected, the competition is through the roof) it was an absolute delight to be a part of this
I have already had the pleasure of enjoying many of these video; thank you to both the content creators and 3b1b for this incredible event
I really like how this turned out and I hope this som competition becomes a regular yearly event. Thank you for all the work done about it to you 3b1b and to all the creators.
I really hope you make another one of these. the huge number of math videos that we got out of this was incredible.
Didn't learn of this exposition up until very recently, although I've seen some videos pop up in my recommended and I also enjoyed seeing a couple of them without even knowing about the contest. You truly did a great job at organising this and it's amazing how many people showed up with absolutely fantastic videos and explanations of all sorts of topics.
That math playlist will make many of my weekends :) Thank you for your contribution to get math more appreciation and of course thanks to all the people who sent in submissions or helped with the SoME :)
It's amazing to see so many people inspired to create math explainers (and just how incredible they all are). Once again, huge thanks for running all this!
Joining this content was a bliss to my channel and a very exciting challenge. My video about double integrals was the most hard and fun to create, so thank you for making this contest and for believing in our projects!
This is one of the finest things I have ever seen happen. I love the amount of high quality videos that got produced, and I watched so many of them. I hope that this happens again, and that other fields will see this and do similar events.
Thanks for doing this contest. I’m definitely saving that playlist
I've seen more math content from new channels in the last few months than I had in the last few years combined. I think this project was maximally successful. Well done to everyone involved!
These videos have been popping up in my recommended and I've been loving the flood of new content. What a fruitful contest!
Thank you so much again for hosting this. Ill make sure to work harder on my submission if this ever happens again!
What I find great is that I'd seen quite a few of these videos prior to your video. So obviously, what you're trying to achieve here is working. The Bezier curve video was definitely my favourite of them all. So beautiful and well explained.
omg, I can't believe this but also do. This is the best thing ever, I apprecite the inspiration you have done and you can tell from lots of submissions' youtube channels, most of which only had one video just for this SoME and nothing else could be better than this. Thank you so much!
Please, please, do a ‘best of’ compilation like this on a regular basis. I’ve watched and admired many of the videos you listed, but missed the majority of them. I look forward to watching the full playlist!
There were literally so many interesting videos I could watch and I enjoyed all of them. Like you said, it’s not about who won, but it’s about all the videos which were made and can still be enjoyed by many people for years.
absolutely love that you did this contest.
I rarly ever comment on KZhead, but I jusd feel obliged to thank you and all the other explainers. This summer was a truly spectacular one in terms of KZhead content. Sometimes I felt like a kid in a sweetshop, unable to pick which video to watch. each explainer more intriguing than the last. A fantasitcal expirience, witnessing this vast abundance of math enthusiasm thrown all around. The future of math education just got a fair bit brighter. Thank you, from the depths of my heart. Kannai.
I love how this "contest" populated YT with so many good videos. I already watched most of the "winners" before they were announced.
Amazing work to all the creators! I can't wait to spend hours diving into these entries!
It's so great to see the quality of those explainer, we need more people like this!
These are impressive. I am jealous of both the skills, knowledge, and the time they have to do all this. I am also grateful that they use that time to share them with us.
Many of these videos have popped up in my feed. I've watched a few and have learned quite a lot recently. I had no idea this contest was going on. Well done, sir.
By making this contest you've inadvertently created nearly infinite content for someone like me to binge on. I've been basically non stop learning new things and revisiting old topics that I never got a solid understanding of in my undergrad. I can appreciate how much effort it takes to create these sorts of high quality that are heavily researched, so this contest is a sort of outsourcing of that process. I am the benefactor and I feel so lucky to be able to learn about all of these topics in such an approachable and digestible form. Thank you 3b1b, and to the lovely maths community we have on KZhead.
I think my favorite part of this contest has been seeing how much it's changed my recommended videos! For all the issues I have with the KZhead algorithm, it really is amazing to notice the shift in curation towards a much greater diversity of maths related channels. It's so exciting to log in and have my first thought be "Wow, these videos all look incredibly fascinating!" rather than "Who in their right mind would ever decide to watch this?"
The KZhead algorithm kindly suggested about 80% of the videos you've picked... it was fun to go through some of them. It was obvious people put a great deal of effort into phrasing their ideas/findings/topics in an "easy to digest" way. I enjoyed watching them and I'll definitely be going through that playlist you've prepared. All of the participants did an awesome job!
Omygod this is genuinely one of the best videos on the internet. Not only did you bring many amazing lessons into this world, you have compiled the best and most interesting of them while being super entertaining and fun. I will be rewatching this video whenever I need to know of my next math video to watch
I have a Calc 1 midterm tomorrow and I was supposed to be reviewing nonstop right now but thanks to your epsilon delta limit video I only needed to spend 1/4 of the time than if I hadn’t seen that video. So now I get the time to enjoy a new vid from 3b1b Feels good man
Thank you for making this contest. So many wonderful and interesting maths video have been popping up in my recommended videos!
Thank you everyone involved for making this!
Thank you for organizing this, it was the push I needed to finally make the video that was floating in my head!
i learned so much from so many entries that didnt make it on this list. i think that this contest was a huge success and im so grateful.
