Euclidean Algorithm (TANTON_Mathematics)

[brandojazz]

Great job!

I was wondering, do u have a video for euclids extended algorith?

[nmacgre]

Cool, I've never seen this method. You have a trick for the extended algorithm as well? Extended being writing the GCD of a and b ad a linear combination of a and b.

The concept is sound, however I hesitate to show this to my students as the format you are using appears to make a series of fractions that some students might confuse as equal because of the arrows. Would you consider another video with a different representation? Regards.

Seinfeld brought me here.

do you get paid for this in some way?? these are awesome, why do you do them?

[DrJamesTanton]

@Benjikj No, I don't get paid - though that would be nice as I would like to move into general educational consulting/on-line work. Right now I am doing them for the love of getting good uncluttered joyful math out there!

Thanks everyone.

Straight to the point, clear, concise, the best

Awesome video. Can you make another video on the Euclidean Algorithm but instead do it over finite fields? Such as finding the inverse of 14 in F17 where F17 = {0,1,2,...,16}

straightforward teaching right to the point and understandable. good job
