  • Love the pace! At this rate how soon can we get to hyperbolic geometry?

  • That will be a while yet. But I do hope to get around to it----hyperbolic geometry done rationally is very beautiful! Thanks for your comment.

  • Ah, thanks. I noticed that about 20 minutes after I left the post. LOL.

  • @taltor727

    This is true if the Q terms are distances. However, this series has changed from distances to the notion of quadrance, which is the square of the side length. Therefore, the relation is entirely of first degree because quadrances are being dealt with.

  • Thank you, Professor! I don't know if you invented all of this or are just presenting it, but it is a wonder service you have performed for us! This is an inspiring achievement. I hope mankind has the gumption to accept the challenge of being open-minded enough to adopt this system.

  • Should it be Q1 squared plus Q2 squared is equal to Q3 squared?

  • why use Qs?

  • OY! Thanx for posting this! It's much easier to understand than going through about 7 examples and forgetting what it is your doing.

    Thank you so much for posting these videos! ^_^

  • man we just now doing logrorithmic funtions and damn wtf i get some of them but i can get solve when its like the exponent of a number is maybe x-3 and on the other side its 2 to the x power

  • i like pi.

  • I could smack your camera-person - I don't want anything to be off-camera. The pan and zoom is distracting. At max zoom out all your text is the same size as standard browser text - so stop zooming unless the left-out stuff will not come up again.

  • i'm looking forward to hyperbolic geometry as well
