Well, the underlying mathematics is basically linear algebra and linear operators and in physics (what this clip here is about) you use this in quantum mechanics, e.g. this notation here : I a > for a quantum-state "a" ,which is treated as a vector in an infinite dimensional vector-space.
what sort of mathematics is this? ive never seen most of those symbols.

Great animation. For the number states, don't you show superposition of states, e.g. for n=10, you draw in fact sum over |n>, where n=1->10?

No, they are not superpositions. Each subsequent frame is just a different number state |n> from n=1->10.