Thanks for creating this challenge! It was nice to learn about numerous new topics from so many new characters.
It was really fun to join in on SoME1 this year, loved seeing all my fellow submissions! Love the influx of math content on KZhead this has led to!
ive been loving watching the videos and i really hope they keep making more
Love that you're using your notoriety to help others that deserve recognition to get it!
3blue1brown, I have to say this: With your contributions to Mathematics you will forever change the way Math will be taught and thought of. With your visual methods and those of all other great math youtubers, you make viewers and math enthusiasts understand topics that are seemingly impossible to grasp for the average brain. Aside your brilliant videos you have also brought the community closer together, unfolding the huge potential of all math creators on KZhead and other platforms. Thanks to you I can already see a new golden age for Mathematics, something that would have taken decades longer without your ambitions. You have also motivated lots of people to also share their contribution to Mathematics, making them feel more involved in research and also making us feel like scientists ourselves. I might consider making some KZhead videos about Math as well thanks to you :) Do not ever stop making these videos and I also ask you to make the competition an annual (or maybe even every 4 months) event to continue unfolding the entire potential of our brilliance. Thank you 3blue1brown for all of your contributions! (also, sorry for my bad english)
well said !! he helped unlock the great potential of learning math in a non mass education and progressive way !!!!!!!!!! thanks for 3bleu1 !!!
Thank you so much for organizing and facilitating this and thank you so much to all the participants! Wonderful content to enjoy and share.
You are actually making an impact around the world. I am living at the part of world where mathematics is made so tough to understand because teachers have not understood it well yet to deliver it with ease and enthusiasm. Thank you for providing such beautiful content and creating a community to share, learn and grow.
Oh wow, so *this* is why my KZhead feed has been filled with all of these new people making such great maths content! Thanks for putting this together, I've seen a few videos from the winners and honourable mentions, but I'll be sure to make my way through the rest!
To everyone who made a video for SoME, thank you so much. I learned a lot from all of the videos I've watched, and I want to watch all of them if possible! And maybe next year even join in, who knows.
Wow, will go watch them all! Nice work, we genuinely need more events like that!
So you're the reason why so many great math video's are popping up in my recomendations, I've even started a couple coding projects because of those video's, this contest was a great initiative and I hope people will keep trying to teach interesting math problems and concepts
I love the phenomenon than one person (who I am fond of because of his great math videos) can powerfully motive so many people. I'm gonna look through the list top to bottom.
This is so frickin awesome and I saw some a bunch of these videos not even knowing they were part of the challenge! I'm so glad Freya was in the top 5, she makes such cool videos!
thank you for making math beauty and fun accessible for everyone, love !!!
All these videos are an incredible gift to humanity. I hope SoME2 will see the light of day!
It was a very enjoyable experience to submit a video in this beautiful contest and every single one of the submission that you've mentioned (and all of them in the list as well) are truly amazing! Congratulations all!
The insane amount of effort that went into each of those videos ... absolute respect.
I didn't expect to be so excited to watch these videos when the contest was announced. But here I am.
Thank you very much for this event. I don't think I have ever seen such a large amount of incredible math explanation videos in my recommended. I would love to see other stuff like this in the future if possible.
I am in love with math and interactive way to express the beauty of it, because of You! Thank you :)
Congratulations to the winners and to everyone who participated in this context. It was fun to be part of this event. I particularly liked to see so many unique exposition styles out there. See you all next year!
The contest opened up so many new and interesting math channels I didn't even know existed. Now, gotta watch 'em all!
Your videos, among others, really have revolutionized the way math is taught!
What an absolutely awesome and worthwhile "contest" to hold, and congratulations to every single person who submitted a piece to it!
incredible, thank you for introducing us to some extremely talented individuals!
I certainly recall seeing several of those thumbnails in my feed over the past few weeks. They were all extremely good
I have watched some of the winners videos in the previous without even knowing that they were somehow linked with this competition. Just goes to show how competition like this has created genuine Math content that might not have been available without @3B1B. Love the great work!
I saw a bunch of those on my recomended list, and was shocked that it was the first video they'd upload. I had completely forgotten about this competition, it's great to see many of the videos I watched make it to the top 5, but every single one I watched was incredible.
I want to thank you for this summer of math. There are some really great videos that came from this and they really expanded my appreciation for math. I especially love Hackenbush by Owen Maitzen.
Hackenbush was my favorite too. I stumbled across surreal numbers a while ago, and was utterly baffled when I learned that they originated from game theory; that video explained where they come from so clearly.
yay! thank you Grant and James and everyone else for the amazing opportunity!
Watching this made me think about how much knowledge there is that exists right now which I have no clue about. However, it doesn't discourage me instead it does the opposite and motivates me to keep learning. Truly appreciate these.
I can’t wait to start tearing through that playlist. I had no idea you were doing this contest, I just started randomly seeing a ton more math videos in my feed and noticed that all the ones I loved had that “SoME1” hashtag. I’m so glad you did this, it made my life a lot more interesting
I missed the contest! But I just watched the anouncement video the other day and I think it was the push I needed to finally flesh out that script I have in the back of my mind :)
I'm happy to have taken part this. It was very fun and a journey of discovery for all of us. Congrats to the top 5 entries and everyone that participated as a whole!
